Seicento 1.4 Uno Turbo'd Seicento Rebuild Thread

[sei16v]

Heres an update on the turbo beasty....

Ive finished the exhaust, thats now fitted, with new hangers and gaskets etc... Sounds much quieter than the blowing exhaust, which is nice!!

Ive also trimmed the rest of my door panels in the suede, and refitted them all...

I have also fitted the buckets in and gave them a trial sit... pretty tight fit for my behind lol... feel good tho!!

Also sorted some dodgy wiring on the headlights and indicators...

Just the cold start valve, washer bottle, roof lining, bodywork and horn to sort out now

Looking good. Got a pic of the exhaust fittted?

ALso, where do you run your main power lead via, and how have you passed it to the starter and alternator?

Gutted mine today, totally bare apart from the front seats lol. Gonna be rewiring over next few days.

The power cable.... hmm haha, pass...

Think it runs down the drivers side of the car inside the bodywork, through a grommet to the starter/alternator..

So why are you re-wiring then?

 

[randomizered]

YEah, I saw it runs down the drivers side, but couldn't see where it came out.

With regards to my rewiring, it has been a mess for a while. I just spen over £100 on wires, fuse holder, relays etc. I am going to be bolting the battery in the boot or behind the front seat, and then the majority of my wiring will be under the passenger seat.

Just fancied a tidy up, though it may look just as messy once i'm done lol.

joys of megasquirt. once upon a time i thought i had it all perfect... made a whole neat loom and fitted it... a week... no... days later i decided to add something else... and so it now looks like its just been lobbed together :bang:

Curious more than anything here - Was that exhaust on the car when you got it? It looks like a rather odd design, with lots of kinks and then splitting into 2 but keeping the same diameter. Won't that have dodgy effects on the gas flow? Or have I missed something?

The smaller rusty one was on the car when i got it. The one with the 'kink' as you put it, was a hand made one ive had to build from scratch...

Its a larger bore than the exhaust that came off, doesnt blow, and the engine runs a whole lot nicer now...
If you wish to buy me a system, or have a £30k pipe bender to hand then your welcome to have a go for me...

The seats were removed and sold on, and replaced by suede and cobra buckets...
The car isnt that bad anymore, just requires a yellow bonnet, and some new indicators on the wings lol...

Someone had mashed speakers into the leather, looked like a poo effort... Then there were guages, but they were in such strange places on the car, so ive enged up removing it all and refitting them where i can see them.

The interior was nice, but it was one of them marmite love it or hate it things... I needed to free up some cash on the car to pay for bits to repair her...

Let fate decide, lol. Great idea considering you'll most likely end up regretting the sale whether it's one or the other. Well, I would...

 

[sei16v]

Just finished fitting the cold start valve.... She starts first time, idles perfect!!

Finally the cars running properly, as its apparently never had this bit fitted to the engine...

Anyways, my mates tempting on having the car for track days so it might be going to a good home... Fingers crossed
