Oh that car is a rocket! Went really well!

I was down there with Greg Wood in his Alfa and another mate in his 124 coupe. Good day out

That was the quick red gtv?

Was a good day. Well run event, and the car went well!

The key is getting weight out if the front. I have fiberglass bonnet, and removed a/c which helps brakes & turn in - as does the plate LSD. ;D

Yeah cheers guys. Very happy with paint.

I note that both the Panda and Punto are now listed on the Fiat NZ site.
Probably old news but without an 'Italian dealer ' within 150 miles we tend to miss this kind of thing in the provinces

I thought you had Max Pennington selling the Fiat Chrysler brands now?

I predicted that the Panda and Punto would come after their launch in Australia. The next Dodge Journey will probably launch as the Fiat Freemont, removing the Dodge brand from NZ.

Pennington is going to be selling Alfa/ Fiat/Chrysler after setting up a new sales area away from the other more mundane stuff.
Must go for a drive down there and see what is happening.
Further update on this................still under refurbishment but looks close to being ready, currently a Dodge and a Jeep in the sales room and a few Nissans to fill up the end.

Saw that Neil..... looks solid. been brought and sold a few times last couple years.

Haha Brett, buying a house, working hard and having too many cars hasn't helped it's progress..... a few little things before compliance

My 130 is all running now and back together ready for a wof but I need some headlights  :P I think I may have to cut the plastic and ft some 7'' old school beams with the side light in. The plastic clips break and they fall out on the fait ones.
Its going well, Ive given it a few blasts down the street. Goes good. The motor is good.
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?

Nice work Jem, any pics? Yeah the main headlights real pain as 6 and 3/4 inches I recall.... not a common size

BB

Can't be bothered with pics sorry, It looks ok for a race car. Yes the lights are a pain, I might have to get some Normal ones and make up some grill, Try and get some off a old Morris or something with the backing plate and adjusters. Its worth more with a wof. I went for a test drive the othr day. Drive shaft fell off, got a $300 ticket. Also had to pay $46 to keep on rego hold as I went over time. Jesus its just cost me money that thing, however it does seem to go quite well and tho it still needs some things such as a slightly rough wheel bearing its not bad enough to fail a wof yet and I will need a tie rod end rebuilt, But really its going quite tough now that Ive gone over every bolt now. Just needs some headlights.
Oh and front wiper arms I seem to have lost them damn it.
I will take it to a track day soon enough I guess on Pauls trialer. Lots of people want me to give them a spin around the track and it does have a roll cage and the fait club is active, hence getting a Fiat, tho I do like it.

Hey gents, I'm having a mare with an uno turbo I recently bought, I replaced all the incooler hoses and now the car won't start, I figured it could be an air leak, triple checked and it's not, finally got the car started today, drove it 20m down the road, and it let off a pop and cut out, air hoses were fine but now I have no spark, any ideas? Or can someone point me in the way of a search?
