Kramer , yes there is , www.evocars.com has a small forum section!
If you go to www.geocities.com & do a search for 'EVOCORNER'there is loads og Grale stuff there. There is also a much larger forum at the delphiforums , you might have to sign up for this one , think I did , anyway the search once in , is Evoforum.
Hope this is of some help , just intersted in Grale's or do you own one?

Cheers Hotpants!! LOL love that username!
I had an old 8v Integrale a few years ago and it was a great car..
I'm looking for a new car at the moment and have always fancied another one..An EVO 2 this time.
Just had a insurance quote for one and I can't believe how cheap it was!!

So yes looks like I'm gonna go Italian !
Thanks for the info

David - how cheap is cheap for the insurance????

Simon (long time Integrale fan).

Kramer

Well I'm a bit of an old git Simon..Is 33 old?? Yes I here you say!
But it was only £377. Limited to 5000 miles a year..I think that takes some beating!

Ooh Top Marques is out today ! Gimme gimme

I have an Intergale 16v tucked away in the garage , 16v with loads of mods , but sadly it was & still is so tempramental , in other words it's a B***H , BUT I love it......Work that out!!!
As for insurance , I went for a limited mileage policy at Firebond (deal with classics & the Grale conforms to this)

simon_prickett

Hmmm, interesting (29, full no claims, no accidents since forever, had 2 cars over 220BHP before - Fiat Coupe 20v turbo and Scooby)...

Also we have a Fiat specialist in the family, so it's an option...

Simon.

Hotpants

You'll need more than a Fiat specialist , you'll need an Italian speaking Genie whose up for granting a thousand wishes.
If you find/know of one . lets have a couple of wishes of him.....

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh :-) the graleeeeeeeeee, wets pants with excitement. That car is the nuts, been in it, most fun in a car, apart from the norwich incident hotpants !!! lmao. did you ever get the FM handle fixed in the back ??? err wasnt my fault.

simon_prickett

Hotpants - I think you're right, although the 16v engine is the same as the one in the Fiat Coupe 16v turbo.

Simon.

Hotpants

The beast is due for an outing soon , possibly the bhp club meet on the A127 in October , just gotta get her running right , too many flames from exhaust at present!! lmao
The FM handle was already snapped off from a passenger holding on during the 4 wheel drift incident on the M25 / M11 sliproad going North. I still claim I had it fully under control.

Hotpants

Simon , not having seen the engine bay on the Fiat I couldn't say , but just beware , the cars are pukka , BUT they do break easy & need loads of TLC. In fact I remember getting all this advice before I got one , ignore it I did & I now have a love hate relationship with one!!!!!!
Get a Scoob if your gonna use it everyday. If not get a grale to play at weekends with & a 1 litre metro for Monday to Friday when the Grales ill , thats what I did & grew to love the old metro!!!

simon_prickett

Hotpants - got the boring car sorted, I'm running a Leon TDI... so could live with something that's less than reliable... I had been thinking along the lines of Elise, Caterham or Clio V6 for fun car though as I fancy some RWD...

Simon.

Hotpants

Ford Capri !!!!!! lol !!!!!

Seriosly though , Clio v6 certainly looks the nuts & as far as I can tell from the write ups you could use it everyday. M3 is a definate option , as is the M3 Roadster/Mcoupe I've thought about these bad boys.

simon_prickett

Capri, I'll get a leather jacket and some fit birds then :-) You're nicked guv!

Come on over and say hello! We won't bite (probably)

Hotpants

Will visit Rob , have been there before but as the Grale has been off the road & I've sort of lapsed in the Grale banter...
Looking to get it on the road soon but having Potentiometer problems..Interesting Eh !!!!

Rob16v

Life's never dull with a Grale! Remember - it ain't a true supercar unless you're always carrying a piece of it round with you...

lpski1

Hotpants dont waste time on getting the speedo fixed, its only cosmtic anyhow, ha ha. You can tell how fast your going when you stick your head out the window and your eyes water and your ears flap at 90slaps/per minute. If your not planning on flying the grale, you could always sell the sumpgard eh!! you tell me it cost a small fortune !!!! Cant wait to see the beast on the road again. I will bring my own FM (**** me) handle and stick it on meself.

edited due to my language - apologies for the **** got carried away.

There is a new Lancia forum at www.lancisti.net and gradually people are migrating away from Evocorner on Delphi because of the spam & adverts.

HFmarcus

Yes, but more people are coming back to the Delphi Evoforum as nothing else quite compares.

Rob16v

Marcus, what are you doing moonlighting on here?!

Now there is a legend

HFmarcus

Just popped on for a browse.
I was actually looking for an old banger for our lass to go shopping in & do her hairdressing appointments.
I typed all this in a search engine & it came back with www.scoobynet.co.uk

I have a 16 valve integale that the engine has just been rebuilt on it is chipped to run 1.5 bar of boost by Barry Waterhouse, has group A head gasket, group A exhaust (no silencers) that makes it sound like a works rally lancia , paddle clutch, air filter and a dump valve should make quite good power when run in I have done a 5.63 0-60 run in this car when it was not chipped and had a slipping clutch so it is quite fast off the line
