[Exclusive body for dedicated engine] Fiat 130 Coupe British version Classic Guide Part 2
Speed that is not short on comfortable ride
執筆:Malcolm Mckay(マルコム・マッケイ)撮影:James Mann(ジェームズ・マン)翻訳:Kenji Nakajima(中嶋健治)The Fiat 130 Coupe has a good test ride evaluation, and there are many cases that have been cherished so far.The steering column and seat adjustment range are large, and the driving position is excellent.Riding comfort is comfortable even in modern levels.
The steering is light, and there is almost no body roll in the corner.It was pointed out at the time of the new car that the speed was not enough for the price, but it was more than enough if you think of it as a classic.The cruising at 160km/h is so unable to know.
When purchasing, first 3.I want to make sure that the 2L V6 engine starts easily and rotates smoothly.Although it is a robust unit, the timing belt is recommended to replace every five years or 48,000 km.I want to check the condition of the water pump at the same time because it leads to a fatal failure.
The wear condition of the engine can be confirmed by excessive consumption of engine oil and excessive mechanical noise and vibration.Parts are not available, but the number of rebuilt products is limited.
In the case of AT, I want to check if the fluid is dark.Ideally transparent red is ideal.In the case of MT, check the condition of the synchromesh that matches the gear speed at the time of shifting and the noise of the internal shaft.MT rebuilt is high.
Be careful of rust and fluid leakage of the body
The feeling of stepping on the brake pedal from the time of the new car was soft and pointed out.Touch can be improved by using modern enhanced hoses.I also want to pay attention to the sticking of the brake caliper.
Suspension's ball joints and rubber bush wear worsen the maneuverability.The exchange cost is not high.The shock absorber also reduces the damping force due to aging.
Excessive play and fluid leakage of the steering are signs of rebuilt.I want to be careful about the chorus of the body that takes time.
The cars introduced this time are restored thanks to financial collectors, and the interior has been upgraded to leather and Alcantara.It was originally made of monotone velor material.
When the hood is opened, the red is painted in various places as an accent.Originally, it's all business -like black.
Points to be careful when purchasing
I want to check carefully around the front and rear fenders, especially the wheel arch.There are many rusted points, such as the front and rear balance panels, under the headlights, tip of the hood, inner fender, bulk head, floor, door mounting part, B pillar.
Be careful with the luggage floor and chassis legs.Lights are extremely difficult to obtain parts.
Designed by Aurelio Lamp Lady 3.The 2L SOHC V6 engine is perfect for the personality of 130 coupe.The bleeding torque is also thick, and it is highly durable unless you neglect it.Check the replacement history of the timing belt and the water pump.
The interior trim is very rare for 130 coupe.The price is also high.Make sure that everything, such as switches, works normally and works.The interior of the 130 coupe to be introduced is restored, and the original is velor.You can choose leather as an option, durable.
ZF MT is a rebuilding, but costs expensive.Borgwarner's AT can be rebuilded at a lower price than MT, but I want to see if there is any problems.Switches that are difficult to obtain around the gear lever are surrounded.I want to be careful about handling.
The feeling of stepping on the brake pedal is a sponge since the time of the new car.If you don't ride for a long time, the caliper may stick.
The steering rack is made by ZF.Make sure there are no excessive play or fluid leakage.
Pay attention to the damper.Ball joints can be replaced relatively cheaply.Chlomodora's magnesium wheels are easy to corrode and difficult to obtain.
