Title: Solved - als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on May 18, 2011, 04:11:06 PM
Here are 12 different cars: 12 different makers and 12 different formulae.
To get the points you must tell me at least the maker, the formula and the Fiat car the engine belongs to.

Some are very very easy  ;), so have a go, rookies!

Zero guesses from rookies... Time to promote it.

Thanks for the "featured".
But it's unbelivable that still there are no guesses: at least a couple of them are incredibly easy!!!

Let's break the ice

Is no 2 a De Sanctis Formula Junior from 1959?
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 08, 2011, 03:52:42 PM
Thanks for being the first but, sorry, neither De Sanctis nor F. Junior.

First half of the first point is your.  ;)
To get the point I need brand (Ok), Formula (Ok) and also Fiat model whose engine has been used. So, locked for you.

Correct again... unless the engine. I'll double-check if it's used also on the Punto, but Fiat promoted it as a Formula using the engine of the Fiat #####.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: Aaron65 on June 09, 2011, 09:01:46 AM
I'll throw in the Bravo, because I believe it uses a 1.6 as well...
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 09, 2011, 09:02:55 AM
Not the Bravo, but the Fiat range in that country is not so big...

I think #11 is an Abarth SE 025 Formula Italia car, with an engine that typically went in Fiat 132s (?).

Once again correct car and formula, but the engine is older. Locked for you.

Is it from a Fiat 125?
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 10, 2011, 06:52:14 AM
You are closer... but still not.  ;) Which other Fiat car was fitted with the famouse "twin-cam"?
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: Aaron65 on June 10, 2011, 07:46:35 AM
The 124?
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 10, 2011, 07:55:50 AM
Let's consider it as a good answer. In fact it was the 124 Sport, fitted with the DOHC instead of the sedan's OHV.

#3 - Berta (Mk2A, I guess) - Fiat for MAF2 (Fiat 125)
#6 - WK74 for Formula Easter (VAZ 2101 - Fiat 124 derivative)
#8 - Cordoban 4 for Formula 1430 (SEAT 1430 - Fiat 124 derivative)

The curent Itaian Formula Junior was known as Formula Monza, Formula Fire and Formula Monza Junior throughout its history...
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 18, 2011, 09:37:35 AM
I know, but this is another one. And don't use the FIRE engine.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: faksta on June 18, 2011, 10:13:53 AM
Fiat Punto 1.2 engine? I still can't find any similar formulae in Italy, but there have been Trofeo Cadetti and Trofeo AICA F.Junior using Formula Junior (AFAIK) cars.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 18, 2011, 10:16:07 AM
A clue: it's one or two years older than the Formula FIRE.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: faksta on June 18, 2011, 10:23:14 AM
 :doh: Formula Panda 903 (so the engine is Fiat Panda).

I thought it was a younger car...

Regarding F.Easter car, to my own shame I can't still be sure about what it is. Probably SEG...
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 18, 2011, 02:04:37 PM
no, not a SEG.
A clue: it's named after its builder...

Kuether? (WK = Wolfgang Kuether)
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat

No, neither that one.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: faksta on June 18, 2011, 03:12:47 PM
That was just to clarify the WK case, as the car looks very similar indeed.

Should be a 1972 Kuhn of Manfred Kuhn then?
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 18, 2011, 03:34:08 PM
Yes, made by Manfred Kuhn. But the engine is neither Lada nor 124. But now it's easy because there is only one alternative behind the iron courtain...

And after that, only the F 1800 engine is missed, waiting for pnegyesi.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: faksta on June 18, 2011, 04:54:27 PM

No, the 1430 was... 1430  ;). And even the 1430/1800 got its engine from Seat ###.
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat

well, I'd say Seat 124, but I already said Seat 124 Sport and you said no. So I dunno
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
Post by: als15 on June 19, 2011, 06:11:24 PM
I cannot imagine you don't know that car.
The point is already your, but think to a Seat 1800 saloon launched in the first half ot the Seventies, that is neither the 214 nor the 131...
Title: Re: als_051 - Formula Fiat
