Hey yo .

As promised, the yellow one was due a project after the honda was done .

Steve (clock34 brought the engine up ) Took us one day to take the engine out and put the 16v in . Anyway here is just a pic for a wee taste. Will upload all the pics tomorrow:

Steve is currently staying over at mine, and we will be working on wiring the D4 tomorrow!

Thanks
Ming

that second photo i didnt know the cinq was powered like the flintstones mobile

tis funny that was just speaking to mark about doing something similar to my sei take notes and put a full guide up please saves me a bit of a hassle

what engine you using ??

lol, will do mate .

Just the mk1 punto sporting. After i get this running right, then the 1.4 16v will just be a case engine out and engine in !!

Ming

Bloddy hell Ming, you've been busy palying musical cars at your house then, moved the Del sol and Gary's Civic!!

I think you might need a special diff to get all that power down.

Cheers

We actually don't have an idea with the wiring .............. there are enough information on the topic. But the things is, everyone seems to have done it differently.....

Thanks

LOL Steve! Ming doesn't log out of websites as I discovered once!! so youv'e obviosly crossed 1 wire somewhere to have the fuel pump running constantly on the ignition!! Supprised at that as Ming's already done 1 conversion, but suppose newer car & bigger engine to what the Red Cinq had origninally!!

How long you staying @ Ming's then Steve??

Could start up a Cento conversion biz :laugh:

Looking good though, need to have a go in a small Fiat at some point see what all the fuss is about - not that I'm hinting or anything :wink:

Last time I drove a small(ish) Fiat was my Dad's old Uno and that cornered on it's door handles or at least that's what it felt like from going down country roads at "some" miles per hour. Guessing the Cinq's and Sei's are somewhat different lol

LOL which 1242cc though Ming? Red Rocket or Yellow Perill?? gonna be interesting your'e Yellow beast having a 1.2 engine and still be practical (all it's seats), could be and interesting race, Red v Yellow although Red would probs win as less weight!!

Rob! you think the Uno's were bad? just try corenering in a panda, jees they don't half have BAD body roll, take it easy on roundabouts, and if it's wet crawl round bends or roundabouts! where as in the Sei yes it does have a little bit of body roll but not very much, just brace your'e self when overtaking HGV's as your'e sitting about halfway up their wheels and that's at standard ride height!

Next time we have a meet I think you should have a go in my Sei & either Ming's Yellow Cinq or Red Cinq (depending on which he brings along), and see what you think of them, before you think about downsizing from your'e Stilo!

Don't think the yellow one will be ready anytime soon ... that's it sorn and insurance moved to the honda. But yeah have a go in the red one .
