re: slow build 16v cinq



bad pic but you can see it just under the arch. backs tucked too (thats y i said i cant see hwo u can run a lower arb mine was almost un-movable lol. my arb is also batttttered )

and the sump is...


can see the arb dropping in background.

so can we play who can go lower?

re: slow build 16v cinq

Couple more photo's of his Sei.





Ideally I need to get a custom brace made up so it's a bit higher up, also want it so it bolts to the chassis too.

We are hijacking whitz's thread, sorry.

Thanks

re: slow build 16v cinq

looks really nice but not the best for in Britain with all these speed bumps and pot holes

i would kick myself ive i was ever to buckle or kerb one of those alloys

a 70/50 kit on 14" wheels should have enough clearance to keep me happy

Looks like they done something with the rear camber to create that extra tuck look ?

Nope, thats just how much camber you get going that low.

My friends old Sei was sitting on chops and the camber on the back of that was evil on tyres.

re: slow build 16v cinq

will be able to test fit the engine soon only a few niggle things hindering me

1st small and easy thing to do was gearbox had two locators for one hole so pulled one out and that's done

bolt in gearbox snapped for n/s mount does not want to come out, worst case change the case




see the problem there ?

ive got that selector on the wrong way so when its the correct way clutch piston is in the way so will have to make up a higher bracket to clear


missing a plate here to take the sporting mount as the 899 is different


how it was tonight ready to be moved out of the garage to go under the car

flywheel is off with brooky

also car filled up with water under the floor pan

re: slow build 16v cinq

there are loads of different mounds you can use. front mount from a cinq, side from a sei. and bannana style side from a sei sporting V reg onwards.

on about the O/S

hope arc doesnt mind me linking one of his pics

its the plate that bolts to the body then the mount bolts to it

Ash

re: slow build 16v cinq

ah there £11 straight from fiat never seem to rust too bad so scrappies might be a option too

re: slow build 16v cinq

got the plate from the scrappy today for free :slayer:

did notice the sei sporting has M10 bolts for this to the chassis where the s Cinq has M8, so that's useful to note

started to rain as soon as the engine came out of the garage



plenty of clearance to the strut brace


clutch cylinder held in place, should be enough clearance here






didn't realise how far forward the engine sits either, very minor job to sort



Ash

re: slow build 16v cinq

Looking good, especially all the new shiny bolts. Is that the custom brace? Any problems shutting bonnet?

re: slow build 16v cinq

Looks like the sparco brace.

Everything is starting to come together now .

Doing your brakelines next?

Thanks

Ash

re: slow build 16v cinq

tiny update

flywheel is down to 4.65KG :slayer: im happy with that Thanks Tom

got a new Master cylinder as i didn't store the old one correctly and now not happy with how it feels

also got a re-con starter as it was going

all of the internal sound proofing of the floor is out just need to clean half of it up with white spirits, used and angle grinder with wire brush to get some bits off, big mistake made one hell of a mess :S

engine coolant hoses, 240 vented set-up on the front from Steven soon to be on its way

decided as im getting less time to work on the car im going to try and get the engine running in around 2 months as a milestone to motivate me in this weather

so to get the engine going i need to;
.re-do all fuel lines
.source punto sporting ECU and bits to run the engine
.install and repair sporting loom
.put on fuel tank and pump
.fit flywheel and clucth
.put some temp exhaust together just to fire it up
sure im missing something

need to get a full set of 14" steel's never would of thought id find them hard to get my hands on so i can take the car off stands and have the brakes

lets see if i can do it in time

Ash

re: slow build 16v cinq

Got the flywheel balanced up ok at work today so it'll be on it's way to you tomorrow

re: slow build 16v cinq

got some more bits done but weather is slowing body work down

.SS manifold came up on ebay so snapped that up
.going to run full flexi fuel pipes - on its way
.one of the rear callipers put back together - easier then i expected but fiddly
.fuel pump should be on its way down to me soon
.flywheel arrived gave it a clean and degreased

Ash

re: slow build 16v cinq

with this its just 1 step forwards and 2 steps back so going ot have a long break from this for a while

on my 3rd gearbox, recon starter i bought for a 1.1 is for a 899, fuel pump was thrown away
