Introduction

Hi folks, it's about time ah got an MM thread of my own for my wee silver Cinq Sporting. Registered in June 98 on an R plate. 5 previous owners when ah picked it up in October 08. The car has run brilliantly since ah got it an it came with a bit of history too (which can be rare these days)

4years MOT Certificates and receipts for,
Sept 07 - New Cambelt, Spark Plugs, Aux. Drive belt, Engine/Gear box Oil - £276.13 FIAT Carlisle
Sept 07 - New Cooling Fan - £106.46 FIAT Carlisle
June 08 - New Centre Silencer & Backbox - £159.22 Hi-Q Carlisle

Pictures taken pre-MOT (Sept 09) Lowering springs are fitted, although it turned out the rear two were snapped.

Here's how the car has looked up till now, standard rear springs

Mods to come,
FK Cinq/Sei 70/50 suspension kit http://www.venommotorsport.com/produ...ory=Suspension Delivered
Eibach camber bolts http://www.venommotorsport.com/produ...ory=Suspension Delivered
B-pillar blacked out, Saturday
Suspension & Anti-roll bar bushes www.strong-flex.eu Product ID: 066074A (April although plans could change)
14" Abarth Speedline 5 Spoke alloys, need to sort out new tyres & spacers once suspension has settled

Av measured the height of all four corners and will post them up with some pictures of the suspension kit on.

No performance mods needed yet, nippy enough for me, even rocking on down the motorway. Especially through the Pennines M6 J38 Tebay > J36 Kendal :slayer:
lol, well hopefully either in or before sept im putting a new engine in so mine will be up for sale with all mods attached. so if your interested?? :p:p haha

Still need to remove the manifold flexi pipe and give the engine bay a good clean :)

Got a couple more plans brewing :chin: so much for not modding it :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:
 
Re: Cinq goes ROAR!!

there slightly lumpier cams. so a tiny bit more bhp and abit more torque lower down as far as i beleive. but i could be wrong.. ive got one and never noticed anything but other people says it smooths the revs down.

but i did fit mine at the same time as everything else...

It shifts the torque curve up by 500 rpm :).

i really dnt know if its worth doing tho..

is it worth all the effort of re-shimming, taking apart the head etc?


its the same as with the mckrich. mixed opinions about both that and the 866 cam, different people say different things...
