An Italian brand saying how related to the Japanese brand has nothing to do with, not to mention an old Italian car Fiat 126p, but there is a recent transplant Fiat 126p Honda VTEC Turbo engine case, and changed the more exaggerated wheel arch, no longer small potatoes before.

Fiat 126 was born in 1972, to 1980 production. Fiat 126 is a follow-up models of Fiat's models NUOVA500, but often just called in Italy Fiat 126 or Fiat Maroons Hz. And are not P, the P representative of Poland means. So this is actually the late 1970s 126p imported from Italy, Poland 126 technology for the localization of products, from 1973 to 2000 to begin production until the final shutdown. At that time our country had to "barter" way to import a large number of Polish products have been imported when 126p, so there is a "small potatoes" in the title. At the time of Europe, the Fiat 126 and Volkswagen Beetle and Austin is a par three mini-car. 320Ci Camber Plates

Original 126p using 0.653 liter inline two-cylinder air-cooled engine with rear-engine rear-wheel drive form, maximum horsepower of 26. At that time the car reached a top speed of 105 km / h, and then Fiat 126p less than 580 kilograms of weight.

This article describes Fiat 126p, the original twin-cylinder air-cooled engine removed, transplanted into a 1.6-liter VTEC engine from the old Civic Si, and its fitted with turbochargers. So this 1.6-liter engine upgrade from the original 125 to 170 horsepower. Perhaps for 170 horsepower turbocharged VTEC plus combination it is not very powerful, but less than 580 kilograms for the original 126p, 126p of horsepower to weight ratio of 1 / 3.411, very terrible.
From the original 26 to 170 horsepower, more than six times the original, wider track increase vehicle stability is necessary action.

In order to cope with the appearance from 26 to 170 horsepower changes, car 126p in addition to replacement of the original front bumper and engine cover open manner, and the installation of a large front and rear wheel arches, the use of round arch and put wider tires. 318ti Camber Plates

Modified old car is a very difficult task, especially in the power six times as much as the original, the original design of the car body rigidity just in response to 26, but this has been increased to 170 stations 126p in high speed frame can withstand live such a torque output, which is the test tuners skill. Of course, players on modified old car a lot of people, from a dynamic configuration than the poor old car step by step how to put it into a performance car, perhaps, this is their fun.
