fjfr Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 My dad had a red one in the late '80s. Which he hated. He wrote it off after having it for 2 months - and vowed never to have a turbo or an Italian car ever again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insurance Jon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 a good workman always blames his tools. If it's good enough for Kankinnen it's good enough for anybody, but they do rust fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjfr Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think it was the FWD version. Someone pulled out on him in a national speed limit zone. He hated the turbo lag, and the build quality. I can't remember it tho Nice looking cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 [ QUOTE ] I think it was the FWD version. [/ QUOTE ] The "F" standing for front? If so,it was just a pants HF Turbo that did handle like crap. The Integrale was in a different league round corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v15ben Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This was one of the very last ones too, on an N plate - beautiful! I remember seeing one trying to race some superbikes through Bradford on a Sunday afternoon a long time ago when they were a current model! Loved em ever since!

rs32 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 shame they don't make cars like it anymore. mad turbo engine, nice styling, no modern safety structure/equipment to weigh it down, italian electrics !! pretty rare now too, LHD only I seem to remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v15ben Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 LHD only indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 You could get an RHD conversion, done by a company called Walkers I think. A mate of mine had an early 16V Integrale that was RHD, guess they used an HF Turbo dash, but it looked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v15ben Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yeh Walkers in Northallerton will do that but apparently the car isn't the same to drive with the steering on the wrong side to where the manufacturer intended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapsuds Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 simply stunning motor - a friend has one of these in Chester.
