yeah its been off road most of time but its gone now i no longer own her so i thought id get a few last pics up, 130bhp really nippy, alot of fun spent alot on her, but it was time i hope ya enjoy, it was tight and it was the first, so if new owner says hes done it he has not, he'll prob wirte it off.














y871odt what a legend

nicely done.so how would you describe the swap?in terms of how much of a nightmare or not

I love that interior, and the UT lump doesn't half look a bit of a squeeze. Outcome worth it though no doubt.

looks gorgeous!!

any more pictures of the speakers installed in the door?? how hard was it to do?? fit ok and not hit window?

i think it was initially hard but lad who did it got cracked on, it was worth it when it ran oh yes, but there was little probs all time only minor, so i bought a new car and then decided to get rid, so its gone now, speakers ram did them think it was quite easy and no it dont hit owt, pics err yeah ill try tomoz

Love the seats and the outside is still quite sleeper!

Tell us some stories!

Liam

god i fookin love that...

im tellin ya right now, if i could afford it, id pay a garage to do that to my cento tomorrow!!!

when i was first lookin at cinqs 3 years ago i said i always wanted 1 with a uno turbo lump it in :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Im sure it is still in the area wardy, i think ive seen it knocking about.

How is the current project going?

The seats look amazing, i would let you abuse me for those seats if you was sellin them

How much do you reckon you spent overall on the whole car?

sorry i didnt clean it, it was on its way within half hour, its in mirfield now so yeah its about hes only had it a day so you might not of seen it, 18886 quid last time i counted including servicing and repairs and mods, so quite a bit, seats were 800 quid easily the best part apart from engine when it was running, sorry to see it go but id done what i wanted and it started getting silly figures, 4 1/2 year a load of money, alot of races won it was great, it had its down moments tho too.

stories loads my man, dont get me wrong it went straight off of the 120mph clock so god knows top speed, the acceleration was the main point really, cant beat a good race off of lights, 4 points for a race with a 265bhp rst last year didnt pull away before we got caught, suprised scoobies lol and all other things big, r5 turbo other year couldnt get away i had to slow down, same wi a hgt bravo lol, bet he thought wtf seicento wi just fogs on, stuck to his back bumper i was laughing my arse off, punto hgt too he used to laugh at me in 1.1, one day wi lump in it he was with hs bird and i got to side of him lol racing down town, just sat at the side of him looking at him pointing and laughing should of seen his face, one ill never forget prelude 2.2 vtec the new shape, pulled up at side of lights looked at me and my mate and laughed at us, set off proper on it, 3rd gear pulled a little on it then i was gone got to roundabout say 1/4 mile six t seven car lengths in front who was laughing then, a car thats does 60 in 6.8 secs lol, gt puntos too no chance lol, alot of races over time its been great alot of fun, it dont handle as good wi turbo lump in it due to weight but it still has its plus points, guy who re built it drove it other day and i was like i can get rid but in end i had to and i aint ashamed to say i did shed a tear, proper legend and i love it to bits, new project is coming on steady but i might end up changing my mind and getting something different again

Complete sleeper, absolutely gorgeous mate, i'd have shed more than 1 tear letting that go! So if thats the last project, what the new one!!

first time seen pics, nice!

mind me asking how much you got in the end matey?

you know what i mean one tear it was a bit more than that, 3000 quid it went for, so hes got a bargain really lots of potential

Car:- Impressed

Tales of street racing:- Seriously unimpressed

Cheers

I would have become your slave if you had sold me that for 3k :yum:

I've always had a hankering for a red leather interior like that after my mate got one of those Rover 200 BRMs, lurvly.

I'd have loved that, only gripe would've been slam panel (was it in a smash or painted black? or a modified one for the 1-4 turbo?) and the engine bay but i've no doubt with a bit of time and money that could've been one bling engine/bay

i would assume they fitted a new one as it was easier to mod out of the car?
would have been better painted though

it had a bump thats why its black and i was really low on cash at that point, yes i was going to tidy it up and spend a s**t load on the engine but when i got offered corsa i changed my mind im afraid, it was already 19k, anymore it would be very ott, regret getting rid in away tho.


richcinq= answer to your pm, 1st its not mine now but i was the creator, os engine mount is the unoturbo one with an extra piece of metal to strengthen it,sorry no pics, it does catch on gearbox on full lock as it is so wide, its also cable gearshift made on to the existing rods for the uno t gearbox, everything is unot apart from rad and fan which is punto gt in 1.1 housing, intercooler is off a meriva and obviously header tank

Splendid car. If you ever feel like writing a HowTo.........

well it was all my idea, i only worked on it a little, a lad did all converting and another did re building so i wouldnt be able to tell you lot, it involved cutting varios bits out and load of other work lol
