what? Ferrari 488 ? ow 488hp...wow bounce and that just on the front wheels?

I love those Fiat coupe by look and interior, and that for such low prices, a shame they came with FWD only, otherwise I would have bought one long long time ago.

Are those engines btw, that strong for say 488hp or how much can they handle on their internals?

I owned 3 of those Fiat Abarth 130TC in the past, my first one in 1990 a red 130TC my second one in 1991 a black 130TC my third one in 1993 a antraciet 130TC
sadly never one with the recaro race seat option, almost bought such 130TC as well...but it was sold right in front of me smash

I don't have scanned in pictures of those on my PC sadly.

350 to 400 is about as much the stock engine will handle. After that then forged rods and Pistons along with many other modifications to take the power.

Nigel's coupe is extremely modified with a lot of time invested in getting it right.

There are bigger horsepower coupes around but Nigel's coupe is just about the sweet spot.

Mine is track prepared and running about 325 with uprated helix clutch along with many other modifications.

Fast enough for most tracks.

A pic of my (now sold) green-modded Punto 1.2 8V with Abarth/Novitec bodykit and Multipla/mooncaps wheels. A bit lowered it was too, with soundproofing and a decent stereo setup I could drive forever in good comfort at negiable cost. smile

1978 Fiat 132 1800 ES. Classic 1756 twin cam finished in tropical orange. Picture taken in the mid 80s in Scotland, but the car has long since ceased to exist...

Sweet Coupe & I love those magnesium Cromodoras that came with the 124, 125 and 132's. Man they were light!

I'll have to add some pics of my Argenta 120ie 1985. Last RWD Fiat... I'll never sell it.

Bosch LE-Jetronic injection, std is 122bhp and 175Nm - this one breaths better with bigger intake, exhaust and larger valves/lift. 145-150bhp maybe.
Rear battery, lowered, gas shocks and 15" wheels instead of 14". Goes really well both on track and long travels!

The large sunroof is sweet in the summer and that 400 litre boot swallows lots of champagne..

I started my Car-riere :-) with a Fiat Bertone X1/9 the early type, later after some more cars I've owned at least 5 of those.

Also owned very shortly a Fiat Panda with those camping seats and back-pain...(in bewteen cars)

Also 2 Fiat Uno as a in between car

Also owned 3 Fiat Ritmo Abarth 130 TC great cars at the time.

Also owned 3 Fiat 131 TC Racing also lovely at the time in orange and grey colours

So in total I've owned 14 Fiat's (from at least 122 cars that I have listed) over the last almost 40 years, the last one a Abarth 130 TC was back in 1993 :-)

here 2 of my first 2 X1/9 the red one was my first car ever.





and here 1 of my racings , those are almost the only fiat's I scanned in, most of the rest is in old photo books, sadly ad those days no digital kamera's so had to be lucky the pictures come back decent hah.

I've deleted my last entry here as the car keeps changing appearance.



Appearance won't be changing again.

those are lovely barchetta's great timeless shape and also with hardtop they look really cool, class classic and very cheap to buy.

No idea how they drive though, many times in those early days I saw them and thought, wow nice shape, but then FWD etc...grrr nope, so I went on with other cars e30 M3 (also owned 5 of those, some more special) etc at the time.

Stil love them though, when I see one I look it after or how you say that :-)

Despite the LHD ,in the UK They're not actually that cheap ,compared to the obvious MX5.

With Barchettas ,my opinion is anything below £3000 is probably a bit rough n rusty.

There's also a lot of low mileage cars which people ask big prices for ,6K+.

That's ^^^^ done over 150,000 miles now and is scruffy ,after 7 years of me abusing it.

hm, your right, great differences in asking prices, this is in NL prices from 995 euro to 8.500 euro, that last one is a wide body car, not seen such kit before, not that I was looking for such wide body.

and indeed, the rust monster, I guess not many around without that, or it must have been a summer only car.
