Turbo Coupes were available with cruise control also. It's something I've wanted to add to my '84 Capri for long drives. I assume using an appropriate Ford steering wheel would permit keeping the Ford...

I've relied on Hanlon Motorsports for most transmission items. https://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/

I'm also looking for a new turbo for the Capri. No racing, no hero dyno pulls. More power is better but not at the expense of excellent street manners since the Capri gets driven to Radwood shows (up ...

Radwood SoCal was great again. Car did fine, about 850 miles round trip. even averaged 27 mpg along one stretch.  Some other cool Fords too.  [hr]

Ray, the TFI is always worrisome. Since the car is running on a PiMP, I've looked at ways to eliminate the TFI but always get overwhelmed and just motor on with the hope I'll source another decent qua...

I'm driving the Turbo aRSe from Queen Creek, Arizona to Torrance, California for RADwood SoCal (https://www.radwood.com/radwood-socal) Saturday Nov 19. If anyone is going, stop by and say hi. This wil...

The Ford EEC-IV didn't really lend itself to "tuning". Even back in the 80s-90s, companies like Hypertech and Superchips weren't offering anything. There's nothing "off-the-shelf" already tuned for...

That's great! The writeup didn't seem to mention anything about your transmission.  :D

In my experience, the choice is determined by the wheels. For example a drag race setup might have to fit inside 15" wheels. Moser makes several axle lengths and spline counts. The simplest is...

Spec Stage 2+ and Spec steel flywheel. Purchased from Shannon (Stinger) April 2019 and has around 7500 street only miles. I'm selling this because it's a little too aggressive for my mild street ca...

Following up. I replaced the TFI module and PIP sensor. The TFI is in a Motorcraft box but the part does not say Motorcraft on it. The PIP sensor is a Standard Motors from the local O'Reillys store...

The distributor is now out and disassembled. The gear looks good. I don't see anything obvious such as oil leaking in, internal arcing, debris, etc. However, one of the two screws holding the PIP ...

Yes, still stock TFI distributor. The TFI module was replaced about 2 years ago. As far as I know, the distributor is otherwise original 1984. Ray, I am flattered you think I have friends.  :D  Yes...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it does "seem" to be temperature related. It's most noticeable with higher rpm and wider throttle. It may be occurring at lower rpm and small throttle openings but ...

Gents, My 1984 Capri Turbo RS is having ignition troubles (I think). Stock rebuilt engine with PiMP controlling it and still running the original distributor.  The problem is recent and intermit...

Awesome car. Still must leave people scratching their heads.

On most Foxes I've had, red/blue stripe is the ignition solenoid trigger wire. Often, it is routed through a clutch switch, to the transmission tunnel, etc. Just a suggestion.
