Cinquecento Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics).

Introduction

At last he's back on the road and at last i've taken some piccies of him!

Basically first time round i manged to melt 3 of the pistons, so required was a re-bore and some fresh pistons (he says like money grows on trees :cry: )
While the car was apart i also replaced my EBC 'fast road' clutch with a stilo 1.4 16v one and, have ordered myself a new fuel pump and will be fitting a fuel pressure regulator.
We also have a nice new turbo from turbosmart who charged me £300 for what appears to be a reconditioned unit, rather than my own one repaired :yum:

When we removed the spark plugs we found one had actually broken which you will see in the pics.
i didn't take pics of all the pistons but the 2 i did focus on really say it all :(

the car is filthy in the pics so i'll put some decent ones up as soon as poss, i.e. after a wash :p i'll also snap some of the engine :)

anyways its nice to be turbo'd again :D (y)

i also have a nice sexy uno for sale if anyone's interested :chin: :D

Alex- Good stuff looking great (y) Finally :p


Think there needs to be a turbo meet soon :devil:


Aaron I too will also take that offer ;)
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Well Alex took me out for a spin in Turbo Cinq last night, was great fun :slayer:

Im glad to see Enzo is back on the road and bringing a smile to your face once again mate (y)
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Cheers for not slagging off the bonnet guys :eek:

I promise i'll get some decent pics up soon, i just havn't really had the time to go out and clean it and then take piccies.

will get on it (y)

I just ordered myself an escort RS2000 fuel pump :D so no more melted pistons for me :slayer:

I like the bonnet myself, knowing its a turbo makes it fitting imo. Out of curiosity, where do you get your pistons from then?

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Pistons came very kindly through Emz's Dad. Did have to wait a while tho as i think people were wary of a lot of cinq pistons being ordered :rolleyes: (my fault lmao)

Right these are pics taken today (thursday) Doesn't look so pink anymore does it :D
enjoyee :slayer: ... i am :) :D :eek: (y)

Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

I have no need to mock your bonnet, i've done that before. Safe to say its a contraversial mod but so long as you like it who cares, i'd have gone for louvres myself but sure you heard it all before.

PS> Enzo is looking much happier in thosee pics (y) what size wheel and tyre is it sitting on??

Quite a functional mod though :) The vent lets the cold air in just where the carbon airbox inlet is, so will get lots of nice cool air there - something louvres would have trouble achieveing as effectively :)

Looking good alex, glad its back on the road at long last :cool:

thanks for the positive responses people :)

They're Compomotive wheels, 5.5 x 13s they sit slightly further out the arches than the std cinq wheels :D and the rubber is Yokohama A539s @ 175/50/13 (y)
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

Looking very good Alex (y)

So how many miles have you done in it now? When you coming up for RR session? Cos Aaron and i will come along :D

thank yous :)

its done just over 1500 miles so far, new fuel pump and pressure regulator will be in on sat then i'll be up for my setup when my student loan comes through :eek: lol
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

OK after some promoting on MSN by Alex, the car looks in much better health than before, but I still do not like that moon crater, golf bunker (insert your own description here) on the bonnet, seen nicer holes in Jarlesberg cheese :eek: :D :p

Alex you know I jest, as long as you are happy and your girl hasn't bought a balaclava to wear when inside to hide her shame, then its all good ;)
