Irish Coupe
« on: September 02, 2018, 06:23:06 PM »
Hi Guys and Gals thanks for adding me. I'm from Ireland and live in Dublin. Just acquired a 81 Beta Coupé got it in Scotland and love it. It was originally a Blue 1.6 Auto but was converted to a 2.0 manual. Its in great condition and has lots done to it over the years. Its had the head redone including water pump belt etc., new bushes and joints all round. Brakes were also done with new discs and pads. Exhaust is also new and has a great buzz off it. It was painted orange which is grand at 10 feet not perfect but is clean with little or no rust. I am a fan of Rally cars and most of my cars have the rally look so this suits me grand. I want to make it better but keep the look. I love the Beta Coupe's and had a few in the 90's so i cant wait to get it out and about.
I am looking for some wheel arch extensions and maybe a nice set of wider alloys if anyone has any or knows where they can be got.
 Cheers Alan

There's a Facebook group doing new wheels for the Delta integrale in 16 inch with 7.5 inch width but i don't know what the offsets are. It's a 4*98 wheel in the Pepperpot style which will bolt straight onto the Beta hubs but may require modification to the arches to give sufficient clearance. Check Facebook for "Evolution Steve" or email software@integrale.live I think.

If the jump to 16's isn't possible then the 15 inch integrale 4 bolt pepperpots fit just fine, got them on my car!

I'm sure that you'll find the arch extensions somewhere but probably Italy? Someone on here may know and will let you know!
