Any date for its road worthyness?

wrinx

No :(

I was hoping it would be ready this year or early next but funds won't allow it. :(

Mechanically it's ok, unless the lay up has caused any problems, but the bodywork needs attention.

Body work I would hope is relatively cheap, especially if you are fabricating bits yourself. Hope it is ready for the 20th anniversary! ;)

Hi!

Nice car! Nice mods! Yours!!! Not that ones of that "155 enthusiast" from who you bought it. I saw the pictures...

Best regards, Martin

Update time...car went into the body shop about a month ago, I'm hoping for some news soon.

It's being converted to widebody for a couple of reasons. Firstly, good rear quarters for skinny cars are almost impossible to find...but I guess mine could have been repaired by a good body man.

But the real reason is the new look I want for the car....widebody, with the following bits added; can you guess what it is yet?

Wheels...

looks for me as almost the same design as TI.Z version

Steering wheel...
wrinx

easy... Sz/RZ :)

wrinx
19-03-12, 23:19
Correct...well 99% ;)

The wheels are the same as the TiZ but a different PCD so I need to mess about with them a bit.

The steering wheel is the same as SZ/RZ...but also TiZ ;)

The steering wheel and road wheels are both very rare...

ok so what kind of other cars had them ?:D

wrinx
20-03-12, 08:37
These came from an Alfa 166 :lol:

I think there was a different 5-stud wheel fitted to the 916 GTV or perhaps 164 but not sure about that.

alfa 166 is 5x108

21-03-12, 08:30
Yes, and Lancia Kappas...that it's.

Looking at the ET these could have come from a Lancia but I doubt it.

Just need to find a way to fit the things now!

If everything just bolted straight on it would be boring and wouldn't be worth the effort would it?

But then again it would be nice if something fitted straight away now and then.

Wrinx, nice project. I'll be waiting for news about the it, wheels are going to be a headache, but at the end it's worth to have a TiZ.

it was a garage sale so i dont have any infos.. i passed by and parked my car and have some look what goods where there... and then i saw brand new steering wheel and hub. he wanted 70euros for it and i gave him 80euros and went happy home :P

You've not got the hang of this haggling have you? :happy:

Still I'm sure most people on here would love to be able to get hold of that steering wheel for €80.

Big plans eh ! i didnt realise yours was as already "modded" as that,

my Q is were the cams worth the expense?
i keep thinking of buying them (when im not thinking of selling the car that is :s )

wrinx
03-10-12, 17:40
The plans have changed for it now, widebody rear wings are on and the conversion will be finished when I get around to replacing one of the rear doors and both front wings.

I've since replaced the 33 P4 steering wheel with a Momo Zagato (same as the SZ and TiZ) and have another set of wheels to fit, like the OZ Zagatos (same as TiZ wheels)...but not sure I can make them work yet! :roll:

Not sure about the inlet cam, it's reduced power/response below 3k revs but I'm not passing full judgement until the mapping is configured to include them.

One thing I might do is lose the stainless manifold, apparently they have worse flow than the OE cast iron versions!!!

Where did you hear that nugget of info, and is it restricted to one particular type of tubular manifold?

wrinx
03-10-12, 18:27
It only refers to the Chinese made manifolds sold a couple of years ago, "designed" by a chap in the UK.

The tests were reportedly done by Guy Croft but I haven't seen the report myself, think I read about it on here though...

The GC designed and produced manifold is £2000:

£2k! :eek:

Note the comment about the "other" manifolds.

wrinx

Steve Webb
03-10-12, 20:43
I wonder why it isn't ceramic coated to help with heat control?

I'd be really interested to see a comparison between all the 'major' Lampredi tuners favorite manifolds.

nice to see the engine in that GC post running a Kappa inlet manifold too.

Update...

Bought some of these, been looking for a set for two years! Oz Zagatos...
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Oz%20Zagatos/Tyres.jpg

The Oz Zagatos don't fit with 166 Brembos, by this much, when they're spaced to clear the caliper...
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Oz%20Zagatos/ZagatoWide.jpg

So, the Brembos have gone, to be replaced with Wilwoods. There's only 40mm of clearance with these wheels so I've stuck the standard 5mm spacer on the front, 45mm should be enough. In this picture the rears are without spacers:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Oz%20Zagatos/Zag0mm.jpg

This one has 15mm spacers to the rear, still 5mm to the front:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Oz%20Zagatos/Zag15mm.jpg

Thats as it should be. Cars are meant to be driven not polished.

wrinx
16-06-13, 21:19
Sadly it doesn't get driven as often as it should either!

Currently on SORN (off the road) and being treated to some new bits to get it through the MOT....drop links, wishbones, CV boot, front wings, replacement brakes etc :lol:

Steve Webb

Yeah well I should have said they need to be driven/worked on rather than polished (Especially red ones, too much polishing leaves them pink)

or can you measure it

Bit of an update....Brembos have gone, replaced by Wilwoods; and the bumper is undergoing a redesign:

26-08-13, 08:32
What Wilwood model is? With these calipers you can install the Speedline original wheels?

wrinx
26-08-13, 10:39
They are Dynalites...they will fit under Speedlines with 300mm discs, that's how this set was being used by "Speedy". The only problem is the discs have to be bells and rotors and some grinding to the lower balljoint!

But, they should fit the standard 284mm discs easily...I'm having to use them because the Zagato wheels are so shallow (40mm clearance).

David ARTC-215

Wilwoods...
Test fit with both original spacers (the black bit in the middle):
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/01-1.jpg

Quick bit of measuring confirmed the spacer size required:

Cutting into four:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/08-1.jpg

Hand finishing; initial grinding with a 40 grit flap wheel after bolting the four pieces together:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/09-1.jpg

Finishing with emery cloth:

Completed:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/11.jpg

Test fit number two, the caliper is about 1mm offset so I'll make a spacer to centre it properly:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/12.jpg

Wheel fitted, just catches the caliper body...
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/13.jpg

1.2mm spacer, I ended up remaking these in stainless but they look the same!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/sheetspacer.jpg

Painting the spacers:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Wilwoods/paintedspacers.jpg

Now with a 1mm gap:

Next job is to fit the braided rear flexis (fronts already done), bleed the system and then remove the inlet cam prior to MOT test!

Might also need a wheel spacer a millimetre or two wider :lol:

Been trying to bleed the brake system but the pedal is still spongy, replacement master cylinder is on the cards now :roll:

But, the wheels now clear the Wilwoods properly after making some DIY wheel spacers :lol:

A pair of used 284mm 4-hole Alfa pattern discs.

2x 90° 16mm bends
1x 135° 25mm bend
1x 25>16mm reducer
1x 25mm connector
2x 16mm connectors
1x 1m of straight hose shown is not required!
Supply of stainless hose clips...

But have one question.
Can you say what have you done with adapters for brembos of ar166?

I still have them, not for sale though if that's why you were asking..sorry.

I like your idea of making spacers from the old discs.
I can see one possible problem though, haven't you lost the centre location (spigot) for the wheel?

wrinx
13-03-14, 21:59
It's close! There's about half the spigot left but with the chamfers it's damned tight...if all else fails I'll revert back to the standard calipers after thoroughly servicing them!

Although I do have another plan for the spigots...

Really ought to update this thread, I'm onto the bodywork now!

Bleeding the brakes turned into a real nightmare, ended up replacing the master cylinder as a precaution and bodging up a pipe to connect the Easibleed to my compressor...two big air bubbles popped out straight away and the pedal is now rock solid :cool:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Hosted/CopyofPressurebleederadaptor_r.jpg

Also replaced the clutch slave whilst I was in the area, the circlip broke when I removed it :blush:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4_InletManifold/circlip.jpg

Replaced coil packs and earthing straps too...

Just creat job you did on your Q4.


The rust is a real problem with all 155er, mine has the similar points, but as i can see one the photos even worser.

Oh dear :?

Finished the repair panel today and tackled a few more rusty areas under the rear of the car, usually covered by the fuel tank...the twisted wire wheels for grinders are excellent!

Started on the inner chassis rail, added a bit of rust converter:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/floor03.jpg

Then the fuel tank mounts, plastic grommets were removed by screwing in a 10mm bolt and pulling them out.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/floor01.jpg
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/floor02.jpg

Then the drain holes which are a usual point for corrosion:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/floor04.jpg

Cleaned up a couple more areas and slapped more "Bondo" on!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/floor05.jpg

The finished job...final paint and stone guard to be done after I've completed the boot floor repair by the wheelarch.

Everything removed ready for dropping the rear diff and subframe tomorrow.

Crusty!

Trailing arm at full drop!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/Sub02.jpg

Spring removed and in the bath.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub03.jpg

Halfway there, dramatic difference.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub04.jpg

Anti-roll bar bolts; always a bit tricky but these came of with a bit of care...and an Irwin on one! :lol:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub05.jpg

Anti-rollbar off...how thick should they be, I reckon I've lost 2mm in rust! :lol:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub13.jpg

Had a quick five minutes play with the grinder and wire wheel, it should clean up ok.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub14.jpg


The only question remains...wire wheel and several coats of enamel paint or sandblast and powder coating. Ignoring the effort and time involved in the former is the latter really worth the difference? I've read of it chipping easily and not lasting very long :?

Did a bit more today...removed rear diff and rear subframe, stripped the rear arms and removed the bearings.

But first, couldn't resist another picture of the Oz Zagatos...damn they look good!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/car01.jpg

Today's job, remove the diff and subframe.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/diff01.jpg

Diff removed.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/diff02.jpg

Subframe removed.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub15.jpg

Big empty space!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/sub16.jpg

Decided to remove the rusty tube and clean it up, the wire wheel is great, but...
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/tube01.jpg

...when the wires fly off, they draw blood! Eye protection is essential.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/tube02.jpg

Cleaner.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/tube03.jpg

Finished and being treated with Deox Gel, the black areas are the small areas of rust left despite all the wire grinding.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/tube04.jpg

Primed with Bonda.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/tube05.jpg

While I was waiting for the Deox Gel to work I replaced the bottom spring pan bolts which were more than a little worse for wear and usually shear off, they simply knock out.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/bolt01.jpg
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/bolt02.jpg

That only took a minute, so turned my attention to the spring that had been in the tank for a few hours; ready for spraying.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/spring01.jpg

Onto the rear trailing arms, stripped all the bits off.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm01.jpg

This is the bearing that needs to be removed, mine had a fair amount of play in them, the top of the wheels were leaning in!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm02.jpg

First one removed, what a mess; the grease had solidified!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm03.jpg

Second one looked better, side by side.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm04.jpg

This is the race, still in the arm, form the bad one shown above...another mess!
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm05.jpg

A second rough bearing.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm06.jpg

Next, the races were removed from the arms, this one had indentation marks from the roller bearings...perhaps made on fitting??? Very odd.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/arm07.jpg

Confirming the bearing code...same as other 155s.

Race still on the hub.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/bear05.jpg

Out with the grinder.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/bear06.jpg

When it's thin enough (heat marks indicate thin stuff), a sharp tap with a hammer and chisel will crack the race and release it.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/bear07.jpg


Also stripped down the subframe...

These had to come out.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/frame01.jpg

Hit the large ones hard enough and the top cracks off and the rubber punches through.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/frame02.jpg

But not the smaller ones, which also needed the 6t press.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/wrinx/Q4/Q4_RearSubframe/frame03.jpg

hi wrinx

negative side on part
positive side on a iron part?

how many volt and current u used?
how many hours waiting?

09-05-14, 09:46
This is where I got the information from:

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyspatch/rust.htm

I usually leave the parts in overnight, wirebrush and put back for another night if it's necessary.

It's not the fastest method, but it's the cleanest! If I need something in a hurry I use a "twisted knot" disc in my grinder, but that's very messy.

Liking your work, I've got the same job to do myself this Summer, my thoughts and experiences are:

Rotary wire brush is hard work (tough on the hands too) and tends to polish which isn't a good surface for paint to cling to, we've got a 225 litre drum which I fill with Deox (we buy and sell in bulk so it's much cheaper) so I just throw parts in that and leave them there.
If I want them quicker we've got an aquarium heater I bung in to heat it up, it speeds up the process greatly. Before we remove working engines for reconditioning I add it to the water system and run it round for a while so it de-rusts internally.

I've found this: http://www.rust.co.uk/products/category/28117/epoxy-mastic-rust-proofing-chassis-paint/#

Which i'll be ordering today to paint everything with, there's an independent test on there which rated it highly.

Spring coils tend to sit on one another which is why they rust so easily, rubber tube pushed on the ends can help for a while. I wondered about zinc plate but worried about 'Hydrogen embrittlement'. I dipped my rear calipers in the de-rust tank, then zinc plated, then painted black, they've lasted really well. I figured they weren't particularly pretty to look at and always dirty with brake dust so matt black was best.

Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

wrinx
09-05-14, 10:49
That looks like good stuff, wish I'd found it before spraying my springs form a rattle can!

The wire disc I use in the grinder doesn't polish as such, it's quite an aggressive tool, particularly the wires when they come flying out! :lol:

09-05-14, 12:15
Yeah I know all about it - been there, done that! They're great for removing underseal and seam sealer, but the out of balance wheel turned my hands numb and tingly after an hour or two.

I found the best Etch primer is Tetrosyl btw, we got some grey stuff in a spray can for touching up and it didn't survive the scratch test. The Tetrosyl refuses to let go and you can even weld near or through it.

While you have your car in bits can you measure me the distance between the strut fixing holes (centre to centre) on the front hub uprights? Doesn't have to be too accurate.
It would be useful (for everyone) to know what they are. I know Fiat Coupe are around 73mm and suspect Q4 is a lot smaller, but not sure.

wish you'd asked me this last week, before I put the wheels on :lol:

I made it a rough 72mm by placing a pair of calipers on the bolts...so 73mm is looking good!

Thanks, I was laid on the floor with a tape measure so I wasn't so accurate either, if it was different it would be a lot.
It's looking likely that the Fiat Coupe suspension fits your car then, which if it does it opens up some more opportunities for you guys.

I'm struggling to see the point of the void by each jacking point, towards the front of the car. I might just weld a blank over the space as it's just a moisture trap at present.

Nightmare job, spent about two hours on this and don't seem to have made much progress. Apart from sandblasting, is there an easier way to do it? I've tried the knotted wheel and heat gun but neither were any quicker and the former is very messy.

Currently using a woodworking chisel, to be followed with the knotted wheel to clean up where necessary:

Not much done since Sunday as I'm not well (which is why I found it hard work!) :roll:

Finished painting the arms, two coats of Smoothrite. I'd fallen out with Hammerite products over the past few years but am quite happy with how it went on these...not sure how hardy it'll be on the road.

Then cleaned up the threads in the hubs with a couple of taps and squeezed the hubs into place.

Still not much done, just a bit of pottering and painting with the complicated handbrake assembly.

Plenty of Plus Gas and cleaning to get the rusty bits apart then started off with the knotted wheel, followed by electrolytic derusting, etch primer and a couple of coats of Smoothrite.


Bracket.

Dismantled the rest of the handbrake assembly today, ready for de-rusting and painting...what a complicated system! Are all 155s like this or just Q4s?

Also started cleaning up the rear diff casing...not sure what to do with it though, preference is just to leave it clean(ish!) rather than paint.

Some of that definitely looks familiar :lol:

I've seen a picture of another 155 with all those holes cut out, it was on track...where did the idea come from?

I saw this in a thread on the Swedish www.alfapower.nu and thought it was kinda cool.
