THEMA 16v TURBO,1992, 2wd or 4wd

[Craig C]

Hi peeps

I am presently seeking a new car and was looking at Delta's until I was told that the Thema has te same engine as can be just as much fun but adding the family touch to it at the same time.

So my question is, as I am seeking a 16v Turbo with an age of 1992 or newer, is the Thema 16v Turbo 2wd or 4wd like the Delta Intergrale 16v Turbo or is it that the word Intergrale is wht distinguishs wether it is 4wd or not??

Please peeps help me out I need to get a car soon last motor died on me! Thanx

Front wheel drive only - although I've often thought that if you could get the integrale gearbox then you could.......hmmm could be interesting.

Hi David!
Sorry,my English is very bad,I am German.
I have two Integrale,one of this is a rebuilding for a Pick up.
I would like to make the completely drive mechanic from the Integrale,
in a Thema 16V Turbo.But this is not easy.
The rear axle must be more broad,the wheeldistance between Front and rear is different,also the distance between the left and right wheel.
Nevertheless,i will try this work.
I am thinking about this since 6 month,in the sommer is the Thema 4wd (I hope so) ready.
When you want look for the Pick up,look here:www.abarth-lancia.de

Easiest way to convert the FWD thema to 4WD is by using components from Alfa romeo 164 Q4. Q4 has a very sophisticated 4WD system specially designed for 164 and does not share any components with Delta Integrale. Remember, 164 and Thema has almost same body structure, suspension and subframes. However, even on 164, rear suspension area was extensively modified to fit 4WD system so it may still require extensive work on Thema to adapt 4WD system.
