Yellow - FS Project Seicento 2

imported_abyss113 · 28-08-2010

well since the seicentos engine is not behaving the way it should have now sourced a new engine to replace it with a punto 1.2 8v engine so me and mark headed down to newcastle earlier today to pick it up for much cheapness and have it currently sitting in the boot of the bravo which done a very good show today of having a full tank giving 760 miles to the tanks range and covering 400 miles today has used up just over half a tank giving a constant 60mpg all the way down and back up again

so plan of action is rebuild this engine from ground upwards in the shed making it like new then popping it in the seicento

cheers again mark for the hand with the engine

good plan

nae bother

was a good trip today

got soaked in newcastle though

one specific highlight of the day was the guy in the car park at dinner time getting confused and opening the bravos boot whilst we were sitting in it eating thinking it was his car, lol

no appoligies, just a quick "oh sh*t" from him and a hasty getaway

imported_abyss113 · 29-08-2010

haha yeah forgot about him opening the boot

would have been funnier if he put his shopping in the boot though could have done a runner with it

Venters · 30-08-2010

What shocked him more? Realising it wasn't his car or opening the boot and seeing an engine. lol

Interesting developments on the Seicento front and lol at the guy mistaking your car for his :laugh:

have now sourced the fabled 866 cam and its on its way soon

still dont believed it happened really me and mark sitting in the car minding our own business and eating our pasta

then bam boot opens and a shriek of "OH ****" is heard from the back of the car

ycming · 01-09-2010

Have you checked and made sure your 1242 engine doesn't have a 866 cam in it already ?

imported_abyss113 · 01-09-2010

hmm never thought of that

anyone want an 866 cam

ill have to have a look

Stuart · 01-09-2010

whats the 866 cam?

mrcinquecento · 01-09-2010

866 cam is a cam from a punto 75

seriously dubt that engine will have one, it's from an automatic punto, worth a check anway

Stuart · 01-09-2010

is that an upgrade on these engines i presume?

cheap upgrade, offers higher lift.

Hmm think rally cinq had trouble fitting the auto 1242 engine to Purple.
