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
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 ;)


i like to tell people the car was made by remoulding a post box :)
She does have one but seems to wear it more around me rather than the car :p lol

Love the car :) Good example of a quick cinq. Thinking of a 1.2 turbo conversion myself, bet it suprises a lot of people. Keep up the good work.


P.S. Love the vid you posted on YouTube :p
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

i'll be nice and reply for him as from last time i spoke to him.....im pretty sure its still awaiting the engine! but isn't in a great rush as he has a Uno T now
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

The engine is in now, to my knowledge that is where it is at. I think Alex told me it is needing a new refurbed Turbo too as the old one bit the dust and had loads of impellor play.

Just needs plumbing/wiring on top to finish I think.

Also a good T-Cut and clean out as it hasn't been used for like what seems years (18 months?!)

The Uno is going strong though.

Nice one Adz (y)

Thank god there's finally an update on this thread, everytime I see a new post on it I have to check and it keeps being people thread reviving with no updates :(

So has Alex finished building the new engine for it or are you buying it as is and building it back up?
 
Re: Alex22's Turbo Cinq (lotsa pics)

The engine is built and now running smooth . alex has a few things todo before mot then i can go get him :)
hope its soon so boring without a car :bang:
