Styling pimped your tipo

[sediciRich]

180!! I've over 200 on std comp ratio, so yes there far more from the 2.0 engine NA if you have the budget and obvious even more in turbo form. But power isn't everything, get some nice coil overs made and some coupe turbo brakes its would be pretty good on track.

200.... wow. That's a lot. Surely it's a trade-off at that level between reliability and performance? Ok for a few hours of track per year but for day-to-day use?

 

[sediciRich]

I mean if you think you can neglect it of course not. It is def however a trade off for a road car interms of drivabiltiy all the power up one end, but that doesnt bother me I have a racing gear kit which puts the power in the right place. But there are plenty of 200bhp Peugeot 16v, Vauxhall XE 16v and K series 16v running that power on road cars. I think the reliabilty is a function of the build quality, driveabilty being the the difference in intended/expected use and the actual charateristics of the engine.

did you see my newer post in members motors on here?

is it a easy job fitting the turbo or is there alot of messing around?
i've been tidying mine up a bit more and im on the look out for some nice white 17" alloys for it, i was watching some on ebay other day but missed the end of auction and they sold for £72:bang: . keeping all body and interior standard as it looks well, just want induction kit fitting and nice alloys for it.

I was planning on getting mine to Mitcar... it's sooner and closer!

sedicivalvoe your red Tipo is gorgeous. What's it like to drive?

Thanks. It drives really well and only has 64k on the clock. I also have a white one (with 94k ont he clock) as well and they both drive completely different. The red one pulls alot quicker and with the 16" alloys handles slightly better. But my white one needs a little bit of tlc. I hope to have the white looking completely standard by spraying my original alloys black and putting them on it instead of the after market wheels currently on it. Then its just a case of replacing the worn discs and pads etc.

So the white one's going to look like a 5 door milkbottle?

Does that make the milkbottle a fridge, and yours a fridge-freezer?

I'd take it all the way back to Turin right now.. enjoying the true driving feel again. It's a world away from the 5 star rated, multi-acrynmed, re-enforced saftey cell Bravo.

guess mine will be a fridgfreezer then :slayer: it needs alot of tlc till it looks any where near milkbottle though

anyone ever considered a splitter for their tipo? any pics? i may be able to get a 155 one from someone who makes them, but can't decide how it'll look!!

 

[Hellcat]

Milkbottle rubs against the floor as it is... If I put a splitter on her I'd be re-attaching it every few days.
