Introduction
This is a car that I bought just over 4 years ago with the plan to turn it into a track car. Well, it's taken all of that time since then to replace just about every bit of it and prepare it for its first track outing, which was yesterday, 31st Aug 12 at Castle Combe.
Spec is as follows:
Stilo 1368cc 16v Engine, producing 109bhp, 109lb.ft
Stilo 6-speed gearbox with Quaife ATB diff
Punto mk1 inlet manifold with Bravo 1.6 throttle body
Supersprint tubular exhaust manifold going to custom 2" de-cat system (2 silencers, 96dB static)
Emerald K6 engine management with custom loom
3.5Bar fuel pressure from Coupe 20VT fuel pump to T-Jet injectors
AVO GTZ coilover suspension, OMP Seicento MPI Strut brace
Modified top-mounts to give just over -2deg camber and extra castor
Sparco bolt-in roll cage
Sparco Sprint-V seats, Willans harnesses
Punto GT front brake calipers and discs (257mm vented)
Lancia Thema 16v wheels (14x6J)
I think that just about covers the spec, so here are the pictures of the car as it was at Castle Combe yesterday. I gave a few passenger rides and gave the keys to a couple of my friends from the Coupe Club (FCCUK) and everyone was very impressed. It's not a fast car by any means, but it's loads of fun and surprisingly chuckable. Should be well suited to its next outing, Curborough Sprint track on Sep 14th with the Coupe Club.
Enjoy,
James.
