Milo Gone .. Lancia on the go ... Yellow 128 going.








Well ... i've been pretty busy once again with the cars ... Milo (the black 128) has since been sold, and i now see it driving all over the shore frequently. Dads 128 (the yellow one) is all up and running again .. reset the timing, and hes had it out for a practice day at pukekohe. It turns out that the engine in that is a real snarler. It seems to have plenty of go, and sounds fantastic. I need to make some adjustments to the front suspension, but that car really seems to go well.

I've now made some progress with the Lancia also .. found a guy who lives close by called Tom who has an immaculate Mk II delta HF turbo, and even more nuts about it than myself. I went for a ride in it .. really sweet little machine. He's sold me a few bits and pieces for mine. So to add to the upgrade list, the Lancia now has an Autosport drivers race seat, a Momo steering wheel, a custom cold air box, a manual boost controller, and a few other bits and pieces. I have purchased a set of white Advanti Racing Hart CP035 15X6.5" racing wheels for it which look amazing, i just have to get some race rubber and redrill them to suit before they will be put on the car. Also, a mark II front bumper which is alot more like the Integrale bumper. This didn't fit straight away, so i have cut and added an alloy plate into it, resprayed it, and cut the notches etc to fit it to the car. I think it looks fantastic - and gives me room for the larger intercooler i have to mount in front. Heres some pics of the bits and pieces anyhow ..
