Cinquecento My '93 1.4 16v Cinquecento

Introduction

Hi everyone,

After best part of ten years with various Italian cars, I'm now back where I started.... with a Cinq!!

I bough it already converted to 1242 16v power but it will be undergoing a lot of work to improve and tidy bits here and there.

Since buying it I've swapped the K&N for a CDA, I've re-fitted the orange front indicators and flushed the coolant and fitted a cleaner expansion tank. Alternator belt changed, that's fun with the engine mount being so close! Major service coming soon as well.

Please excuse the crappy pictures, my phone is rubbish!!

Has a 1.6 16v Bravo TB, RR'd at 89bhp:

With my standard Seicento Sporting:

Lots of stuff on the to do list including fitting Spax kit (ordered), move the battery back in to the engine bay, moving ECU to other side of engine bay, polybush nearly everything I can buy a polybush for, put rear seats back in, upper and lower strut bar and fit Uno turbo calipers! Should keep me busy!

Lots more little jobs need doing, car has been keyed so that needs doing as well. I might upgrade to a 1.4 at some point but I won't get too carried away yet!

Overall though it's a cracking little car, so much fun and once I've sorted a few bits (mainly the brakes and the suspension!!) it should be fantastic.

Car is a bit different now.

Brief spec:
Rebuilt, balanced 1.4 16v, ported head with ITBs and swiatek cams,
Omex 600 ecu
Hi-spec 4 pot brakes, rear discs
Fully stripped out and caged
RSX locking diff
18 litre fuel tank and twin pump setup
Fibreglass boot and bonnet (hence the matte black)
13x7 Force Racing SLR 3 piece wheels and 13x7 JBW minilights

Lots of other stuff

Now that blu73 has reminded me of forums I'll post some more updates and stuff done so far.

Looking back on this thread, I've made many promises about when the car will be done but now it seems like it might actually be soon but we shall see.
