Stilo My Stilo

[coyle]

were there no fully manual 2.4 abarths?

the 1.8 engine is lovely, but its a lot of work for not enough gain IMO.

or go the full hog and fit a 2.0 20v turbo engine :yum: i cant see it being too hard to do. With the 2.4 and the coop 20v engines both being 5pot and share a load of similarities, i cant see the engine mounts being vastly different from each other...

The turbo is a much bigger job from what i understand.. all the way down to the electrics. and space for the turbo and intercooler

They did do an abarth manual, some of the later abarths and the schumacher I think was a 2.4 with 5 speed manual.

You haven't done anything to the actual shell of your car so cheapest easiest way would be to buy a silver abarth and swap all your bits over ?

I have thought about this too, its my preffered option. but i'm finding it impossible to find an abarth which is in my exact colour, if sum1 finds me one, i WILL buy it

Respray the panels of the abarth. Roof, doors, etc

but then i'll have to spray the bumpers, bonnet and boot aswell to put on my 1.4 to return it to standard. so its a full respray which is 1500ish...

if i get it in my colour.. thats £1500 saved already!!!

 

[danhans115]

What exact colour is it?

Im low on ideas, i feel like i always need to do something new, as everytime i see people they expect somehing new to go oohhhh ahhhh about lol

then go and take some pics of that bumper for me then

I think you should either smooth the door handles or replace them with some flush jobbies off another car.. sorry if thats been said, didn't read the whole thread

Apart from this car making me now want a Stilo, am I the only person who thinks that the last few pictures make the front end look like a Skyline r34?

HAHA.. cheers!

A few people have said that to me before about looking like a skyline.. someone said it reminded them of an Evo, not sure whcih though...

 

[Munkul]

They are £220 for a reason. That reason is they are sh!t. You would struggle to get a good spring and damper set up for £220 nevermind good coilovers.
