spec sheet is too long to list, but I picked this up today. the 230 mile trip home was interesting

 

is that an ex-works car modded for the road? Or jus a high spec roadcar?

 

Its an extremely high spec road car, it was imported from new and the first thing done to it was the RHD conversion. I'm now the 3rd proud owner . The guy I bought it off was going to do the finishing touches to make it a full rally car, but decided he'd lost interest & went down the M3 route. Its about 260 BHP but weighs nothing

 

 

That is fookin gorgeous I bet you are over the moon!!!!

 

Awesome, just awesome

 

lovin it

 

So you read and absorbed that thread about 'Grales being money pits best avoided then

 

It looks great mate!

 

How jealous!!!

I'm going for an EVO myself but that looks lovely.

I read it has no dump valve. When you get it any chance of uploading what it sounds like?

congrats

 

 

 

Graham Walkers right-hand-drive conversion...? *sharp intake of breath*

 

maybe, but the one I have was done by John Whalley LTD when it was first brought into the uk when new

 

Stunning

Always wanted one of these, only put off by the fact that I didn't want a left hooker and RHD conversions were very rare.

So what's the horror story with Graham Walkers then?

Chris

 

That looks amazing!

 

hey - think I saw you coming up the m1 on saturday, around 5ish

quality

 

Looks fantastic, I had a HF Delta Martini and an EVO1, both money pits

Great to drive, I heard the RHD conversion used a strada steering lack which totally looses all the feel of the Delta's LHD. The LHD one I had was the most 'connected' car I have ever driven. Enjoy...

 

Without wishing to hijack, was your EVO1 very costly to run?

I'm itching to get an EVO1 but I might bottle it and get another Impreza

 

Dunno about the EVO 1 and the "money Pit" but I plan to use this as a fair weather toy only, but I'm only getting about 10 mpg , but it has quite a big spec for such a small old car;

Current spec includes:
Bodywork
1991 Martini Works paintwork as per the Kankkunen-Pironen car which won the RAC rally that year (along with the manufacturers and drivers championship, Lancias 5th year in row). It is all paint! no vinyl other than logos.
Evo rear spoiler with high lift brackets.
Sparco mudflaps

Engine/fuel/drivetrain
Engine was stripped and rebuilt 7000 miles ago by the previous owner. New shells were fitted along with Spresso group N head gasket and Group A head bolts. Run with Selenia Racing 10w60 since the rebuild.
Evo Engineering chip.
K&N cone filter
Magnecore HT leads
50 litre ATL racing fuel cell plus swirl pot and Facet pump conversion (firewall housing constructed around it for MOT).
Supersprint twin exit rear silencer
OMP centre exhaust section (straight through pipe, removes centre silencer)
Turbo is standard
Samco intercooler hoses
No dump valve (sounds like a proper works Integrale!)
Auto Integrale uprated clutch (2000 miles old)
Standard 16v transmission with the preferred rear bias torque split of 47%f/53%r (8v = 56%f/44%r).

Interior

Momo Corse Acropolis VTR seats.
Sabelt 4 point harnesses.
Short Shift kit
OMP dished rally steering wheel

Rear brakes standard
Goodridge braided brake hoses all round
ABS removed (very heavy!)
New brake pipes installed inside the car with Tilton rear brake bias lever fitted
Motul RBF600 fluid .

Suspension/Wheels
Leda emulsified gas adjustable coilovers (tarmac spec)
Rose-jointed front top mounts, standard rear mounts
OMP front strut brace.
OMP rear upper strut brace.
OMP rear lower brace
Rear Diff cradle
Speedline Montecarlo Magnesium alloys as per the original works cars (although slightly narrower 16x6.5in) currently on 195/50R16 Yoko A048's
OMP wheel spacers and stud conversion to give Evo width track.

 

Used to have a rare HF 4wd then a metallic black Integrale 8v with black leather interior. One of my fave cars of all time ... beautiful to drive ... deep respect is due. Jealous.

 

Stunning mate..... love these beasts.....

What an example!

 

I am very jealous. always wanted one but the cons have always seemed to outway the pros.

Hope it treats you well mate.

 

Thats exactly how I feel, Id love to own one but im just not brave enough.
I remember going to one of the Scooby Big One meets a few years ago, there were hundreds of Scooby's quite a few Evo's but the car that was getting the most attention was a single Integrale parked on its own ....fantastic cars and that one looks to be amazing.

 

Stunning!

 

Fantastic car

Very very

 

if you look up car **** im pretty sure that your new motor will be there.
Simply stunning mate

 

<<I read it has no dump valve>>

Grale's don't use dump valves - instead they have a recirc valve which recycles the wasted charge back into the turbo. Pioneered by Ferrari GP cars in the turbo era. Clever, eh?

Rob (Evo1 owner)

 

If anyone is after an Evo 1, a mate is selling an L reg red one on the Bath area for about £3k.
It needs about £1-2k spending on it to get it really mint.

PM me if interestes.
