I was expecting some holes and rust anyways since the rear floor pan has had some quite large patches put on in the past and the front has no patches, I think quite a lot of the drivers side floor will need replacing too due to the amount of water that was sitting there, annoyingly the floors in my donor coupes are really really rusty and full of holes so I cant cut from them for mine

Well we are off to a great start with cleaning up the front foot wells, I don't think I should be looking at the driveway after removing the sound deadening, and this is the side that didn't have a swimming pools amount of water sitting in it

Did you book using the website or did you call/email the hotel and mention the Fiat Coupe event?

Cheers


I booked direct and mentioned the event in the notes; I opted for the Flexi deal with free cancellation which you pay at the hotel, assuming that if there is a discount for us they will apply it there and then.


That's great, thanks Simon. I'm all booked in now, with the pay on arrival Superflex deal.

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone on here bought this car. It was just down the road from me and I looked at it before buying my current Yellow Plus. It is a very good car but didn't have the essential (for me) factory sunroof.

I seem to remember something like 330lb-ft. I was slightly over the limit, but you’re in a different postcode….

The clutch would occasionally slip if I left my foot resting on the pedal as it hit max boost, so it was clearly at the limit with the old turbo.

Have you thought about using the Blitz boost controller to limit the rate of boost gain? Going from no boost to full boost in 1500rpm will be entertaining for a while but could soon get tiresome. You have four different channels - they don’t have to use different boost rates - you could have different channels for different gain rates.

I specifically used channel 1 for when I had non-petrolhead passengers. 1.0 bar boost and a really gentle boost gain. It still made about 400bhp, but the gain was very gradual, so it was less frantic.

TBH I'm never really driving it with my foot flat to the floor like you were on your track days and runway top speed runs smile So the power should come on slightly more progressively when I'm feeding in the throttle on the twisty roads driving
I'll see how it goes, but if it does turn out to be too crazy I can turn down the boost a little .

1k added in the last 3 days so at this rate it'll hit the 10k mark by the end of next week.

It's taken 2 months to reach 8k odd so little chance of it being discussed in Parliament but at least a response will be required, whatever that may entail...

Yesterday I cut stock IM and tried to fit plates where the TB (these are being already machined) will be bolted and flange where velocity stacks together with plenum will be bolted.

Some minor porting will be needed to open the intake to 45mm and match the gasket between IM and head

I'm sure you'll bond with the GT given time, the build quality is better than a Coupé, good heating and a/c system, things to watch out for are drivers door window switch as they get wet with the window open if it's rainin, you probably know already is mega money to replace if it has an issue, corrosion to the rear sills as that areas has a foam block in a bag so they're prone to holding water and rotting from the inside, roof arieal seals leak.

I was thinking of buying a Ferrari 550 in red or drug baron yellow.

Then I saw that owners club membership was £160.00

I think that I'll plan to buy some coupe bonnet struts instead.

Friendly little show in North Yorkshire, near Middlesbrough.

Wide range of cars and bikes, autojumble.

Close to the town , you can wander off and shop or eat.

It's off-topic a bit but for sheer class it's worth watching his other stuff. Take a look at the amount of subscribers....

I have gone for the Flex cover with Footman - covers the Coupe and my main car (Mazda 3 sport nav - worth around 7K). 10K agreed value on the coupe, unlimited mileage/year (its only done 62K), RAC cover for both with homestart, £605 (combined).
