1996 Lancia Delta HPE GT VVT review from Belgium

"Smooth Italian racer"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

But the variator of the valves is beginning to make a diesel sound so it is going to go out.

To replace this piece you have to change your cam belt and tensioner etc so heavy cost.

I drove one time with a frozen handbrake which led to the changing of the rearbrakes.

Recaro alcantara seats are great, but wear fast.

General comments?

The engine is very smooth and gives a lot of low end torque for a 1.8.

When you want you can rev it higher then the vvt starts working and it will go fast.

Not a super GTI performer 130hp for 1200kg, but you won't be beaten neither by snails.

Recaro interiour/seats are great

dash has a lot of gauges oil temp etc.

Paint is still great even my red one.

Brakes are good.

I have lowered it 3cm eibach.

Ms design evo 500 body kit.

Exhaust.

17" rims.
