1UZ Capri Drag Car

[edz]

This is the engine pics of a 1uz black Ford Capri drag car that I saw at Summernats in Jan 09. Big $ spent, $6000 worth of braided fuel lines alone. Engine pics are nice.

Looks really cool but im not so sure about that uber complex bendy intake pipe that goes right over the hottest part of the motor.

That is one of the craziest 1UZs I've ever seen. Nice and shiny. CHa-Ching!

shiney, i can't imagine all that piecing the pipe together is good for flow.

They should have used an aftermarket oil cap.. lol
Lots of fab work.. 6000 in lines? Seems.... exaggerated?
But nice looking definitely.*

If you live in Oz and it is Earl's fittings and teflon lines - not exaggerated at all !

I agree, I was going to ask - but I lost interest in talking to the guy when he started bagging out his mates budget build next to him and talking about his $6000 braided lines - the way he was talking, any figures quoted would have to be taken with a pinch of salt! We'll have to wait until someone sees his car on the 1/4.

very nice build, love the intake manifold is it a one off or is there more if so how much

I mentioned this car to a mate of mine that knows the owner, he said it use to run a windsor V8, but he hasn't looked back since the 1UZ conversion. He thinks it got a 9.8 on a fairly soft tune with more to come. It competed in the http://www.streetcarsuperstars.com.au/ in January and is pictured in the current Street Machine Magazine in an article about the cruise.
