I've started a new thread as I have have a new account on here but this car was on here before. Having owned this 126 BIS for a year I've decided to do something different with it and build a slalom type track car with it much in the style of this 127.  So here's the 126 as it sits now.    Currently has SPAX adj shocks and progressive springs on the rear and a reversed eye leaf with one leaf removed on the front. 7x13 ET -7 Revo copies with 175 50 13 tyres. Alfa GTV front seats and mountney steering wheel. obviously I has a way to go yet but the plan is. Front mounted radiator (hence the big hole cut out) See what power I can get out of the 700cc or fit the punto 75 engine I have in bits on the bench. It's just a car to have fun with. |

That's funny having just looked at 'Blacksaffs' time warp '91 126 then seeing this pumped up version straight after. Looking good.

The bis engine is still in, going to see what power I can get out of it first before I go for the engine swap.

Not much to report, sorting out the garage and measuring things up, but I did take a photo while it was out.  |

I have a friend who is building a Fiat 600 with a 500bhp Turbo Rotary engine in it. I thought he was as mad as a box of frogs - you would get on!
Great project.

Would an engine out of say a Skoda estelle be any sort of upgrade with more tuning potential than the 700cc bus engine?

The arches are Mini Miglia types  so may require modding a little to make them fit nice. |
