Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo Part 3

Fiat Coupe
I've had the car now for a number of weeks and I can tell you that it's been a sheer pleasure to drive. There have been a number of faults which have been efficiently and quickly put right by Power Italia Basildon, and the car now seems to be in perfect working order.
 
The coupe was booked in for a full service 15 August for the usual oil, filters and spark plug change with all fluids checked and topped up. The oil cooler pipes were found to be extremely corroded and in a dangerous condition and were immediately replaced with a reconditioned set at a cost of £160.00. Further faults were discovered, such as offside front Brembo calliper locked and binding, the driver side track rod end worn, a leaky driveshaft seal and a hairline crack on the 5th branch of the exhaust manifold, which proved to be the biggest expense.
 
I decided that while Power Italia had the car I would replace the already worn exhaust with a Pipecraft custom built stainless steel version to further improve on that growl.
 
The car now drives better than ever and seems slightly more responsive and of course now has that glorious grunt!
