RobSheffield Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Mate of mine had a 2.0 16v, engine failed 3 times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikes Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Even the 20v non turbo sounds nice, nice looking cars but Fiats dont last long, who won the blast then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Fix It Again Tw*t Actually, I really liked my Alfa GTV, and that's not so different (just a lot slower..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 My M.D. has the 20v turbo version in yellow. If you're a member of the FCCC, or whatever it is, his user name is yellafella. His is a very good example of a rare marque. Not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 My mate had a 16 V turbo coupe, he had to fix it several times in 2 years.......mostly to do with the engine. Nice looking cars tho, just problems problems problems. Im a strong believer its luck of the draw with cars tho!. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elder81 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yer mine has been perfect! Any problems have been caused by mods! i.e. Superchip = new clutch, De-Cat = New Turbo I know of Yella Fella as he posts a lot on the http://www.fccuk.org/forum site. I am elder81 there to!

juanchan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I see from fccuk that you're from Bourne End. Completely irrelevant, but my ex lives/d there. Welcome to the club though! One of my mates has recently acquired a 20v T Coupe. He hasn't had too many issues with it so far, but he did his research and looked at loads before buying I think. He is proud of his 1000 mpl though. Needs at least 1 litre of oil every 1k miles apparantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 engine out job for a cam belt isn't it. Always had a soft spot for Fiats. My bro had a Uno Turbo that sounded great, my mum&dad had Tipos for ages and they sounded great but the coupe was the daddy at the time. Coach built and stunning looks. What was that grey one with the push button start?? remember that coming later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 had a go in a 20v turbo from a local specialist dealer round here i was like where's the fookin power! but welcome to the club buddy i prefer Alfa GTV's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I used to have a Fiat Coupe 20VT was on fccuk too, obviously mine was in the best colour - sprint blue. Only had had the normal issues with mine, manifold, wishbones... ohh and a clutch which was expensive! Timing belt isn't an engine out job anymore, places like powerfiat can do it for around £400 IIRC which aint too bad. It was the plus models which had the starter button and a few extras.

Chris Wilson Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well I like them Not as nice as a Lancia Gamma Coupe, but in their day they got rave reviews for their presence, discretion and style. A favourite of the more refined Mafia types, by all accounts. Nicer pics at: http://www.channel4.com/4car/gl/gallery/gallery/464/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
