My Ritmo Abarth
Posted: June 28th, 2006, 7:08 am
Got something to do against the superiority of the RWDs in this gallery and present my ‚´85 Ritmo Abarth.
(klick on pic to enlarge)
Thats it from the front:
and from the rear:
I like clean cars, so I removed every plastic, spoiler, lights and rear wiper which I can abandon.
Car is fitted with height-adjustable suspension in front (Koni) and monoleaf spring in rear. Some mount points of the front axle are converted to PU or unibal.
Wheels are BBS RS 3-piece 7+8x15 with 195/45, disk brake at the rear.
Engine is 2L with balanced crankshaft/flywheel, lightened/balanced rods and dome pistons. At this moment I‚´m runnig the car with stock head and 45DCOE (for some reason who really don‚´t care), but this situation needs to be changed asap (Air cleaner is not at latest stage):
Funny thing is that I made my own adaptor plates for the 45s, then I got the Workshop Manual and saw that they are stock parts at GC....
A head is already prepared to be used with the Alquati cams I mentioned at another thread:
Best regards from Germany

Edit:
Oh - forgot my other car which is -believe it or not- my daily driver in summer (ok, I hate to drive it when it rains):
Its a ‚´73 Fiat 127. I‚´m the second owner. No body works neede until now, the shell seems to be 98% rust free
Engine A112 Abarth with 5-Speed, height-adjustable front suspension (Koni) with mono-leaf spring rear. Wheels BBS E30 3-pc 7+8x13 with 175/50.
A lot of fun at the city, terrible at the highway.
