Hi all. Been lurking on here for about a year and now the build is finished I thought it's about time to introduce myself and my car! I'll try add more details and pics when I get the chance, but for now here's a quick overview:
I'm KJ, owner of the Fiat/Lancia specialist tuning business Voodoo Tuning. My previous car was a fiat Coupe 16V Turbo, built and tuned by me to 430 bhp / 400 lbft - the most powerful Coupe 16VT in the UK for a while.
Last year the Coupe finally succumbed to rust cancer. I'd heard the engine would bolt in to the GTV, both cars being based on the Tipo floorpan. So I decided to re-shell the engine in a GTV. Well the engine did bolt in - but that was about it! Literally everything else had to be modified: fuel system, drivetrain, suspension, even the cooling fans. Cue non-stop 6 month build; a good friend of mine working on the fabrication, and myself working on the wiring and engine.
I'll try add more details and pics when I get the chance, but for now here are a few:
BTW, can you think of a good designation for this car? GTV16T? GTV 16VT? ...?
