Greetings Fiat gang!
My name is Connor from Essex.
I've been a bit of an anonymous lingerer here for a little while... mainly spying on and reading (in awe I might add) up on some of the Cento conversions.
Passed my test just about this time last year, I had a Silver 1.1 Seicento SX (the Soleil edition with the funky roof) but I was a little bit mugged off as I bought without a third gear, so we sourced and replaced it in time for me to pass my test.
I sold that car in favour of a Black 899 Cinquecento, it feels faster than the Sei, my friend says this is due to the extra cylinder. The person before me had installed a centre mounted straight through exhaust, a lowering kit, an aftermarket wheel and a cool little air horn. I absolutely love it, its like driving a go kart around. What it lacks in power steering and rev-counter it makes up for in character
Basically in the next few months I was going to be looking at either a 1242 16v or 1.4 16v conversion, so I'm looking to accustom myself to the community and I'm seeing this is a good place to get an idea of what parts to source etcetera. I'm not that mechanically knowledgeable but I have 3 close friends who are, and enjoy teaching/helping me.
In case people are doing bits about themselves - I'm an avid West Ham fan, currently a part time coal merchant and I'm looking to join the forces later this year.
So yeah, hey guys :slayer:
