Seicento Another yellow Schumacher

Looks cool. Its a shame they stopped fitting the red belts to the Seicento. I guess it was just cost cutting?

The rear bumper is a little faded on mine. Also happened on a yellow Cinq I had which was mint. I think it's common.

BTW Have you felt how much the rear headrest weigh?!! ? they come out easily. Depends on how often you carry rear seat passengers I guess.

Yeah the seatbelts are nice matches the whole "schumacher theme" with the red an yellow

And mine needs painting in places and I'm too scared to book it in at work for repairs because the paints faded that bad it wouldn't match even in person it doesn't look the faded but get the colour chip the same paint coded and it's way off

The headrest are quite heavy for what they are I don't like them Imho prefer the look of the spi with no rear headrests

Have you tried the colour restorer polish? If you can get it in yellow....

Otherwise see it as patina.

Have you seen those pale yellow/gold Peugeots, they fade very badly, almost till they are silver on the top

I'm not sure if it came out the factory like it as it's only a 1242 8v

It was a dealer option front and back bumper and side skirts. Very rare like the Chinq abarth. People didn't really buy them and spend loads on extras because they tended to be frugal cars... small and economical etc

The 5 door front bunker is different to the 3 door hgt front. Very rare imo

I bought a nos one for my 5 door

Nice to know its grown on mye abd im not a massove fan of mk2s everything genuine in the way of the the kit all fiat stamped ect

Mk 2s are okay as long as the heater matrix doesn't go bad ? and the subframe doesn't rot away...

After a few mounts of saying I'm going to get them I've actually got my freebe gt2 front brakes I've got got rear callipers but I don't think there gt2 I think there mk2 rears as they are on a mk2 punto atm

So got around to doing one side going to the other side tomorrow had a little play with my other 16mm spacers and basically made a 32mm spacers looks good deffo fancy some 25mm on the front and the 16s on the back but anyway his some pictures

Other side done got my rear discs aswell just need to order the mounts off eBay tomorrow

Got bored over the last few days so decided to go out and have a little play with the parts I've got so ordered myself another 80mm stud kit some ff stickers so what I did with the stud kit was out My other set of 16mm spacers on the back
Also had abit off a mess around with some stuff I had lying around at home to make an induction kit
Also swapped out the sub to a 12" pioneer in a sealed box also waiting for a new amp I brought on ebay to come so I can use my 4awg wiring kit with 8awg reducers instead of having a disto block
And here's a video of the induction kit

So a pretty big update for me atleast went scrapyard today and found something I've spent months hoping would pop up

Oh yes a p75 scrap yard find so clearly I would do what anyone else would grab the engine or head well there we are I got the head off £50 later I've got a awesome deal and one very happy james

Well "what are you going to do with that I hear you cry"
Well I was going to put it on my 1108 but just so happens I broke a punto for friend and happend to have his mpi 1242 sat spare for mothers punto as that needs valve stem seals so I did a swap with my dad mom has my engine/head with the 866 in for the 1242 so that's what the heads going on so here's a few pictures already got the head off and the p75 head on for safe keeping now

So list of parts I need
.head gasket set
.head bolts
.timing belt kit
.bolts and seal for the 899 bob
.cluch,quadrant and cluch cable as might aswell do it when the engines out
.plugs
.oil filter
If anyone else can think of anything just say anyway here's a few pictures off head and engine ect

Head cleaned should have got it skimmed really but it seem alright and wasn't warped

Had to clearance the head slightly to use the mpi cam pully
Don't think I have any close up pictures of what It looked like after

Block also cleaned

Also painted the rocker cover looks **** as it was way to cold to paint I'll do it properly when it warms up abit but here's the basic idea

Head all bolted back on and ready for cambelt and exhaust manifold and rocker cover all bolted on

And also new down pipe ordered to make fit

Rocker cover on cambelt fuel rail changed and inlet off to be drilled and tapped to take the map sensor as suggested by Lecook and The Black Box

So went to the scrapyard again Saturday and found some pgt wheels to go with my other set that are alot cleaner and less curbed all for the price of £60 And also decided to buy moms punto off her to run around in while the seis off the road having an engine change

Nice pinto. As I said before I have never seen a 5 door with dealer abarth kit on the road. Pretty rare beast. If only ever seen pics online.

Loads of hgts about though.

Has it got the optional subwoofer in the boot? I fitted one to mine which was a nice upgrade which uses wasted space behind the c pillar.
