This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is Fiat Coupe, written , and concerning Uncategorized

So, I put down the deposit on a Fiat Coupe 2.0 20V Turbo in Broom Yellow. It's really, really. cool. Should be picking it up in a fortnight or so. It's also a space rocket. Acceleration, jeez. I thought it was going to rip off my face at one point -- tickle the accelerator slightly and it's doing eighty. Oof. It's lovely; black leather seats, Pininfarina styling, 0-60 in 6.0s, etc etc. Pictures when I get it and a digital camera in the same place. You may take the smug "my car is faster than yours" look as read. Can't wait!

Well done; you now appear to own a very fast banana. ;)

lynne

does it fit a car seat!

Paul

not bad a price, but what about the tractor i mean land rover?

sil

I have been informed that it may be called that because it’s actually “Broom-broom yellow“, what with it being a very fast car and all :)

Tom

Sounds like me on my bike, at least when the good people of Bedfordshire permit me to retain possession of the bike’s seat. Anyway, I’m sure I’ve never seen a yellow broom.

sil

Hell, no. Only cost me 8500UKP, which is not that much in the context of a car, let alone the cruise-missile-with-wheels that it is :)

paul

you won the lottery or something? :)

sil

Nope. The Land Rover Discovery (to be purchased in the next couple of weeks) will do that. My car will not ever be pulling a caravan!

Tom

But can it cope with the caravan?

Nick

I want one! I've been after one for ages. Is it really that good?

Rafael

My Coupe 20v Turbo is a wonderfoul car! As FIAT once said, about the coupé model: “” A Ferrari for the poor” :-) Though, when I drive my Coupé Turbo :o) , it attaches to the ground like glue. AWESOME CAR!

Dear Anyone,

I work for a Promotional Company and was approached by the local Fiat Coupe Owners Club. I need a good digital photograph of the 20V Turbo decal.

I aim to reproduce this decal for some garments the local club are putting together. Is there anyone out there who can help.

Regards, Graham

hi to all, i'm from italy, i have a 16v turbo coupè, and i am very very happy of my choice! the engine is better of the 20v turbo because it's the same of the delta integrale engine! it's much like but much like and easily upgradable with a little money.it has much torque at all range of funcionality because has the garret T3 instead of a garret t28 much little.tested 16v turbo with standard 195 hp : 0-60 mph = 6.7 / 6.8

xman

a consideration, 16v turbo and 20v turbo are both special and fantastic supercar! 20v better plastic and much new (sorry for my english) 16v turbo much potentially inside for create a monster engine with a poor money spent ;) and the sound of the integrale.

stephen strain

bought 20v coupe in may 2005 ,great car utill i had ago in 20v turbo awsome performance so i just had to have one so now proud owner of green p reg with dump valve sounds brill.

Gavin

Bought one in november, engine blew up and just got it back £2700 later, but i still love it. great cars 20v turbo, just want to drive it all the time

stephen strain

sorry to hear that , how did that happen and glad you are still in love with your 20v turbo.

irish joe

been reading all your comments about the coupe....very interesting...especially the integrale reference. can a standard 20v coupe really do 0-60 in 6sec?? on the whole how reliable are they? i had the mark 1 uno turbo and that stole my heart but it just was too troublsome. you guys rock!!

sil

Irish Joe: yep (well, a 20V turbo, not the standard 20V non-turbo can). Reliability is...not bad, but it's an Italian sports car. They're supposed to go wrong from time to time. When they asked Enzo Ferrari how his cars were made, he replied Con amore -- with love. That doesn't include reliability. If you want it to never break down, buy a Honda S2000 :-)

TypeR Andy

The Fiat Coupe 20v turbo is a vastly underrated car by the majority of people. It takes the smile of a BMW 330 owner when u fly past!

soecond point; why is the only person who's posted their pic up a ginger?

JR: because it's my site so it's got a picture for me. :)

Hi,

i had a broom yellow Coupe 16v...was a brilliant car and considering i was 21 when i had it, it was a car that everyone was impressed by...although fellow rugby mates nicknamed it the "cheese"..

i moved on to a 205 gti..love that to bit but wanted another coupe..so when looking a came across a Lancia Delta HPE HF Turbo!! its gorgeous...it has the same engine as a 16v Turbo coupe..so im sticking with italian but changing slightly...But without a doubt the Coupe is the best Sports car for the money

vlad

hey guys i've got a 20v t, and i've got it for 6000 euro, i'm in love with this car for just 5000 more i'm now the proud owner of a 400bhp beast...the only thing though is that i can't drive it daily, so i'm considering to decrease the power...after some racing i realised that no stock lambo or ferrari can keep up. i think it's the best investition i've ever made

Cole

What the hell has being Ginger got to do with any thing.

SIMS

I had a 20v Turbo, yes it can go from 0-60 in 5.9 sec, but make sure you hold on tight to the steering wheel when you wanna do so else it will get swing left & right uncontrollable since it is a front wheel drive.

scotty

Ive got a stunning red 20 vt Ive had it for 3 and a half years its for sale now...... n=any takers 2200 ono

Philippe Buvé

I have one 20V turbo... with very little work you can gain a lot more hp's ;-) replace the original injectors with bigger ones, put in a hi-flow airfilter and replace the original computer with a racing computer... no need tot put in a lot of monney to get a supersportscar faster than most porches :p *****

Tom

Hi, im a proud owner of a bright blue 20vt and was wondering whether or not I can fit a normal dump valve to it for silly "whoosh" noises on gearchange! The original is re circulating and i'm not sure if it will affect the performance.

P.s Is anyone else chewing through front tires at an alarming rate :)

Andy Patrick

Hi I have a Broom Yellow 16V 2L Coupe 1995 with 90K miles for sale, I spent £800 to get it through the MOT (all new parts) and I am looking to sell. Black leather interior 4months tax 12 months test. Lovely condition £2200 - andypa38@hotmail.com Regards Andy

scotty

Hello Tom, Coupes distroy tyres I've read that fronts should last 9000 miles but thats just not the case 4 or 5000 is about the norm watch your tyre pressures and have the tracking looked at every time you buy new rubber....... scotty.

scottfarrar@hotmail.co.uk

Philippe Buvé

tom, i have an aftermarket blow-off valve installed on my coupé, it doesn't affect the performances, it just sounds cool :-)

Princey

Does anyone know why my coupes misfires and loses performance every now and then. It dont happen at specific times just randomily when im driving. Injection warning light comes on and turns off when this occurs. Its a beutiful car... in(Broom yellow) and i really wanna keep it but i really wanna find the problem because i want to fix it to sell it. (Can't afford to run it as im now a student...again). Will deffo buy another after finishing studies. If anyone knows email dj_princey1@hotmail.co.uk. Thanks

Mark

Mate

Misfires occur for many reasons..some serious,some not.I Would have somebady take a wee look at it though,Could be injection problem---thats not so good--could be sticky plugs.

Mark

I've sold my coupe, the love affair is over :-( I'll never love another quite as much..... scotty

PS DUMP VALVE WAS OFF A MR2TURBO

DANNY

I HAVE A FIAT COUPE 16V TURBO IN BROOM YELLOW;), JUST GONE BACK UNDER ITS MONTHS WARRANTY TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE. THE OLD ONE LOST OIL PRESSURE AND DESTROYED IT:(

IT ONLY HAD 79K ON IT. IS THERE ANY REASON THEY CAN JUST LOSE PRESSURE LIKE THAT?

THE CAR IS IN MINT CONDITION BUT REALLY DONT WANNA SELL IT. HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT THE RECONDITIONED WORKING ENGINE THEY ARE PUTTING IN IT NOW WILL DO THE SAME THING AS MY OLD ONE? ...BECAUSE I WONT HAVE WARRANTY TO COVER ME THIS TIME.

CANT AFFORD TO TAKE THE RISK, BUT IF ITS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM ILL BE MORE INCLINED TO KEEP IT:D

Martin

usually if they loose oil pressure it if because the oil radiator pipes rust through and spray oil everywhere. It a fairly common fault as the pipes site in the undertray and it gets ful of crap. Google for Fiat Coupe Forum where there is lots of advice on these wonderful cars

ALAN FIRTH

I HAVE A YR 2000 FIAT COUPE TURBO 5 CYL ABARTH IN METTALLIC BLUE

THE GEARSTICK IS VERY STIFF IN THE SIDEWAY DIRECTION ONLY AND IT DOESNT SELF CENTRE

ANY IDEAS FOR EASY LUBRICATION TO RECTIFY??

David Biagi

Hi Alan,

I bought a 1998 Red 20v Turbo in Nov. 2006 and fell in love with the car. The gear lever was stiff and felt as if the gate was at an angle but I was prepared to put up with it. When a front brake pipe collapsed I asked the mechanic to check out the gear change and it turned out that a linkage pin had seized near the gearbox end under the battery tray. With this fixed the gear change feels sweet like a new car. My coupe has just hit 96000 miles and is still going strong and fast.

Regards, David Biagi

So, I put down the deposit on a Fiat Coupe 2.0 20V Turbo in Broom Yellow. It’s really, really. cool. Should be picking it up in a fortnight or so. It’s also a space rocket. Acceleration, jeez. I thought it was going to rip off my face at one point — tickle the accelerator slightly and it’s doing eighty. Oof. It’s lovely; black leather seats, Pininfarina styling, 0-60 in 6.0s, etc etc. Pictures when I get it and a digital camera in the same place. You may take the smug “my car is faster than yours” look as read. Can’t wait!
