General Fluff under the bonnet

[Alex22]

Do you actually need that crap under the bonnet??> does it actually do anything??

My dad and i had an argument about whether or not it was going back in after the repairs.................he has won! >>>> for now

Anyway what's it for??

 

[custard]

mostly noise insulation and i suppose insulation in the winter to a lesser degree.take it out and see if the engine noise bothers you although i doubt you will notice much in the cinq

no i have driven it without, was nice and noisy> but its practically just as loud with it! so i don't see the point really> it just adds weight

Maybe i should remove it and accidently burn it [}]

 

[GhostWKD]

removed on mine, doesnt seem to come to harm, bonnet heats up sometimes too lol

 

[rallycinq]

Heavy fire hazard, hence consigned to skip.

[Alex22]

[arseofbox]

Like the logic....mine may have to come out when the 1242cc drops in!

[rich_2oo3]

its fire proof tho or highly heat resistant so the chances of it catching fire are verry low or els it wouldt be there everything servs a purpose, if u didnt need it the factory would design it without lol and as for weight reduction lol it probably only ways a few lbs if u want that just take ure stereo out ! or dont carry passengers

 

[SpYkE]

lol i took mine out, it probably wheighs less than a sun visor!!

I did take the radio out, and the sun visors, and the head lining, and the carpets, and the soundproofing, and the seats and the pillar trims and the seatbelts.

I just didn't know where to stop.

I still think its a fire hazard, although the most flammable thing under the bonnet is brake fluid, nasty stuff.

Good stuff - I would personally remove it, if I had some, but the 2001 sei's don't come with it as standard! like the older sei's, cinq's! There again it is only light was a feather I suppose! [8D]

It serves two purposes, firstly noise suppression to give the car a more refined feel and secondly to protect the bonnet from the heat of the engine which could cause the paint to craze in extreme conditions.

 

[Emm]

whatever! if ya modin take it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rofl> so Emm doesn't care then!

 

[surfin_fella]

I'm keeping mine in. a) because I can't be arsed removing it and b) because it keeps my engine all cosy. Don't see the point in removing it for less weight, not like it weighs a ton

[rich_2oo3]

as i said b4 they designed it with it in so who am i to go against the fiat factory by removing it, its pointless

 

[Liam]

They also designed that blinkin hadbrake and that needs shipped off somewhere!

I've seen the rallycinq, is very impressive, like the rally cars you would see on TV spec wise but just in smaller packaging1

One day I will have a reason to buy a dump valve!
