Welcome to the club!

Ello mate, welcome to the club, I used to have a Fiat Uno turbo mrk 2 too. To say they are similar in performance would be a lie, even with my 480 turbo pushing 225bhp it was not even close to my Fiat Uno turbo pushing 144bhp. However, they are are very good motor and really love both cars equally (...

Our opening sentance was "Hi Richard, sorry to disturb you but got another problem, oh these cars keepping our weekend busy hey" to which he replied "th...

The first 480 turbo was called "The Beast" becoz of the exhaust roar and genaral aura of the car, then it died and the new 480 Turbo had the same exhausted fitted and people still call it "The Beast" and i can't really disagree with them. Sham.

FOR SALE - my highly tuned and much loved 480 Turbo.

I really don't wanna sell it but the temptation to not stick my foot down is too much and don't wanna end up like my Fiat Uno turbo. Also if there is another fan out there like me then the finished touches could be done and it would be a mint motor!!! Good points: Very fast Low mileage 92 Miles Bran...

Yeah i got it done a few years ago when metal was a bit cheaper and got it for £260, but now it would be more definatly, becoz recently i got a 3 and a half inch bore on a single pipe for my Fiat Uno turbo which was alot shorter and that cost me £220. If you look under general discussions and ...
