Those looks like Schnitzer replicas....and are SOOOOOO wrong on that car.
IMHO a "rally" car needs rally style wheels...

Other than that, it's a lovely car!

Question

How come I see some Grale's with single exit pipes and some with twin pipes at the back?

Whats the difference?

Also, I agree with the above wheels statement. The wheels do look good but don't look right to me on a rally car.

Thanks mkyboy.

Fair comments....I got bored of all the Intergrales with the same wheels and so went for one with something a bit out of the ordinary.....I love em!!

Oh and by the way.....they are AC Schnitzer wheels...originals, not replicas!

Integrale 8 & 16 valves have twin exit exhausts as standard and evos have a single pipe that exits on the near side

How come the wheels are 5 stud? Did you have to put evo hubs on

Never thought about doing that to mine I love the evo wheels so I guess I could do that. You had yours long?

To be honest mate, I am led to believe that the hubs were changed to 5 stud before the EVO came on the scene and so the running gear has been adapted from a BMW (hence the AC Schnitzers!!) Like I said, I didn't do it so I don't know exactly what has been changed and what hasn't (haven't had the time to check it all out). I have a bit more time (& cash ) now so its getting a bit more use and attention.

Between me and my brother we have had it for about 5 years. (He moved on to a scoob )

How long you had yours?

Thanks Bruv for putting the piccies up , about the wheels , they're 18's from an 850 Bmw , the whole running gear was changed to accomodate & due to there being less than 10mm clearance from the arches we had too fit Bilstein Platform shocks that have firmed it up big time ( i.e no movement at all ) The exhaust is a straight through Supersprint Stainless jobbie & it actually came as a one piece system all the way from the downpipe back.
About the wheels being wrong , thats fair enough , It's purely a personal thing but I've gone the show car route on this & left the rallying bit too my Scoob , you've gotta remember the little Italian is getting on for 15 years old!!!

OMFG the Grallllllllleeeeee, is she out to play for the summer ? come pick me up.

Ladies & Gents, this car is a little beastie, it corners like nothing i have ever been in before, the ride is so hard its doesnt tilt a mm, , I reckon this could take a scoob on the twisties !! and i have been in both.

Who didnt like the wheels ? are you for real !! Jesus man, get your eyes sorted, so you think it would look the same with some 16" gold ally's eh!! lmfao, ooookaaaay.

Most appreciated up close n personal this motor.

Good stuff chaps.

Cheers for the remarks guys , indeed it does handle well IPSKI , just as long as the surface is racing track smooth , it's obviously been too long since our last outing on normal roads in it , thats Italian unreliability for ya , but now its running sweet , Game On !!!!
