![]() | My new Cinquecento abarth ( R ) now 1.2 MPI Hi , Ive done it again , I now own my second cinquecento .. so now i own a 1242 8v "sx" which some of you may know ... i seen it advertised for sale in the classifieds so spoke to the lad selling it , arraged a date to view it 740 miles later , theres 2 cinquecentos sitting on my drive got it home , Replaced the bat, ( tryed starting it when we picked it up but it was dead so had to jump start it with leads ) With the new bat on it started first turn of the key , also gave the Rear arches/ boot floor a Good coat of wax oil , to help it stop rusting , as its Sold as 100% rust free ,,, just found a little bit on the back arch , so addressed that asap also the front brakes seem a bit poor . so started giveing them a good clean just need to get another tyre to put on my alloys then its mot time bit of specs on the car ...( Ripped from the Advert) A nice, tastefully modified Cinquecento Sporting Abarth. She has been on the forum for a long long while now and i hope she continues to be. I have owned her since December ‘07. Car is mad cheap to insure and is group 2. Small, nippy and easy to park and drive. LOW MILAGE! Only 64,000 miles! I ride a bike almost all year round. Registered in the last year of the cinquecento before the seicento. Car is registered in ’98 on an R plate. I put brand new bilstein shocks and eibach springs, the original dampers were knackerd but i still have the original springs. Most of her history is in pictures on the forum due to her FF owners, and she has been spoilt rotten. I have a massice thick folder of history. Anyway, here is the list of mods: Exterior: -100% RUST FREE! -Bodywork and paint in original factory Imola blue and in great condition - Genuine Fiat Abarth (stamped) front and rear bumpers, side skirts and spoiler with brake light. - Black vinyled B pillars - 3 x 13" speedline Alloys (see below) -Rare 14” Punto Abarth speedline Alloys - Bilstein gas charged shocks - Eibach -35mm lower springs - Janspeed Stainless steel exhaust - Red dot front discs -Pressed numberplate Interior: - Black seat belts instead of standard red ones (clash with leather) - A sunroof that doesn't leak! - Full Leather Interior; front and rear seats, door cards and gear stick gaitor. - Abarth Steering wheel. - Abarth tax disc holder - Abarth mats Engine: Runs beautifully, one of the things that most impressed me about this car. The FIRE series engine still runs like a sewing machine and never let me down. - Polished rocker cover. - Magnecor 85mm HT Leads - Sparco Adjustable strut brace. - 1108cc with 1240 P60 head - Punto 75 cam - 40mm webber Throttle body - ECU is McCritch chipped - Beautifull one-off Italian Performance Carbon Fibre Induction Kit - Thatcham Cat.1 Toad Alarm Ai 606 - Remote Central Locking. - Car is de-cat but i have a cat for MOTs - pioneer front speakers, tweeters on a-pillars and infinity 6x9s. - Spare wheel and original tool kit Well spent Almost all day today ( 26 feb) doing Wash, Dry , clay with quick detailer, Wash, Dry , Polish with auto glym super resin , poorboys black hole , Poor boys Spr ( i think it was) , then One layer of wax , need to do another one tomorrow morning , but as it is its Shiny , Spent today (27th) booking a mot , paying insurance , changeing my wheels over , replaceing blowen bulbs , changeing my radio over pics to follow
