Title: Re: Suoermirafiori with pushrod engine ! Post by: c.a.c131 on September 13, 2013, 08:41:02 AM OHV engine in a Super :( nothing Super about that ! They had a S2 Super in Spain with a 1430 OHV engine in it.
Title: Re: Suoermirafiori with pushrod engine ! Post by: Tas131 on September 13, 2013, 08:49:44 AM 131s had the 1600 pushrod, the later supermirafiori and superbrava had the 2 litre.

The OHV engines aren`t so bad ;D Title: Re: Suoermirafiori with pushrod engine ! Post by: david on September 13, 2013, 05:29:24 PM We are not having a dig but why didn't they get a 1600 twin cam like everybody else ? I would feel a bit ripped off if I was Australian.

I think that 125 would blow my 131 into the weeds on the roadside. Rev ! & scream like a jap bike + handle like it was a go cart. You could be excused for thinking it was a mobile toilet for the amount of otherwise brave blokes who shit themselves in there ;D My mates used to put their bike riding mates in there so they could see what a car can do.

Title: Re: Suoermirafiori with pushrod engine ! Post by: simon131 on January 08, 2015, 08:02:00 AM I took my yellow 1600 ohv engined 131S to Ireland late last year for the M2M and it performed extremely well in the presence of it's more powerful twin-cam brothers and sisters ;D In fact some of the other attendees thought that it had been refitted with a 2 litre TC it was that spritely. 8) Yes I had to hold it in the gears longer if I really wanted to keep up, but that's what driving 131s is all about IMHO and besides, often it's about the driver not just the car! :P
Title: Re: Suoermirafiori with pushrod engine ! Post by: kev131 on January 08, 2015, 08:33:24 AM Lots of variables, engine config, capacity, driver....power to weight...etc....! :)
I can attest to how well the yellow peril kept up with TCs at M2M. Especially on the drive back from Leenane to Galway when you Theo and I pulled out a gap for the first few miles. You were right on Theo's tail mate... :) Title: Re: Suoermirafiori with pushrod engine ! Post by: Thotos on January 09, 2015, 08:59:31 PM You were right on Theo's tail mate... :) Yes, in fact I was so impressed that I have now swapped my GC 2 litre twin cam with a 1300 pushrod 😁 |
