Cinquecento my new cinqi

Introduction

couldnt live without a cinq :) so i bought a new one :D

Red 1996/7 (dunno) cinq sporting in rosso red. genuine abarth skirts from factory.. everything else standard :)

I HATE THE STANDARD CINQ SUSPENTION heh. feels like its gonna topple over.. nearly shat myself taking corners like i could take my old one heh.. not a good idea :p

noticed problems since ive got it (an hour ago).. think the passenger side rear hub has gone.. not a prob tho, easy fix. and there is some rust on the inner rear arches in the boot but ill tackle it asap :)

other than that, its great :D im happy again! its got a dent in the bonnet but they are easy to replace anyway so ill pick one up in a week or so... MUST LOWER before i fly off the road. oh yeah and i broke the handbrake on my test drive :) although i think the cable has just come loose rather than snapping but again, easy to replace so ill have a better look another day :)

seems slow compared to the tunned 1242 :p

anyway, pics! oh and ital be at stanford on sunday on the FF area so come find me!

Latest updates

After york i decided that the cinq was too much fun to drive without the back seats in and that they wernt going back in! i wasnt particularly happy with the way the bare floor looked so i decided it was time to build a race floor :D

im pretty sure ive done the most stupid thing i could ever thing of though, ive finished the floor, bolted down and "carpeted" and ive just realised ive left a few spanners under the floor :( so ive gotta take the whole thing up and redo it :(

ah well.. ive also taken out the spare as i wouldnt have been able to get to it anyway unless I made a door type thing but I only thought of that after ide laid and glued all of the supporting beams and it would have needed more work to do a door :) plus hindges and stuff which i dont have!..

anyway

piccies!

:D ok they are only temporary, or atleast the tyres are.. they are huge 10"+ wide racing wets .. the tyres are so wide that you cant turn the steering properly with em on the front (hence why they arent on).

these are the 7" wide minilites that were on ebay, i have 175/50s on order but i couldnt resist putting em on with these tyres and going for a drive lmao.

looks rediculous! the tyres are atleast an inch wider than the rim on either side and are actually taller than 15s on 195/45s so are pretty big as u can see :D

cant wait till the 175s come! you should have seen some of the looks as i was driving around.. priceless :p
