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 (...

Funny you should mention this Jim, becoz i have had my turbo tuned by Richmod himself so it is a custom job so I call him now and again for advice. 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...

Either way its gonna cost about £500 to buy all the lights but the biggest decision is the...

I did it both, a set of brand new and most expensive cossie injectors and the Rich Mod, loads of power but when you stick your foot down lots of petrol used, never mind, your only young once.

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.
