New tipo

Woohoo have a 3dr sedici finally.
So what you may ask...well here in New Zealand we only ever got 16 3dr sedicis! and no 5 dr sedicis. So needless to say pretty tough to get.
That's the good news...the bad news it has run a bottomend!
Which leaves me with only one option..put a 16v turbo motor from a coupe into it. How hard could it be?

Re: New tipo

OK made space in shed and started to strip engine. All disconnected and ready to be dropped.

Will run coupe subframes to enable me to run wider track both front and back.

As an aside do sedici's come without abs? I thought they all had abs as standard but this one doesn't.

ABS was optional on the 16v.
