Seicento Zippy!!.

Introduction

finally got some pics sorted of my first seicento, hes a 899 sx with BIG plans :D

already done:

sporting front seats
fresh headgasket
full cat back powerflow system from a cinq sporting
35mm apex springs
abarth spoiler
black headlight mod

to come:

a set of 15" 7 spoke brava alloys (pics to follow)
full respray in capri blue (removing any knocks and dints along the way)
full polybush kit
gt front and rear brake conversion
full sporting loom transfer ready for a possible 1.4 16v conversion in a year or so (maybe a winter project (y)


He has a bit of a scrape on the front bumper but that will be changed for a sporting one before the planned respray so not too worrying at the moment


new seats front and rear £20 bargain from the local breakers (y)




Re: Zippy!!

Off the top of my head I think it was about 32mm??
Don't take my word for it though!

seis look soooooo much better debadged and dewipered, look sooo much tidier!

And I would consider covering the build in acoustic carpet, would look good and sound nice :)


cheers for the estimate lol i have just ordered some nice black acoustic carpet from the bay and now have the uv lights fitted so will get some pics up once ive covered it,

hopefully in the next couple of weeks i might even have some coilovers on order, currently after some standard sei sporting wheels (with tyres) aswell if anyone know of any or has any ??
also thinking of a sunstrip and window tints (y)

watch this space people

cheers

Re: Zippy!!

I can see a bright future for this beast! Personally I'd slam it and put 13" banded steels but im a euro man and mines in the making. You seem to only have front pipe, cat then back box! That right ? That should sound rasppy!

Cheers mate I'm looking at the 70/50 fk kit now hopefully for next month I want to do the pgt brake conversion eventually so 14s are going to be the smallest I can go altho euro with my own twist is the plan tho maybe some bbs style alloys been looking at options recently, as far as the exhaust goes it's quiet.... Tooo quiet, been looking at burning out some of the fibo wadding just unsure about how to do it ?? but the cat will be coming out soon as he's just passed his mot (y) plenty of little bits to do in the coming weeks tho

Cheers

Re: Zippy!!

as far as im aware the 70/50 kit by FK Automotive is discontinued. I rang FK.de the german site and they have none! Thats why i had to settle for the Spax Krypton Adjustable Kit which set me back £450, bbs hate 4 x 98 FACT...so id snoop around for some 4x98s on ebay. i know the (Chalky TB'd Sei) has got maserati rims on!! Ive got Cade Eros in black but were a B**ch to get on!! Pop a vid up of your exhust if poss? ive got front pipe_cat_silencer_back box and is really 'rasppy@ LOL!!
 
Re: Zippy!!

my sei had a supersprint 4-2-1 manifold, decat, and janspeed catback system and it didnt sound too raspy, it just sounded quite deep but nice :D

wish i made a decent video of it...

i had some old mk1 uno turbo cromodora wheels on my sei, looked pretty pimp, id recommend getting a set :D

and yes the 70/50 kit was discontinued, i tried to buy one the week they stopped making it.
ordered off venom motorsport, waited for about 8 weeks, phoned them up to ask where it was and they said "oh its discontinued"...

I'll see if I can get a vid of it but Im away this week camping with the missus :) still managed to get wifi tho (y) and whilst ive been away I got a great text from andys cinq to tell me he has some 195/45/15 tyres So maybe I'll have my bravo wheels on in the next few weeks (y)

Maybe gonna have to rethink the 70 50 kit but will have to see how it looks with the 15s on it

Any ideas on how to get rid of some of the wadding in the exhaust without cutting it about too much ??

Cheers

Re: Zippy!!

Finally got a pic of the wheels that are going on and after going to see andyscinq today to pick up some rubber for them (300 mile round trip :D ) he didn't miss a beat totally loved andys two cinq's and hopefully I'll be able to get some pointers once he has finished his conversion so I can do mine :)

Anywho..... Update lol

Here's a pic that i promised a while back

6x15 bravo wheels refurbed in black hopefully be on zippy in the next few weeks (y)

Re: Zippy!!

Looks good what size tyres u getting put on ?

Hey mate I've just put 195/45/15s on them I'm after some 5mm spacers at the moment as the front tyre hits the arb at the front and the rear catches on the rear arm mounts (n)

Also I'm looking at wheel stud conversion any links or info or if anyone has done this would be appreciated

I have some sneak peek pics of the wheels on the car that hopefully get inhere tomorrow evening

Cheers guys

Re: Zippy!!

how much you get these wheels for then? tyres on 195/45/15 are going to set you back at least £200min unless you want buget crap.
Might be worth looking in clasified see what you can get with tyres already on them before you go out and buy tyres...

and if your lowering bud.. sorry but 15s will be a tight fit.

keep up the work!

Tyres are on mate and they fit and spin freely on the fronts they just rub slightly on the arb on full lock

I got the tyres from andyscinq on the forum for £20 part worms for the set all I had to do was pick em up

Gotta get some paint and some spacers and a stud kit then they will be on (y)

Already 40mm on apex springs

Cheers for the input

Re: Zippy!!

looking good!(y) i had a 1.1 in red, i had abarth side skirts, boot spoiler 13" new panda alloys and then dropped it by 35mm (i think?) awsome little car, now sadly in the great scrap yard in the sky?:( ......... miss him sometimes?

Cheers for the comment buddy I've been lusting over your stilo for the last few days (y)

He's already on 35mm apex springs, currently after some shocks and some spacers so I can drop it some more (y)
