    fiat v S2. what would you do?

    Stupid title for a post ?

    think again!!


    The wife just bought a new run-around motor which leaves us with an old (2000) fiat bravo hatchback in need of a thrust bearing (and overdue a cambelt). Now I may get a £100 in scrap if im lucky but this is a good litttle motor, that drives very well, seems a shame to send it to the crusher.

    Anyhow, as this is the 20v non-turbo version, a bit of reaserch has enlightend me to the fact that the 20v turbo Coupe engine is a "drop in" option ( and chipped they can do 280+hp - interesting in a FWD hatch) !

    So dilema!

    Do I spend cash on an old Fiat which may turn out to be very, very quick. or spend it on S2 parts?


    Personally I would rather spend the time and effort and money on the Audi. But................tempting ....................

    Oh-deary me.... Fancy asking that here.... Invest in the S2 and keep it for life, you'll have a car that'll turn heads, be strong and deliver 4WD performance for years to come...

    The Flat Brovil however will be...

      It comes down to how cheap you can get a turbo motor for

        What's wrong with asking that here?

        Im guessing most people here are "car" people and like something different from norm.

        Interesting little project to sell on, and perhaps make a profit.


        No intention of ignoring/getting rid/etc of the Avant.
