CANT KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN AS THEY SAY,,

MY NEW LITTLE TEEPOT ONLY A 1.4 BUT I DONT MIND.
THE COLOR IS MORE OF A PREFERENCE. I LOVE IT,

SHES GOT THE DIGI DASH, E/W AND CENTRAL LOCKING WOW....

WITH 103K UNDER HER BELT...

1.4 carb :slayer:

F reg too?!

Saved my life that car, was missed badly. Looks a beauty. Any rust on the rear doors, where the glazing bar between the fixed and windable windows meet the main door skin?

liking the digidash

Trancendental · Aug 20, 2006

I got a Digidash... its on the floor next to me as it wont fit in my motor... and no I'm not going to force it in anyone

Nice one, glad to see you back on with the Tipo's

There is a tiny bit of rust on her, on the driver side rear arch near the petrol
flap, apart from that none what so ever, even under the bonnet is spotless,
no oil any where, , got my 17's already....bbs this time....

:slayer:.

would that 1.4DGT by any chance be F607 RLA - In which case I used to own it 14 years ago!?

dazzo666 · Aug 21, 2006

NO WAY...... yes it certainly is the very same one....

Oh my god i take my hat off to you cos you must have looked after it to be in the condition it is today,, i had to spend 3 hours cutting and polishing her to get a shine back, and by crikey does she gleam,
How long did you own RLA for???

maddogmorg · Aug 22, 2006

1.4 carbs are the best by far *cough apart from sedis etc*

nice colour though!! i've seen some pretty nasty coloured tipos! when i first got mine i thought it was a rare car too lol. i've seen a dull blue and also a dull orange tipo by dull i mean like a matt sort of paint.

tipomike · Aug 22, 2006

Yep - that's amazing that my old car is still around!! I bought it as - I think - the second owner in June/July 1992. I was in my early thirties then and with 2 small children it was the ideal car - fun to drive and like the tardis inside.

I was given a company car in january 1996 - at which point my wife took over RLA, but we sold it in October of that year when she bought a Cinq Sporting - this time with black windows, lowered suspension, strut brace, uprated shocks, K&N conversion - a real go-cart!!

RLA was bought from a garage in Amersham and was traded into Carchoice in Bourne End, Bucks. I used to see it frequently and had wondered where it had gone.

It was during the ownership of this car that I discovered the Sedicivalvole - but had to wait a few years before I could afford one. In fact I have had 3 and still own the first one a black J plate (see gallery) - now in our mid 40,s does that make my wife and I the oldest Sedici drivers?!!

We also run a Punto Mk2 sporting and a Seicento Sporting and my son runs a Mk1 punto Sporting - how sad is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi mike.

What's wrong with the left headlight? It seems as it's covered with a plastic bag or sth...

Hellcat · Aug 27, 2006

If you look carefully you'll see its cracked. Not too big a worry though. Hardest part of replacing it will be sourcing a replacement unit. Think ebay will be best place to get one.

dazzo666 · Aug 27, 2006

found a brand new one on Flea Bay for a tenner,
so that was a billy bargain..

dazzo666 · Aug 27, 2006

Ive currently put some new alloys on the tipo,
bit of a 4x4 stance dont you think.....

Anyone got any lowered springs??

Hellcat · Aug 27, 2006

4x4 Tipo would be cool, been done before and looks like it handles awesome!

Alloys maybe look just a tad too big, might look better with the car dropped a few mm.

dazzo666 · Aug 27, 2006

yeah that would be a bit mega.... the intergrale set up would fit wouldnt it?? will be lowering the tipo as soon as i can....

Hellcat · Aug 27, 2006

I've posted video before. Think it is an intergrale setup but its not as easy as a simple bolt on

sumplug · Aug 27, 2006

To do a 4x4 Tipo, you need the Dedra 4X4 rear axle. Fits straight on a Tipo as they are basically the same floor pan.

Now lowered the teepot looks much better, dont you think??
