been thinking about lowering it but i remember reading somewhere that the sportings are 10mm higher to fit the sports suspension so how can you lower them

 

[tim1989]

this is everthing i plan to get done to the car withing a year let me no what you think

(1)wheels not to sure yet need some help this is what i think
a white compomotive mo
b get the ones on the car powercoated in black or white
c deep dish

(2)
coilovers dont no witch ones yet but whatever are best for performance round corners

(3)turbo or supercharger
only people i no who can do this is jcr racing so if anyone noes anyone els let me no

jcr supercharger should see me around 150bhp

i relly wont a turbo that well give me around 180bhp with uprated pistons ect

(4) brakes
what is my best bet for the brakes remembering they might have to stop 180bhp??? could i get rear disks


(5) exhaust
jcr do an exhaust dont no if its anygood tho would a supersprint still work after the car has a turbo or supercharger on it??

(6) get a new gsr induction kit custom made for the car


(7)window tints mayb




and b4 anyone say it yes i no all this is going to cost me around £7000 but i love cars and at the end of it all im going to have one of the best fiat show cars around and it well get to set on the ff stand everytime

No the sporting springs are 10mm lower than standard 'active' springs.

You just buy sports 'lowering springs' and job done.

And yes I've heard of JCR Engineering. Seem pretty good. Personally I'd look for a T-jet engine then upgrade the turbo to the one they use on the Bravo / Abarth GP should be fairly simple drop-in job for someone who knows what they are doing (along with ECU and loom etc etc).

Because the crank, con-rods, pistons basically the whole bottom end isn't rated for that power so life expectancy will be very poor unless you get forged alternatives for all these parts (very ££££'s). You will also need to lower compression with either a spacer gasket (dodgy way) or by new pistons.

Although the T-jet is very similar to the 1.4 16v they re-made the parts i've just mentioned for the T-jet for the extra strength.

You could by all these parts from fiat and fit them to you engine but IMO thats more work (and expensive) than dropping a whole T-jet engine in from a salvage / donor car along with ECU.

is the tjet engine a straight swap??? am i right in thinking get the new engine and loom and geting it fitted well be around £1000 to £2000

Well not quite a 'straight' swap but should be very easy compared to a lot of transplants. Certainly a lot easier than replacing all them parts on your current engine and then sorting out fueling, timing in a aftermarket solution such as megasquirt etc.

And yes I'd imagine between £1000-£2000 should cover labour to do it all by a pro. Then the cost of engine and parts on top .

Would mean a very 'interesting' car :yum: :worship:

going to have to put my plans for the punto on hold for abit as my dream of a hiboost cinq has come true:slayer:
