Tuning Sprint & Hillclimb spec Cinquecento

For those without Facebook access here's the link to the Cinq at the Sprint Royale, this isn't the fastest run of the day as the mechanic/camera operator forgot to turn the camera off between runs and the battery went flat.

Last day at work tomorrow followed by 9 days off which means 9 whole days working on the Cinq so expect lots of daily updates......maybe even 9.
 
You probably already know this but that cam needs a better angle/position.
As much as you can see looking good.
 
I think what he meant was the camera angle in the car bud, with the power output and reliability of your car I can't see there being anything wrong with the cam timing haha.
 
I have changed the front strut tops to adjustable ones and also designed and fabricated a custom rear suspension setup with turreted coil over shocks and multi adjustable rose jointed pivots, this completely does away the standard Cinquecento rear beam.
 
As I no longer need to run the standard fuel tank in its original position this gave me option to have the main body mount for the suspension bolted to the healboard and then fix to it a pair of tubular trailing arms and use current model Panda bolt on rear hear hubs.

I'm also going to be looking into making some rose jointed adjustable front arms over the coming months.
 
Inspiring stuff. I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" a few ideas. ;)

It's been far to long so here's the latest update.
My new 1170cc engine built by Jon Wood has been set up on the dyno and is making some seriously good power.
Unfortunately the season has finished now so I wont be able to check out its full potential until next year. 20181006_182913.jpeg
