Cinquecento Cinquecento sporting Abarth...

[blu73]

wasn't a whole lot of clearance on betty are the front or back to be fair.. found a better pic that you can see arch gap. J has coilovers on the front though so his can go lower.

 

[mrcinquecento]

Mine is defo higher at the front, though some of that might be tyre profile, mine are 45's, right in thinking those are 50's? i think mine will drop more eventually, whilst it's been on its wheels most the time the past year, they have hardly been used so would imagine them getting compressed over bumps a few thousand times would bring them down another 5mm or so.

 

[blu73]

yeah i ran 185/50, iirc J has 175/50

yeah i ran 185/50, iirc J has 175/50

yeah i have 175 50 14s ,,

and no id woudnt run cut springs ..... there made that lenght for a reason not for some one just to come and cut a coil off ,,,,
i have these springs in ,,,,
bad picture but ...

 

[jatkinson]

ohh dear Lola is now my daily after finding out both my wishbones on the Stilo are hanging out there bottom

 

[jatkinson]

after a week of being a daily ,,, i want to use her every day now ,, so trated her to a little clean
washed , clayed , washed Blackholes , tyres , hd waxed ,, needs more time spent but that will do for today

yup and having the radio playing Quite loud for 3 hours makes my battrey go flat

 

[blu73]

they do feel so special after driving a 'normal' car don't they... lol

 

[hf turbo]

I totally agree there is something special about cinqs

 

[mrcinquecento]

Said it on another thread, but every time i drive mine i get the "This is how good cars can be and used to be" feel.

 

[blu73]

to be fair, its not that cinqs are that amazing really, more that modern cars are so sterile. So many cars from the same era as the cinq have a similar feel. Lack of driver aids and no PAS (or at least no electric PAS). On top of which small cars were actually light.

 

[hf turbo]

For me it's the feel I get back through the car my Schumy has nothing on my cinq. I also forgot how quick my cinq is compared to a standard sei sporting

 

[blu73]

lol, yeah its pretty mad getting in a not fast cento when you are used to modded ones.. in my head a cinq is at least twice as powerful as a cinq actually is lol.

 

[jatkinson]

Well Neros been playing up ,, and so Lola has been playing up too

Right guys got a problem with lola.... For those who don't know I've have got a punto 75 engine fitted running the p75 ecu... Basicly my problem is when it's cold and your slowly going up the revs it's holds its self back just as if it's struggling to get past them revs,,, when it clears them revs it's clear right up to the limmeter. and its starting to do it more regually ,, its been doing ti for quite a while now its just doing it more and more now ...
Its had a new Fiat crank sensor fitted
New map sensor
New plugs and gapped
New leads
Second hand sei mpi Fuel pump
new pipes to the map sensor
air filter cleaned
Just been.serviced
Running on vpower.
What could be causing my hesitation?? ( awaits the it's a 8v crack off a few,people)
any help would be thanked

 

[blu73]

I take it no EMLs at all???

tried swapping the coolant temp sensor, or at least testing the resistance - perhaps ecu thinks its hot all the time so is too lean when cold....?

Unlikey to be coils when its a issue when cold but sure you have some spares kicking about to rule them out.

 

[ycming]

Do you still have the cannister plugged in?

 

[blu73]

thats a interesting question that... i know my old cinq ecu was fine with it unplugged and not there, so was the 18.fd ecu for the 16v but i have no idea if the 75 ecu would be upset by its lack of presence or not... I wouldn't expect the problem to get worse over time though

 

[hf turbo]

Mines hasn't run the canister since i did the conversion. Although the solenoid is still connected

 

[jatkinson]

Changed coilpacks too
no Eml lights on the dash
The solinoid is still plugged in Like Hf , but no canister there

 

[hf turbo]

I think I'd be leaning towards map or lambda sensor

You've got a different cam in there now haven't you?

 

[mrcinquecento]

I think coolant temp sensor, when they fail they go one of 2 ways, either reading -40 so they run super rich or read hot and run lean.

Btw, if you want a cheap lambda, there's a place doing brand new Delphi ones ready to go in 4 pin Fiat format, so no messing wiring them up. for around £7-8.
