The beginning of my project LE1426

Couldn´t post this in project page, if an admin could change it to project folder, I would apreciate it. Thanks

I´ve had my coupe for a month and a few days now, he is in desperate need of TLC. This is what I got him so far, some of the parts are already assembled, some are still going to be assembled. Any sugestions are always welcome (Styling can´t be to everyone´s taste, so... it will only have to suit it´s owner...me ) The spoilers are still in the paint shop and they are, "boot included" Cadamuro designs. Here´s some pictures.

new carpets

Extra exaust header to port and get ceramic coated

Ported intake manifold to get ceramic coated and thermal gasket

higher flow injectors

New Aluminium Intercooler

New BOV and new spark plugs.

New Silicone water hose kit

Maintenance parts, a lot are not in the picture

smoked side signal lights

New abarth rim centers and new "shoes".

Toyo (only size in my car title...had to downsize so I could pass MOT).

70mm staineless dual muffler exaust.

Walbro hi flow fuel pump

new bonnet hidraulic struts.

Aluminium boot and cadamuro adjustable spoiler (in paintshop at the moment)

Cadamuro roofspoiler

More to come!!!

Looks like your settling in a long rolling project.

Your car will certainly look different after the rear spoilers are added!

And after all of the work your planning.

Looks good. Where did you get the carpet mats from?

Who made the aluminium boot?

Oooo, I do like shiney parts, best of luck with your project Carlos. I always take my hat off to anybody who seriously works on these cars. I dabble, but anything major gets shipped out.

I bought it from a friend tha buys fiat coupes and sells parts, my exaust, spoilers and boot came in a track car he bought.

The mats are ordered by a friend that buys them in italy and sells them here in Portugal.

nice apart from roof/boot spoiler...just no.

Each to their own...good luck.

Plenty of work to do, with plenty of parts to fit. Great project. Good to see.

More to come

Not perhaps to everyone's taste, but go for it!

Are the new lights ec approved?

I know it's not for everybody's taste
No, they have no EU homologation... Not for MOT aproval, have to change them for stock ones when going for MOT.

Carlos those taillights look very interesting.

Looking forward to see what they actually look like on your Coop!

Has soon as I get them, and get them mounted I'll post pictures. I'll give the contact of the maker. He makes for several cars.

That is not my car, but same taillights

Finally the lights are in place. Tomorrow is going to get lowered

Looking good Carlos, what springs and shocks are you planning on using?

For now, stock shocks and novitec rear springs. The rear springs are already fitted and the car is leveled, just as I wanted it. Don't know if I'm going to assemble the novitec front ones.

Carlos, in this picture, the front hub/axle has a lot more metal around the point where the track rod end bolts in, is this a custom modification or a special thing for those awful Portugese roads? (Actually I'm sure the roads are fine, but I know that in Argentina and Venezuela they had different shock absorbers)

The roads are not fine lol, they seem the Somme after the battle in some points, but if it is custom made It wasn´t me, it already came this way, and didn´t even noticed it, until you pointed it out.

I'm rather amazed (and envious) of the fact that there is no sign of rust anywhere in this pic

Here in Portugal don't use salt on the roads, we don't have ice or snow problems, that is the main reason of having no rust (that and most of the parts beeing replaced lol).

After a while without updates, the Project continues:
MAF delete...MAP Based tune. (by Oracle Performance)

Widget and AVCR boost controler.



EGT and AFR display multigauge (AFR also displays on celphone app)

To come next few weeks:

Hybrid turbo 62 trim from Midlands Car Servicing (Get well JBT) and new tune...

Painted and ready to go to place.

One of the turbo compressor blades looks to have some "gunk" (unknown material) on it?

Was about to comment the same-it stands out in the picture.

I hope its not a damaged blade.

Regards

Nice to see one getting some love.
Whats up with JBT?

Nop, just ink in one of the blades, probably a part of the calibration process.

Don't really know what is wrong with JBT. Just that he had to stay in the hospital, don't even know if he is still there or not.

I'm not one for body kits myself, but if you're going to have a rear wing, that one looks nicely finished. Good looking car! Well done.
