Off the chisel cunt, mean

Need more of these on here, well done

[Abarth]

131's are mean! If I was to ever get another oldschool fiat it would be the 131 R.

Does the cert cover the 16V head too?

May as well make it brutal.

Plans are to get it goin again as soon as I can, this requies:
finish the work on the front end and get it painted
re-wire front of the car
reassemble the car (as much as required)
finish building the turbo engine I have been working on, except I'll bolt the supercharger on it initially as this will be easier/cheaper/quicker to get sorted
get cert/homologation/authority card sorted

then go do some trackdays/hillclimbs more or less as it was. Once I have it going I can think about other stuff such as putting a huge snail on it, or installing trick suspension etc.

FYI the previous setup was
Lancia Volumex engine
132 diff w/disc brakes
uno turbo front brake calipers and OMP cross drilled discs
lowered heavy duty suspension (dont know what springs and shocks they actually are)
15x7 performance superlites

Nice........... Had one of them years ago. Was one of those with the factory boxy flared guards etc. Was way to young to realize what it was and stuff. So we paddock bashed/river bed rolled it.

damn this is gonna be mackin, what a giant gearbox hole though haha

[treggo]

Are the rear wheels 8" wide?

Do they have much more dish than the 7''s?

[retep130]

it gets to a point where you cant go any further inwards, so an 8 inch would be close to an inch wider on the outside I would think

Nah they are 15x7's all around, with I think +12 offset. 15x8 performance wheels superlites would have -4 offset, so another 16mm dish.

Fuck, YES!

Awesome car dude, looking forward to oggling the progress of this sucker.

Agreed!

[Ted Huang]

you is crazy

[Abarth]

Thats a nice collection of engine bits you have there.
I am building an 8v as well but N/A.

Are you going to run standard 84mm turbo/supercharge pistons?
Are you going to re bore the block?

For my engine I have the 84mm 105tc pistons and after reading a lot on the Guy Croft forum I was thinking blow by might become a problem. Thoughts?

[FIAT]

As long as the piston bore clearence is good there should be no problem.

[Mike-e]

this is mean. sort your shit out, pull all that sound deadening out. you've got some sweet crap lying around for it also.

cant be fucked working out what the fuck a volumex is? supa charga?

[Testament]

yeah Volumex = supercharger/supercharged engine/supercharged variant of the Lancia Beta called the Beta Volumex, or just VX
volumex engine
http://www.lancia-be...r/volumex03.gif

Beta VX coupe, and the weird looking wagon version, Beta HPE (High Performance Estate)






The pistons I'm using are are new old stock volumex ones, standard 84mm bore, the block is pretty good so will be ok with just a hone and stay at standard bore. as long as piston to bore clearance is < about 4-5thou and you have the correct ring gaps it should be ok.

105TC pistons in a 2L is pretty high compression 11.5:1 or something, you will want to do a dry build probably, and definitely if you use big cams.

[Sparkle]

fucken mean. aerodynamics of a brick.
love it.
