1992 Lancia Delta Integrale EVO1 review from Netherlands
"As if it just came off a rally stage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 8000 kilometers my gearbox fell apart. A "gearbox specialist" fixed it for me. It took them more than three months to get my gearbox repaired. Some parts have to come from Italy, so that takes some time. In all it was quite expensive. 13000 kilometers later my gearbox broke down again. To save some money I just took out the engine and gearbox and stored my delta in a barn. It will be 2006 before my baby is on the road again. But I'm not thinking of selling this rally legend. Never!
General comments?
Good power, just a bit of an old turbo. More lag than a sierra cosworth.
Perfect handling. Corners better than a Porsche.
People stop in front of you and smile or point at you. Have you ever stopped for an Impreza!!!
Incredible dashboard with seven dials and more than ten lights.
It won the WRC six times in a row. Who wouldn't want one.
