Can you add me to the list please

Sorry don't know the car, it is surprising given the ratity of these cars how many are not known on this site. Posts like yours are quite common but seldom get a reponse, I didn't with mine and it's got a club badge on the windscreen. If you look at the 'spotting' thread it's depressingly similar.
I guess people who have had them move perhaps as result of a bad experience and don't want to look back, that said it's amazing how many of us keep coming back, they're a bit addictive!

I have OSRAV shock absorbers with Eibach springs

Cost is about £1000

Hi all, I have a 1998 20vt, which has now very tired suspensions which i'd like to replace with something more sportier,but at the same time, i like comfort.

Ideally i would like something that falls in the category of "fast road use" car, which I'm always a huge fan of.

Any suggestion on what would be the best option? i don't mind spending a bit more for quality

Price: £7,000
Engine and model: 2.0 20v Turbo Plus
Mileage: 133,000
Body colour: Moon Grey
Interior colour and material: Recaro leather black with red stitching
Manufactured in: 2000
MOT: 2 May 2025

Good overall condition with no dents and very few chips on the bodywork but there is some light micro bubbling on some panels that presumably are due to some previous paintwork. The wheels have been refurbished before I bought with no corrosion or damage. The correct spare wheel, jack etc are in the boot which is also in good order. Three keys including the red master key together with the original service book and invoices for other work in more recent years - before I bought it a new clutch, rear brake callipers had been fitted.

I’ve done some work on it myself including installing a new thermostat, a/c condenser and dryer, lambda sensor, washer pump and rear springs and shocks (standard not lowered) - I have original digital receipts for all parts. I also replaced the slam panel which I had powder coated. I’ve got a set of front Brembo calipers that I refurbed along with new Brembo drilled discs….if I don’t get around to it I’d include with the car. Existing calibers are fine but would look better if recoated. Currently has issue with not starting when car is hot i.e. after using the car then stopping and restarting…after few mins it is fine. I have fitted a new crank sensor but not solved.

Recently serviced myself - oil, oil filter, sparks and pollen filter. I replaced the air filter to a K&N performance one (standard not cone) a while back.

Very nice midnight blue 20v at Calne Car show outside the motor museum. Unusual pale seats.

Ah was going to try again this year with the black LE but think rain has stopped play for me this year. Did get to Joe’s at FCSS to sort what is now a lovely coupe that needs a tune from Leighton.
If you go have a great time!!

I've managed to sit down and watch it properly now.

On the TV, its much easier to appreciate the filming.

However, I do agree there's a bit too much camera messing about.

It's Raby Castle Italian car show next Sunday, 21st July.

With the torrential rain at Newby and the mud bath at Thirlstane, I'm very concerned that the weather will be extremely dry and hot.

I will be wearing my racing flip flops and thong.

You made me do it Alan !

Anyone else going, what about you Phil ?

Hi all,
Recently got back from our 2nd trip to the ring. Car was even better than last year, which was due to the fleamap and also some geometry tweaks.

Something I did do beforehand was use a product called Berryman B12 to see if it would free up oil control rings, as normal street driving wouldn’t use any oil but track driving was typically burning a litre of oil, closer to 2 litres at the ring!

NB , if you use this product you must change the oil afterwards as it is a really aggressive solvent that will compromise the old oil !

Anyway used the product and can confirm for my engine at least it now burns pretty much nothing

Back to the track, we did another lap with Misha that will be on his channel soon. He really enjoyed the changes, albeit he prefers a harder suspension set up, but for us the car was more useable with the settings so happy days

Cheers Jamie

This year Festival Italia will take place on Sunday 11th August at Brands Hatch, Kent.

https://www.festivalitalia.com/

Once more the club has been allocated the 20 display spaces we requested.Festival Italia

The booking procedure is different this year.

The club has this specific link which members have to use to become part of our display.

https://displaymyvehicle.msv.com/ca...oup=54476b58-6167-41e1-bea1-5ddbf1b6dfae

If you book using one of the general public links it will ask you to input a 4 digit code which is specific to this club. The code is 9927.

MSV, the organisers, have brought in a completely new booking system this year and they warn that previous accounts registered will almost certainly not work, so applicants will need to re-register both themselves and their cars.

As before they will email when an application has been accepted and ask for the money which is £12.50 and includes display car and driver and one display lap at the end of the afternoon.

I have gone through the process making my booking and it worked fine for me.

So far we have 5 spaces taken:

1. PeteP confirmed and paid.
2. Ali_and_Marvin Confirmed and paid
3. Cooperman confirmed and paid
4. Gigli confirmed and paid
5. Mark Morrison , approved but not yet paid.

We have now opened up space on the stand to all owners of Fiat Coupes who wish to display their cars.

The display pass costs £12.50 and comprises 1 x Vehicle Display Pass, 1 x Driver Admission Ticket - RRP £25.00 and 1 x Free Parade Lap (subject to event schedule on day).

The deadline for applications is 11 pm on 28th July 2024.

As usual please add your name to the list when you apply so we can see how it is going.

they do it in wine red which i will definitely get to match my actual car.

i have been looking for a couple of years for decent models and now two companies have come at once with offerings! what is the saying... something about waiting for buses then two come at once
