So so so so so cool. With Fiats electrical nightmare, how reliable will it be. Or has it been completely re-wired?

There are NO OEM wires in the car! EVERYTHING has been rewired! :eek: New wires for the steering wheel, the ABS, ignition, lights, engine, ECU, gauges etc... I will take a photo of the pile of wires of the OEM ones... It looks like a nightmare!!! :D

And a small teasing video as we got the car out of the garage for a test ride. We just drove a mile away and back. All systems work fine! :D Now we have to clean up the mess, glue some very thin carpets underneath the seats, install seatbelts and then go for a dyno! :D I promise for a video during the day with the car running up and down the road! :D

DAMN YOU! :(

Looking good, though. Bet you're glad its almost finished? Or are you? I bet working on it has been great fun.

The interior just looks, something else. Fantastic Job Nikos.

Finished!!!! Everything ready now! We had a quick ride this night. We also weighted it. It was 1.300kg and even after adding the 30kg roll cage, it now weights 1.210kg!!! Great success!! :) Tomorrow morning I am going to drive it for quite a time to test everything on the car. I will get and that day-video that I promissed you. On Monday evening I am going to a dyno to see what that Stilo can do! :)

The car is ready and tomorrow morning we are going to the circuit!!!! :) I will have my camera fixed for in car videos! Today we did some runs up and down, but we didn't got any video since the codriver had to watch the laptop and check measurements from the ECU.

Just to tease you a bit more, until I get you some videos from the circuit tomorrow... :)

Apart from the sight of this magnificent car for which I am certain there is nothing like it in the workd, I'm looking at your video and wondering, where's the freakin' snow? Rain, something? :p

Just wondering why is there such a huge difference considering Bucharest is only 450 km away. :)
Click to expand...
Yes, but 450km straight to the North!!! ;)



I promised a video, so here it is one from the circuit, with one quick lap... Enjoy...

PS: sorry for the bad position of the camera, but I haven't got a base yet and I had to tape it on the roll cage! :eek:

:) It is just the way the video was taken! I will get you a video from the road, from outside the car. It blows like an 18-wheeler!!! :D
