Re: BMW E30 rear suspension for 131

I will give you a reply today about it.
I have fitted custom made suspension in my Fiat that is based on original design but it is not a copy of original abarth suspension.

This is Svetla Rally, we ended 3rd in class and 11th overall but at the end of the season I am 2nd in class so not that bad as for the first full season driven with my Fiat.

Re: Fiat 131 Abarth S2000

I have opened the engine with broken valve and it is total disaster, everything is actually damaged. pistons are all damaged and one is completely smashed, the head looks exactly like the pistons so it will also be no more use of it. I have installed new engine and it goes like the previous one. Wil...

Re: Twin Cam to Type 9 Gearbox

You can make the adaptor plate by modifying original Ford Sierra bellhousing, i did it this way to my Fiat TC engine and it worked good. I have cut out the bellhousing using angle grinder and then i have made the remaining cast iron plate flat on a lathe. Drilled some holes and tapped it all. I made...

Re: My 131 abarth (never ending) story 2012 season update

You can do a simple thing with spacers. make it this way, bolt the spacers to the hub using screws and then drill holes in the spacers to fit pressed studs. i use it in my car like this in the back and this makes no problems at all. simple and effective, you can buy studs brand new for about 2 euro ...

Re: Fiat 131 Abarth S2000

Today I will order "new" used engine for the car so i do not care too much about tuning that new one, if it goes as good as the old one then it is fine, it has the power output at the level of VW Golf 3 Kitcar so enough for me. I will probably take care of the broken engine to try to get a...

Re: Fiat 131 Abarth S2000

Unfortunately on the last special stage i had engine failure, probably i have a dropped valve on cylinder 4. I have not opened yet the engine but on monday I will order another engine and simply replace it, at some later stage I would like to take a look inside and maybe I will be able to make the e...

Re: Fiat 131 Abarth S2000

21st of july was our lucky day, we have won Ceske Budejovice rally in A3 class(up to 2.0 liter) and we have been 6th overall with only few 4wd cars in front of us. I have fitted in the rear Proflex Mcperson struts and right now i can travel much quicker, no more bumps as the suspension is now 3 way ...

Re: My 131 abarth (never ending) story 2012 season update

I meant of course fully compressed when the car is put on the ground, so that the weight of the car will make those helpers compressed. there is no other way to make it as the helpers must be very soft springs, for example in my friend's civic typer r that has proflex suspension the helper is no mor...

Re: My 131 abarth (never ending) story 2012 season update

helper springs should be fully compressed, helper is used to adjust ride height of the suspension and might work good on full opening of the suspension as the last few cm of travel are made with small rebound force and this will keep the wheel in a small "holes" on the road without giving ...
