RE: SOTW: Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo

[pfoe]

Owned 3 now, two 16vt and a 20vt. Incredibly quick (for the price) and a well serviced one will be very reliable.
Added bonus is cheap until you get over 260 bhp!

Mate's selling his at the moment with a few upgrades, a fantastically fast bit of kit for the price... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3750017.htm

Nope.

Ah, just that I know someone who sold one that colour this week!

[plenty]

I bought one too, as a direct result of this thread...the sense of occasion per £ is hard to beat

322bhp?

Not particularly difficult to achieve. You can do it cheaply and pop the lump quickly, or do it properly and it'll be everyday-reliable.

Aye, and done properly.

Yes, I know. I've got a Coupe. I was asking if this one has 322bhp and is the one that was sold through FCSS recently but as I've skim read the last few pages, it might have already been mentioned.

The very same. I only picked it up last Friday and was then ill all over the weekend, so haven't had much opportunity to 'tinker' with it yet. It does drive very well and the extra 100 horses over the standard is enormous fun.

I have found a little bit of rust which needs dealing with, plus with all the power upgrades I think the standard clutch it is running needs changing. I'm slowly building up a list of other jobs I would like to do, mostly cosmetic stuff like refurbing the filler cap and headlights (as I see you did).

That looks a fine car and one that I'd considered briefly until a short notice house move put an end to that thought. Congrats!

Must buy another one of these. Fantastic little cars.
