Yep, I had an early 16V Integrale, with the later Evo Bonnet, and optional adjustable rear wing. Awesome car. I need to find a pic of it.
Engine bay was very, very tight, and pipes everywhere! Mine, had a problem at low speeds, of lack of power. Driven a few, and most did the same. Eventually, traced mine, to a tiny vacuum pipe, buried, right under the manifold. Replaced, and low punch restored, and the slingshot, of that car, would eat an Evo VI in straight line, or corners! I also adjusted the boost, so it max was now 1.5psi. Yes it had an overboost, but that only went to abaout 1.2psi, as standard.
To this day, i fully regret selling it. Must of been an idiot, but had too many cars [seven, yes seven!]. You do get used to the LHD. Infact, i felt it made the car feel even more special. And there is no car on the planet, that is more satisfying to drive across the Moors at speed. A great Icon, and greatly missed.
Today, been looking on various sites, at Integrales. Very tempted to buy one, but, and its a big but, the prices, and condition of cars, vary tremendously. because a car is at £20k, means nothing. Who has owned it? Did they cool the engine off, after a run, or just turn the engine off? So many rebuilds, are down to cooked oil, or lack of lube changes!
Integrales are complicated cars, that need specialist care, often. Unfortunately, like Fiat Coupe 20vt's, they are now in the wrong hands, so its buyer beware!
Just to say, about the build quality. The Delta, was a 70's design, and so, it does not have today's rigid build design, with crumple zones, and side protection. But, the car was built with quite thick metal in places. Doors were heavy, and always closed with a nice thud. Reason the doors start to sound clangy is, because the chassis has gone weak, from hard driving. Chassis needs to be rewelded, or even seam welded, to put the strength back in. Try jacking a 10 year old car up, and try to close the door. Door, I bet, will not shut. This will tell you, the chassis has gone 'loose'.
