Hi Luigi. When I wanted a bespoke exhaust for my Alfa 33, I took it to a local garage (I know, before you say anything Waynne, I was lucky that the owner was Pete West). They custom built a system to my requirements. They basically took off the shelf, formed tubing and welded it to fit the...

Why go through all of the hassle, bite the bullet and pay the group 19 insurance. The looks and more importantly, the performance you get with a 20V (Turbo) Coupe is unreal. I had a bigger grin on my face, driving home on the road in my Coupe, than after several laps on the track in a hired F355.

Cheers Waynne. Has anyone any opinions on the Punto HGT Abarth? Probably a more sensible runabout for day to day use than the Coupe -> it's getting close to 60K miles now :?

It was a good find. It's a shame it was such a long time ago, 18 years, how time flies. I had the car for around 3 years before moving on to my first(often forgotten 1.5) Alfa 33. I remember at the time, specialist tuners were quoting 220bhp out of the Fiat 2.0 TC,but the 1.6 was left alone. It...

Most practical, the Alfa 33's. You could fit a couple of bikes in the back and still have a sporty ride, especially when you have a 1.7 Veloce Cloverleaf set up by Westune, Horwich, with a custom single box exhaust system. Most fun(excluding current 20V T. Coupe), 131 Sport, again run with a...

Was anyone out there lucky enough to own a series 1 Beta Coupe. I was lucky enough to find a 1600cc 1977, S reg in red (was originally blue light upon further investigations). Not a bad car to start on your motoring experience. Still in a red (Fiat) Coupe, although slightly over twice the...

Does anyone have fond memories of the back end loosing grip at the slightest pressure on the loud pedal, 2000TC, Sport or Racings??. Fondest memory in a Sport - 100 Miles up the M6 to a Stages rally, seeing our ride home being thrown sideways aroung a quarry on wet stone, the looks on the way...

It's Red (including factory fitted Zender Kit all round).Suffering from Kerb Rash to the front spoiler at the moment. A day in the bodyshop will clear it up...........

My first time on this sort of thing. What has been done to the coupe?? a 2k plus 72k mile service at the local Fiat dealership, it did include the dreaded cam belt change though! Next service due next month. Brakes are being "Brembo'd". Drilled sport discs and Brembo pads should end the infernal...
