Just joined and want to know some options

Just joined up (ive said hi in the newbies bit already - http://www.fiatforum.com/newbie-cent...-sporting.html)

and was just wondering what tuning options are available for the cinq sporting?

Ive a mate with a couple (MK1 and MK2 uno turbo engines etc) just up the road..are they a viable option at all?

What about brakes? Im guessing theres a larger Fiat/Alfa/Lancia model that can give up its brakes to easily upgrage the cinq?

What about suspension? Whats the best bet here?

Ive never looked into whats out there on the tuning modification scene...am very interested in seeing what the commen options are...

Re: Just joined and want to know some options

FAQS is probably a good place to start... it depends on how deep your pockets are and how mental you wanna go...

All hail the power of the mods...



on a seperate random thought:
Wasn't there a tune called "march of the mods"?

Most mental so far has to be the Cossie Turbo one, but it can't be long before someone stuffs a Porsche Turbo motor (with the engine in the right place, I hope!) in one.

That would be the blue one with the Cossie engine? It was at Trax yesterday for those of you who went.
I can only think of one word to describe it.

"Tissue"

Hopefully you all get that
