Well I can honesty say she drives great and I've absolutely missed driving a cento it's so nice being i a car with all the modern features like pass abs ect
Clutch still slips it's slowly starting to slip less and less maybe the clutch is deglazing now if it was infact glazed before
Or I could be just me getting used to driving it without having the clutch slip
Probs going to run a fused live from the battery tomorrow so I can actually have a radio

So the cinq finally has audio yes!!!
Turned out to be a faulty earth causing all the issues
So she's now got a proper ISO with all the rear speaker outputs so if anyone seen what I did with the quarter panels on my idea Sei basically the same idea with some kenwood 6x9s I've got in the garage if they still work
Headunits a pioneer Mvh-x370bt
Pioneer sub not sure on the model but definitely want to take it out of the small sealed box it's in
Logic soundlabs amp

No project is ever finished no doubt I'll find more stuff that needs sorting down the road
Do you mean driving a car without pass & abs
I like the police style dish detail
So what is an 899 like compared to the sportings?? I've never been in one.

Yeah that one lmfao
And well it's fairly slow compared to a sporting it feels like it wants to roll over every 5 seconds but it's still just as fun

Had a slight mishap on the way to work battery light decided it wanted to come on pulled over popped bonnet to find a broke aux belt thought ah ill limp it to work the realised it not a fire engine and the waterpumps driven by the aux belt so it was abit of a panic with the heater flat out with the hopes I don't over heat
But good news it's all good now

Is it an older style v belt on the 899? The flat type belts don't seem to break very often.
It'd be boring driving without excitement like this ?

Much up with the 156? Any plans to fit sporty suspension to the 899?
OP
OP
The 156 just needed a turbo then the old man went mad spending money on it drilled and groved discs and green stuff pads
And I do actually have a set of fk 70/50 springs coming for the 899 let's see how long it'll take to kill the standard shocks that low lmfao
So would that be 90/70 on an 899 or 50/30 on a sporting?
I'd love a set for my Sei. It's not the same without shorter springs.

As far as i'm aware it's a sporting kit so 90/70 on an 899
Yeah and totally agree this Cinq feels so different compared to my other seis that have been lowered
Have you seen the hot air gun treatment on utube for the plastic bumpers?
OP
OP
Yeah seen it a few done a few times I do need to get around to giving it a detail because there's water marks and some oily handprints on the drivers door
