IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

stevo My life on the forum Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 1,513 Banbury	Yeah I always wanted a cosworth. Nearly brought a 3 door in black with rs500 from bumper and compromotive mo's etc a year ago... Ended up buying a house instead. But looking at cosworth prices I think I would have made about 5 grand on it if I had got it. Still the house has gone up in value more I suppose. 362bhp of warble

H_R My life on the forum Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 1,650 Dark side of the Moon	Yeah the 3 door variant is where the money is and especially if you can get your hands on an rs 500 version for a good price It's amazing how cheap it is to have a nice well tuned fiat coupe! When I was in to the RS and xr shows etc. it was costing 70 odd grand on top of the cost of the car to have a well sorted cosworth, well that's the sort of prices that we're being claimed in the early 90's at the shows In the good old days when my insurance for an xr4x4 was £1400 3rd pft ouch and everyone else seemed to be driving around in stolen astra's or nova's lol
