Bravo 20vt Project (getting pic heavy)- On Track! - 07/12/2009 14:28
For the last 3 years ive been running my bravo HLX (on and off) as a second car for show purposes. i bought the car 5 years ago and put a lot of effect into cosmeticaly modifying the car. I was lucky enough to be in a position to be able to afford a 20vt coupe without selling my pride and joy but i always wanted to do a 20vt conversion and ive always wanted a track orientated car. So thanks to this forum and a few of its members (your assistance and advise will continue to be required troughout the duration ) ive combined the 2 elemements and started my project.
The Base:
Fiat Bravo HLX 1.8 1996 ink black
Mods:
abarth front bumper/ Laguna splitter
abarth skirts
custom p&a rear bumper
custom cat-back powerflow exhaust twin 5" tips
Fiat coupe 20vt alloys
-35mm pi springs
etech alloy spoiler
smoked side repeaters
colour coded delocked merea handles
merea poly headlights
prof tinted windows
tinted tail lights
custom rear brake light (glows 'abarth')
philips vision plus bulbs
lightbrows
full varad undercar neons
k&n 57i induction kit
chrome bonnet lifters
corbeau carrera bucket seats
corbeau sub frames
footwell neons
custom switches in centre column for all neons
abarth car mats
I aquired a 20vt as a donor vehicle earlier this year, the previous owner had already started breaking, but most the neccessary parts were still attached
The Plan:
20vt conversion including:
rear subframe including rear disc conversion
front subframe, wishbones, hubs
suspension,
running gear (drive shafts etc),
front brakes,
steering rack,
engine,
ecu,
fuel pump,
As mention the car will be track orientated, so i'm looking for a good balance of handling, braking, and power.
modified parts collected so far
(i'll update this bit as and when)
Power:
ported inlet manifold
3.8 bar FPR
port matched exhuast manifold
GT2560 turbo
FMIC
Greddy EBC
3in downpipe with 5 stud v-band
2.5in decat
custom midpipe
NGK 7 plugs
SIP
Apexi filter
Handling:
solid rear bushes
Polybushed wishbones
seam welded subframe
FK coilovers (20vt) with camber adj mod
HEL braided brake lines
Whiteline 24mm ARB
Front strut brace
Nigels lower brace
20vt brembos
Other:
VDO oil temp
VDO oil pressure
VDO volt meter
AFR
intake temp sensor
still to source:
DBA/3G disc
EBC yellow pads
adjustable fan controller
Possibly a roll cage!!
The project will be an ongoing one, with the suspension and brakes components first, then the engine will be re-built to spec at some point early next year before fitment. Wish me luck
