Lancia Delta Evoluzione
The Rally Queen - 6 World rally Championships
Lancia Delta: What more to say? The legend, the rally icon, the beast. Just one of the few to have it tagged and licensed in the US. Hurrah!

My Lancia was imported from Japan to the US and sold to a Californian collector. The car has around 24K miles and it completely stock. My wish is, with some free time, to unlash her full potentials as it is capable of. Next, I will follow with all the mods I will bring to the vehicle to make it more close to my likelihood. |

RESTORATION
|
|
The front fender was damaged during shipment by the incompetent shipping Company. I then removed it to get it repaired. I am now evaluating new grills as the us plate has a different shape and doesn't fit in the allotment designed by Lancia |
The oil pan was damaged, pitted, dented and I removed it to bring it back to its original shape. I have installed a new gasket and new bolts |
|
I have also installed a reinforcement bar linking the back shocks to improve torsion's rigidity to the back of the vehicle. The bar is well designed and doesn't interfere with the cargo space |
The fun begins here. A rally pod to work on. I am close to get it done and ready for the body shop |
|
Next was the time for the Alum bash plate. I prefer it to the fiberglass as more durable and easier to repair. The plate covers the engine in its entirety
|
Bottom tie bar and mounting reinforcement for the back
differential are a must. See below a Gruppo A car |
 |
Engine Block is down. Time for forged Wessner pistons and rods. Since I have everything down, we will replace springs, retainers and main head gasket which will not take the higher pressure boost. The new head gasket has steel rings which requires the head or the block to be machined accordingly. In addition, the delta gearbox which is prone to split with the increased horsepower has been stiffened by the addition of the a steel plate that position itself between the trans and the block. Last, a brand dual disk clutch with sinterized material will be installed. Such clutch should withstand incredible amount of power while maintaining a civil ride. |

The guides and the seats of the valves (only the exhausts)
were replaced and two new rally spec cams installed

Engine bay. Pipes were coated with high temperature paint and wrapped to limit the amount of heat that the large turbo could generate |
