Ok lets be serious, who has a Coupe and doesnt expect it to cost them a fortune????

I too have a sprint blue 20vt and like the rest of you when it works it makes you feel like a little kid and xmas! I have just spent a fair few quid replacing the thermostat, water pump, head gasket and cam belt. Fair to say I should have replaced the clutch at the same time but now have to remove it all again just for this.

Anyone have any ideas on a decent clutch to replace mine with? Its not far from standard with only 65k on the clock! Its got a K&N air fiolter, uprated fuel pump, stainless exhaust, dump valve and thats about it.

Anyway I have to work even more now as no doubt something else will need replacing!

I have a fiat 20v Turbo that has been nothing but a nightmare. electrical faults mechanical problems and a blistering bonnet. I have just had the belts done, new rad, new clutch, alternator and alarm stripped out. she now start by voice recognition which i have to say is cool. I have had it rolling road tested and she is now 280 bhp with thanks to the guys at R-Tech and a lot of money spent. She actually does 0- 100 in 7.3 seconds dead. That i have to say does munch my tires. Im still having problems with the battery holding its charge. Brand new huge uprates beast to power the alarm, tv’s and RSub install. Ive checked the alternator and nothing is obviouse. Has any one hot any ideas.

Over all she is great fun. She wipes the floor with every car i play with. Skylines, boxsters, even a 348 tb Ferrari owned by our local village idiot. I laugh every time when i think of how much money i have left in my wallet.

Good luck to you all.

Hi,
Please contact me. Would be good to see pic’s of you 20vT.

I have a sprint Blue 20v-T, almost near excellent condition.
Just spent £2,500 (TNI Motorsports Kent); full belts; all oils; clutch etc service.
Somehow I have a oil leak too, spent already £150 on investigation, new sump etc. Now booked with FIAT for a final inspection/ advice on root cuase of oil leak. Car was 100% dry before the service…

Would be good to discuss/ exchange ideas.

Thx, Sodi.
