General 100HP project thread

[Wilqaeda]

So, now i'm doing more to my car, and also plan on getting many more bits and pieces for it over the next 2-3 months. I guess i ought to start a thread detailing it.

This is the 100hp in question;



So far i've serviced it, changed pads and discs all round and also changed tyres for uniroyal rainsport 2's (which were excellent last year.



I believe my little 100hp may have been a fiat press car at the beginning of its life as this is it in a review http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/fiat/fiat-panda-100hp-2007-road-test/, if anyone could clear this up for me i'd be grateful.

As some of you have seen i've vinyl wrapped the climate control surrounds, vents and started on the wing mirrors (only done 1 so far).




Today started on the exhaust system i want, ragazzon gr N with a std back box with just the tip changed. Unfortunately i spent most the morning dismantling a shed so didn't get to spend as much time as i would've liked to on it.



And a comparsion of old and new



Also got some abarth 500 shocks to fit tomorrow too but will post an update when done.

Good looking car. I'm picking my 100hp up next week so I'm sure there'll be a few mods on it soon.

Cheers!

Finished the exhaust today and put the abarth dampers on. The dampers made a huge difference, then again, the dampers that came off were absolutely shot. There was at least 1/2 inch of play in the top bushes.

The exhaust was a success, bit too bassy, and the ragazzon exhaust requires you to cut the current mid-section so i'm stuck with this setup now!

Pics time;

What mileage is your car? I may look at a damper upgrade in the future.

38k, the problem wasn't so much the shock as the top bushes. Absolutely nailed! There are a LOT of speedbumps where i live though so that might explain it?
