| Description |
Here I have my beautiful Turbocharged Seicento Sporting for sale.
Offers/part EX (for something with rear seats) welcome
97bhp 104 ft/lb
Fiat enthusiast owned and cherished, the decision to sell has been a long and hard one. The arrival of our first child has forced the decision that this car would now be better re-homed.
Car is well known amongst Fiat enthusiasts, and has attended countless shows around the country, winning 1st place awards in club concourse.
I have modified the car to be suitable for use on track days, but still keeping its good looks and practicality as a road car - not to mention turbo fun! At the same time treating and caring for the car with high quality products preserving it as a show car. You can see your face in the paintwork its that deep a shine! The new owner of this car will not be disappointed!
This car is a real head turner both in performance and looks. IF IT’S ATTENTION YOU WANT THEN THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU!!
A lot of time, care and money has been spent on this little gem, with no expense spared, with £5K plus spent.
Low mileage, extremely clean car, washed and waxed to the point of obsession by current Lady owner, using a huge range of high class Auto Glym products.
Comes with 8 months MOT, flies through every time.
The cars low boost Van Aaken turbo conversion kit was prompted by me and fitted professionally by Van Aaken them selves. Since completion of this conversion I have followed the operation and service instructions to the letter, paying particular attention to the warming up and cooling off instructions.
Engine Modifications
Engine was upgraded to a 1242cc Fire engine from a Punto Automatic (November 2004).
Van Aaken Low boost Turbocharger kit fitted by Van Aaken Developments Ltd. (August 2005), at approx 43.5K miles (only 8K ago!). The kit contains the following components:-
* Garret T15 Turbocharger
* Custom Exhaust Manifold
* Custom stainless steel exhaust down pipe
* Van Aaken MF2 Map sensor to match fuelling and timing
* Second fuel Injector mounted above throttle body
* Stainless Steel sports cat converter.
Further Modifications
* Uprated aluminium radiator
* Mocal Oil Cooler
* Pipercross cold air feeds
* Magnecor KV85 HT leads
* Janspeed stainless steel exhaust
* Battery relocated to rear.
The engine bay is finished to show standard with a number of bolts converted to stainless steel, pipes uprated to braided or Samco (blue).
The engine is currently running a very reliable 97BHP at 0.3 Bar boost. The boost can be raised a little more, but I decided to run the car at 0.3 bar while I got used to the power increase. I have always been happy and so decided to leave as is. With the extra torque this Seicento is very quick off the mark.
Transmission

BAD POINTS (minor)
Light scuffing to alloys (I get asked all the time at events to sell them, they are now discontinued and sought after, I have refused to part them from the car as I think they suit it so well, hope the new owner thinks so too!)
Stone Chips to bonnet-because it goes so fast hehee!, In all seriousness these are just normal stonechip damage to be expected on a 8year old car but worth pointing out.
Oil temp sensor needs wiring up.
