i tryed to put this rimz but it want fit..
15" rimz want fit !!  ???

What size tire are you having in the rims?
Is the car lowered?

at 1st i thought it was the tire !! so i deflate it, then installed it back but the rim hit the suspention!! i was  ??? ...
i tryed to put a flang bt its still hits!!
it seemz that 131 just for 14" rimz not 4 bigger..?
and nop it is not lowred

Wrong ET, you just need a wheel for 131, 15"will fit then.

excuse me bellamacchina,, but what do u mean by ET ! u know i new for shortcuts in words!  :)
and here z the engine , its alittle dusty coz now its need renewing its liscinse ..
i'll post more pic when its cleaned up.. :)
btw
i wana ask somthing and i hope that u help me 131 Fanz!
the volumix i had its inner core (the case of the impelers) is scratched and i think its not working proporly !!
any suggitions that i can repair it!!

By ET he means the width of the wheel. Not all wheels are good for all cars. If it's too wide it will hit the suspension so the wheel will be useless for that car. Take a look at this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_(wheel)

aha ! gr8, thanx man   ;)
so i think the rimz that i tryed, the ET was long, so that it want fit..

thanks Stathe for answering, I was offline because I am travelling.

Any time ;)

Is it a first series one Adiga?

u see it was 4 my brother, and it mine..
and am thinkin of restoration it, bt i i have not that about it, so joined this forum site 2 know about it more, in the back of the car it just said mirafiori and it 1976 2000cc with volumix supercharger and i have an extra one..
how can i know if series one or anythin else ?! is there a specific reading that i can know about it?

Read Albert Browers excellent article "Supercharged 131s (http://www.131mirafiori.com/131storyVx.htm)" in the "131 Story (http://www.131mirafiori.com/131story.htm)" part of this website.

thanks thotos  :)
when i finish the article i bit that i would know if its series I or somthing else.. =)

yes it is series I sathe174, but why u askin?
is the volumix in series I is diff from the sec. and therd ?! or thay are all the same ?!

I just asked for no specific reason... I have a series one myself...

hmmm... 76 model, 1st series, and supercharged - TIME WARP?    ??? Didn't the "volumix" appear on the market only as late as 1981? Is Albert wrong?  :o

And, please, can you write like a grown up, not like a kid on ICQ?

Robert, believe me I am not wrong. This car is a total mixture with different parts.
And there is a Lancia volumex compressor on this "volumix"

I think mix was used because the car is a mixture ;D

hey robert : grow up !!
am only askin ! shell out..  :-\
is there any harm if  i wana know a little bit about the car !! here in my country no one knows any info about it,,

oky then robert, wat do u think about u saw the car and u saw the engine !!?

Albert, just joking - I know you are the authority on Volumex cars  8)

Yes, this car is a wild mixture of everything, IMHO a good basis for an Abarth replica - better than chop up another Sport  ;D

And to you, my friend with ICQ manners: as far as I know in your part of the world one of the most important things is respect for those older than oneself. So please be polite, not jesty, and all your questions will be answered.

As to your car: if you want it to work properly, take out all the "volumix" crap and get the engine to work like any normal TC engine - it will be powerful enough, believe me. And get a set of Fiat wheels with the correct offset. Get the car working properly before looking for "tuning" parts. This is the way to get accustomed to previously unknown technology. And, by the way, any form of literature might help also (Haynes manual...)

Salaam,
Robert

well its not u that tells me to respect who!
i respect who respect me !
& i didnt disrespect anyone...

and am just asking! the restoration process is gona take long time.. the engine can be fixed, but the super! no one here know anything about it,,

Guys, guys, guys,

Let's stay polite here.  Adiga, what Robert means is try to use normal English language, please. It's difficult to read sentences with just letter. Especially for those which like to follow this topic and whose native language is not English. Like me for instance.
It's got nothing to do with respect. Just the love for a mirafiori.

thanx mirafiori76, i try to make my self clearer but i dont know what i've done to him to say such thing to me..
anyway thanx again mirafiori76  ;D

It's just a use of words and how someone picks them up. In this case nothing to make a big deal of it. We're all friends here.
Keep up the good work, Adiga. And if you have questions about your car there is always somebody to help you.
Regards,

Mike
