Cinquecento Cinq Turbo; better quality pics!

fantastic! i love the pics and i would love to try a turbo version!

you have a very nice car!

looking good man

that is friggin gorgeous

Very nice man looking good

Thats nice looking cinq great to see another one the correct colour
BUT........it looks like a monster truck and it needs lowering! Only jokin buddy lol.
sorry but you asked for that one

Supercinqi!

Have you thought of putting in another ornamental gasket on the front left?

That looks nice, like to see the sig on the back from Van Aaken as well. I have only see a few turbo cinqs with them on. It is the high isn't it? 0.6? Did you have the thicker headgasket spacer put it or the piston machined down?

Firstly cheers for all the feedback guys!

You know I got one off Chubbston last week which was painted red from its original black and I kinda ruined it by trying to remove the paint with Nitromorse, I may still be able to recover it with some sandpaper, but I'm not sure!

Anyone got a black one spare?

Yeah if you see some of the threads in the Cinq section you'll see its running more like 0.8bar now, but yes it is the hi-boost VAd kit and to achieve the low compression its new pistons that were fitted and I have recently fitted a Spesso Group N head gasket along with a 40mm throttle body and a stage 3 ported & polished head.

Very nice

Good photos. Looks like u spent ages cleanin it like me. Best weather for it today until it got sunny.

Is this the new 4X4 panda



(Good job but I had to say that, it needs springs like I need pies )

Lol^^^^^

Cool car though, I bet you surprise alot of people with that

Ok, I pointed it out previously and I won't bring it up again.

Ok, cracking seats, old school rims, nifty HU but does it work?, VA Decal-only those in the know will know what that means!!

Quality Cinq only thing is the front bumper, bit iffy for me.

Yeah the seats are fantastic, even better support than the Recaro's in the integrale, just need recovering. I have just about enough of the Fiat fabric to re-do it as you can see it has the old Fiat 4 line badge in it, bit it's a hard fabric to track down as I would like some to recover the back seat to match.

the HU works as it should.

The bumper has to be like this cos if you look closely you will see the intercooler and oil cooler sitting behind it, if bumper left as it is would not get any air flow, function leads form Tho I have considered if the Abarth bumper would do the same function, but look factory.

That cinq looks awesome m8 ! I love the white wheels and the seats (isn´t that the same pattern on the seats as the fiat Uno turbo seats?) My mum had an Uno turbo -89! And I don´t think you should lower.....it looks great as it is!!!

Nah, the Abarth is no good, Pete tried it and says it runs hotter, I know why it was meshed but the parts left in for structural reasons kinda ruin it, wonder what other bumpers could suit it without being OTT or out of the ordinary?

Yeah up could be right on the fabric pattern, I'm sure I read somewhere that Fiat commissioned some Italian designer to come up with it for the Strada 130TC Abarth, but know it's no longer available. Just need to hope I come across someone breaking a car with an intact back seat I can rob of the covers to get some more as I like it, keeps it Fiat.

The wheels can also be found on an UNO Turbo only in 13" rather than the 14" mine are.

Aaron.

It looks great I like it. Very shiny too which is always good. And do those knees come with the car?!

One thing, how do you get to the back seats?!

lol, knees included!

the seats are proper tilt jobs, hard to explain but the back moves independently from the seat if you follow my description, theres is a little knob which is visable in the pic at the bottom rear of the seat which unhooks the back to let it tilt forward, as the Strada Abarth was a 3 door car, so no worries there!

Aaron.

Where did you found those seats?
