Hi all - just showing my face in here with something you guys may be interested in.
I'm from the Fiat Coupe forum (www.fccuk.org/forum) - one of the founder members and recently promoted to board admin after several years as a Moderator.
I run a 20 valve turbo, but modded to just over 400bhp.
As you might imagine, 400bhp through the front wheels can get a bit unruly, so as well as fitting the optional extra Fiat front suspension brace, I've also designed and had made a lower subframe brace.
I know from my Coupe specialist (Motormech in Birmingham, who incidentally is just as good on other Fiats) that the front subframe on some other Fiats is the same as the Coupe - certainly the Tipo and Bravo/Brava, and probably the Marea - you guys probably know a lot better that I do.
I fabricated a mild steel brace as my first prototype - this lasted about 18 months before numerous groundings and two winters meant it was a bit secondhand. I've now designed a version 2 brace, using 20mm solid stainless, rather than 25mm mild steel tube.
Happy to meet up with any Midlands-based owners that would like to have a look.
Anyway - the original Group Buy for the Coupe owners is now finished, so I thought I'd extend it to all of you over here.
rather than repeat the content of the original Coupe forum thread here, this is a link to the subframe brace thread on the FCCUK forum
Price is very dependent on numbers, but we're looking at about £100 + P&P - this is a superb handling mod and the quality of the workmanship and materials is very high.
I realise I'm a newbie on here, but my credentials at FCCUK should give you the confidence to deal with me. I believe some of the regulars on this board are also regular at FCCUK.
feel free to ask any questions
