Seicento The Original Seicento 1.4 16v

Introduction

For those who haven't heard or seen this car, here she is!

It has the 1.4 16v with 6 speed box found in stilo's, puntos panda and new500, and is believed to be the first in the UK with this conversion.
Although there is another one on the road now and maybe a few in the pipe line.

It has been running for nearly a year now and i've put 7000 miles in that time, so the engine has now covered 15 - 16 k, and just passed its MOT with flying colours!

Recently had it on the rolling road again for some power runs and fuel check up, and is running 92bhp and the wheels which is about 113bhp at the flywheel.

Had various modifications,

Emerald ECU
CDA induction
Supersprint manifold
Rover k series throttlebody 45mm
Punto GT brake setup front and rear.
Kerr nelson ignition leads
Raid oil and water temp gauges
Seicento Abarth 14" rare multispoke alloys
KW suspension kit lowers 40mm.

Also some subtle styling changes like, black vinyl on b pillar and panda sport optional pedals. Oh and new 100 16v badge on the back!

:worship:

Why only 92bhp with all them mods?. Mine was running 103bhp standard :eek:

All what mods, an ECU to run it, an air filter to filter air to it, a tubular exhaust to make it fit inside engine bay, its not actually that much.

That's at the wheels, it has over 113bhp at flywheel. And a 103bhp as standard, not a chance, they are rated at 95bhp in the Stilo and Punto and 99
in Panda and 500.

And after reading yet another report on the Panda 100hp, 1st one Performance Tuner mag about a year back when they pitched it against an Ignis Sport https://www.fiatforum.com/lets-talk-fiat/106642-performance-tuner-mag-panda-100hp-v-s.html, this time from EVO mag where they timed it at Brungtingthorpe doing a 0-60 time of 10.7secs (no cars not sick PT got 10.8secs, so I'd say consistent) and a truly shocking 0-100mph time of 46.2secs using proper timing equipment, I would say that the engine is at the very best 99bhp.

This car weighs some 120kgs (810 V's 930kgs) lighter than a Panda 100hp and sure the Punto is at least the same, if not even heavier, so performance will be even slower. Whereas this car is quick.
