Thanx. The Abarth is looking OK at bad pictures, but as it have been a racecar all its life, so its a little rugh around the edges. But its a nice little car :)

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

What engine is it ?

Rusty by nature

I'm guessig the 1st is an autobanchi engine, and the 2nd is a fiat 1.1 1.2 fire.

No1 is a 1050 cc Autobianchi Abarth engine with a 8-port head, KMS ignition, triger kit, Kehin carbs, fully worked bottom end etc. It was about 110 bananas

No2 is a 1242 FIRE running 306 deg cam, Mikuni carbs (not on the pic) and The same KMS ignition (or I swap this for a SC Typhoon with R1 tb's). Hoping for 115 bananas :)

Soo, I got hold of a DTA ECU for my Abarth, so thinking about fitting the KMS ignition to BIR1.
What is the best option to mount the pick-up?? I like the MED setup, but think it is a bit pricy...

The MED setup is great, with a brand new balanced damper with a trigger wheel that doesn't slip. The next one you'd buy will be MED

Engine goes in :)

Head is on and torqued down with 65 lbs. I think it is scary to torque down cylinder heads Exhaust, carbs, starter and som other small bits are in place






Its 2 x 1,25" SU on an old Speedwell inntake with Speedwell pipes for now. I have to put the car throu MOT before I can put all the turbostuff on

Looks good. Is your oil filter stub just taped over or are you doing something else?

Its just tape :) I wish I had a very good plan on that area, but I stick with the standard oil filter housing and oil cooler

Looks good, love the trunpets.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I am a little confused about cooling. As there is some brace bars where the standard water radiator is located, Vegard was running (was he really running?? ) a Kawasaki in the front and a heater matrix, but I would like it a little more subtle. Any good ideas??



Ohh, I and I want to get rid of the 250 kg front end and innstall the carbon front end I have. So everything needs to get in a standard lenght front :)

I am a little split in the decision of running alu or steel rocker cover. What do you guys think??

www.shag.no

I vote steel stick some tubes in it for breathing

Steel, looks nice and period.

I say steel aswell mate.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Steel mate :)

Steel it will be then :) I think I need to paint the head green at some point also....

It slowly moves ahed. The carbon front are fixed with 4 Dzus'es and 2 bonnet pins. The carbonbumper are fixed with some homemade brackets






New tow strop are mounted




Back on the wheels. I think I need to fit a set of arches




The red steering wheel are swithced for a Mota-Lita. Anyone wants the old 30-wheel??
