Thank you very much.

I will post an update shortly as some new parts are about to arrive.

[Svempa]

Just fitted new frontbrakes. Went for the original discs but with Ferrodo DS2500 pads which should be more faderesistant while on the track compared to the OEM. The old ones were pretty worn so now I got a great pedal feel again.
There is also a new chip aswell as Powerflex bushes coming up. And in a month I'm scheduled at the local paint&bodywork shop to to some rust fixing as there are some bubbles round the windscreen.

Sweet... more pics!

It would be great to see some shots of the running gear when you have some work done on it. As I've never had the chance to see one in real life, I would really like to see the 'guts'

So pretty. I '80s cars.

[Svempa]

Not so much work is going into the running gear except for the regular maintanence. But if you want I can still take some shots. Anything in particular you wanna see up close?

[Ianspeed]

Nothing particular, just shots showing the design and structure of the car - I'm a car design geek.

Time for a little update again:

During the winter- and springmonths I've been piling up on some new parts which will go onto the car asap.



Except form the parts in the picture I've changed the discs and pads (original discs but uprated Ferodo DS2500 pads). I also fitted a new distributor cap and rotor and also bought new ignition cables from Magnecor.
I also got the high mount brackets for the spoiler so I can flip it up like the rally cars and pretend I'm Biasion or Kankkunen
Also fitted is a new chip which really is a thing of joy. Smoothens out the powercurve like magic.
Oil wise I was recommended the Lancia favoured Selenia Racing 10W60 so I bought a couple of bottles for the anual oil change.


I'm also trying to get a hold of the 16 inch alloys that were fitted to the top-of-the-line model of the 2nd Delta Generation, the HPE. They look exactly like the wheels fitted to the Evoluziones exept they are in 4X98 instead of 5X98 so they fit bolt-on to my car.
And I'm thinking about whether or not to fit proper seats.

On the first proper sunny spring day I also managed to take some photos (I'm not so skilled with the camera so you've probalby seen better pics).

[Ianspeed]

Looking good. I even like the tire design.

Can't wait to to see the new spoiler.

I'll post some pics as soon it's painted and fitted. Just sad though that the tires are utter rubbish!

[avanti]

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted in your thread Svempa, I always thought I had...

But, better late than never.. The car looks great, please post interior pictures too if you can, and lots of them

[Svempa]

Shame on you for not writing avanti!

Found some old interiorshots

[Nano]

Very nice!

Can I ask you where you got those seats? I've never seen them on a 16v

[Svempa]

Don't know about the seats either. Have only seen them in one more car except mine.

[avanti]

I've never seen those seats either, looks amazing though!

[Svempa]

Those #!?#"@ italians sent me the wrong bearings which resulted in another engine rebuild. Now she's up and running again though.

[avanti]

Good to hear! How about some new pictures! You can never see too much Delta!!
I'll post some new of mine soon too...

had that happen with yamaha and honda as well

most of the time it's the fucking dealer's fault though
if you don't have your engine done by them, they're a pain in the ass

we once went to ask for some gaskets. the lady behind the counter: "oh, the engine is already open? then you'll have to wait half an hour before i take your order"
WTF????
then you give them a printed out list with parts numbers, amount, description, ... they still manage to get the wrong parts

[Beni]

What a beautiful car . I like the rims aswell.

I'll post some new pics later on when some of the new stuff has wandered on to the car. Car hasn't been given much attention letely since I'm in the middle of building it a new home, a garage that is

[Svempa]

Some more pictures. And a combination of me being very lazy, having a lot of other things to do and other work on the car having higher priority, nothing much has happend I'm afraid. Four new shocks and top mounts is all I have to report really.

Probably not the cleanest engine bay around
