Here's Everything WRONG With My CHEAP Survivor 1992 Mercury Capri XR2

I bought this 1992 Mercury Capri XR2 for the smoking price of $2,500. It's a coupe, it has a Mazda drivetrain, it's turbo'd it's intercooled, it's a manual, and it's fun to drive. Nothing could go wrong right? Wrong. It's all broke and today, we start solving problem after problem to make this car worthy of it's doorstop shape. I didn't really plan on fixing everything today but that just sort of happened, there's not to much left to fix after this!

Hell - Even napa's parts were only slightly more expensive.

Chose one of these over a miata back in ‘93, needed the extra practicality of a back seat and boot for. Had it for 8 years, loved it, but when it came time to get back into a small convertible 10 years later I bought a ‘90 miata because it was going to be easier to source spare parts as it got older. A shame, the Capri was a sweet handling little front driver, and had less scuttle shake than either of my miatas.

The Fox Chassis Capris weren't even the first ones. They actually came out in the early 70's here in the US and are quite beloved in the UK. They were originally called the Ford Capri as well. The V6 was a nice engjne to have in those, or at least the 2.0L OHC inline 4. They could be modded and tuned quite well.

The Ford Capri and the Leyland P76 were both considered Australian failures in automotive manufacturing. Not because they were bad cars, but because they just didn’t sell well. The Leyland P76’s big selling point was that you could fit a 44 gallon drum in the boot (trunk).

Many good & some bad memories coming back with this car!! Happy to see the Capri again. ☺ BTW, do not drive it in any semblance of a rain storm. You will likely need to bale 2 inches of water from inside. Carry a jacket or something dry to lay on the seat because the driver's seat will hold several ounces of water. They were called Crapis for a reason. Luckily most of the troubles were on the 1991s.

@69Dartman 3 жыл бұрын

My buddy's family had one of the original Capris from the 70s with a tiny v6 in it. I also remember the 80s one based on the Mustang and remember another friend's buddy doing a huge burnout on the street in front of his house, pretty sure it was a brand new one with the 5.0. I don't think I remember this version but the turbo and convertible makes it interesting and rare. So many versions of that name were sold here back in the day.

@Jackalski57 3 жыл бұрын

I still have manuals for them. The Fox Chassis was heavier, but had better power options, especially the V8. Those were only produced from '79 to '86, though supposedly some were made for '87 before they cancelled the program. I tried to get behind this one when it came out, but the FWD and lack of real power just kind of did it in for me. Besides, I still was in love with my '86 bubbleback Capri with the 5.0L!

@cesarefunkgio3597 2 жыл бұрын

Good eye! You're right! That Fiero was rear mid engine, also similar to the Toyota MR2. Nothing wrong with the design, except the American market wasn't ready for it at that time. The *1986 Fiero GT* was one of my favorites American designs by then; it looked a little wider than the original one. I had a Mercury Caprí XR2 for couple of years, it was like a go kart, very nice! w/Mazda technology but far from the RX7's performance and the Miata. Remember the Fiat 1/9? (1979//1982) Rear mid engine, it was avant-garde and the japanese got seduced by the Italians designs rather than the quality )ö(. The MR2 was very similar and came on 1982. Salud!

The Ford Laser was the Escort over here. My uncle was a huge Mopar nut, but he had an Escort hatchback and the wagon. Oddly enough, his wife had the Mazda 323 which was basically the same car. Later, he got the Dodge Dakota R/T when it first came out and my aunt got the Mazda MX6 which was basically a Probe and they trashed Ford, even though his wife was basically driving a Ford and he still needed to drive his Escort and we rally raced his Escort a few times. I don't know how the Laer did in Australia, but here in Florida, the Escort soaked up the dirt, sand, swamp and snakes just fine. We speedball raced in his truck from the panhandle of Florida to Key Largo. We took the MX6 to a race around the state and it did horrible. It's always neat to hear about the different vehicles people get in other countries and how well they do, or don't lol

I’ve still got my 91 Capri XR2 from High School and I still drive it like I stole it. Hard to find a more fun car for the $$$

Some states require front tags. Colorado does for sure.

Ever since I've seen the 1st video of this car, I've noticed a few Capris on a car group I follow!!

I would have to disagree with the Car Ninja about the hose clamps there JR. The worm gear clamps are good I agree, but they only clamp down with the force you apply to them whilst installing the new hose. After that they are static, so if the hose or the pipe it attaches to deteriorate it loosens its pressure and you get a creeping leak. A spring clamp of good quality in that scenario keeps on self adjusting as the hose or the pipe deteriorates and tightens it's grip continuously.

If you contact a glass company in Australia called O"Briens and tell them you have a Capri that needs a windshield You will be laughed at for about five minutes or so then they will check their back stock and offer you their entire remaining stock because no one in Australia is dumb enough to still have a Crapi, There might however still be a few in South Africa Singapore or New Zealand
