Isn't the strut brace meant to be touching the metal? not on top of other mounting brackets?

Not sure about that, i didnt fit it to be honest but if anyone else knows the correct way it should be fitted let me know so i can do it right. I have removed it at the moment anyway because i want to have it sprayed red. Cheers

My original clutch went about 2 years ago, i replaced it with a standard one from fiat and it has been fine since.

Mine is slipping like mad with 10 psi :(
I think someone had abit to much fun in it before i got back after the conversion.

Do you know what bhp yours is putting out?

Thanks Theresa

I havent had it on the rollers yet so i dont know for sure but i'd guess its pushing out easily 160Bhp could be more could be less lol I dont know for sure just yet but when i do i'll be sure to let everybody know on the Fiat Forum :D
I think Duncs uno turbo did 170BHP when he took it on the rollers recently so i guess my spec isnt too far off from his although he's had more work done to his than mine.
Anyways about the clutch thing have you checked the master and slave cylinders? Might be something to do with that, or the clutch cable might need adjusting, but sounds to me like your clutch has had its day really if its slipping that badly. 10psi in a cinq turbo must be quite a ride still :D

Yeah 132 bhp in a cinq is pretty scarey :D
It slips for a few seconds when the boost kicks in then picks up again.You dont have any of that stinky clutch smell though :confused:
 
Is that the normal location for the front number plate! Looks like a lot of money's gone in to that car. The strut brace shouldn't matter where it's fitted in relation to the other brackets, as long as it's firmly fitted, and maintains the tops of the suspension towers a set distance apart.
