Hello everyone!

I have browsed Fiat forum a lot of times in the past when I needed some info and now decide to join it.

I own a 1994 yellow Coupe 2.0 16vt with some electrical problems due to previous owner/s, sitting in my drive way waiting to be fixed (hopefully soon ).
Second one is 1990 white mk2 Uno 1.4 3 door with plans on restoring it and dropping 1.4 turbo in it with rollcage, uprated suspension and brakes, PU bushes all round, seats, harness...etc, to make it a proper race car and comply with regulation for historic hillclimb events. I bought almost all parts for that (+ a couple of cars for parts) but putting off the project due to lack of time.

Until i fix Coupe i drive my gfs 2003 grey Stilo 1.6 16v 3 door.

Hello srky, those in the know, the Coop is quite a beast, & for the average driver it's not the easiest car to work on. They are getting on now & suffer badly from rust. The towers in the corners,& other hidden areas are places you should check. To be honest they are money pits, I should know, my Coop is having an extensive restoration (not by me) costing a good chunk of cash.

These cars get under your skin & looked after properly can give you miles of pleasure. Best of luck.

Tnx for info.
Mine was in garage most of the life but neglected last 3 years, then I bought it. Bodywork is in good condition (some paint paint discoloration on hood), but engine and gearbox are in good condition, cat is gone, front strut mount also gone, brakes are good but we'll be upgrading front calipers... but mostly i have to find out why sometimes loses breath after 4500 rpm. But I'm going to start with basics and work my way to make it roadworthy...:slayer:

Above is very true and not much of the same era competition will keep up...:slayer:

hey srky-

the 16vt is ALOT easier to work on than the 5-cylinder models

the engine complexity is reduced, and the under bonnet space available is greater

Plus- the engine is derived from much Lancia stuff of the period making diagnosis quite straight forward. I would suggest in the first instance you look at the boost control valve...
