Cinquecento my green cinq project.

[fingers99]

comes with slotted and vented disks and green stuff pads nearly new disks are going to be skimmed and the calipers rebuilt and painted black in keeping with the sleeper look

and i thought i saw some uno turbo 13 inch compatible calipers but i was mistaken so i will haft to make do with punto mk1 14s steels to keep the stock look have them aswell

Those look a little like the ones I pulled off Blue 2. I wonder.........

Punto steelies will be too narrow, methinks, to accept decent tyres. Bravo steelies in 6J?

 

[centoproject]

not sure lol are they even gt3s? and thinking of getting them banded

 

[blu73]

are you sure you haven't stolen them from my shed?? look exactly same and also have near new green stuff pads.. lol

 

[centoproject]

dam you caught me out. :devil:. Nope legitimately purchased there on the blue sei for now to get bedded in :yum:. and boy there an upgrade didn't take to long to refurbish either. but things are close between the caliper and punto 14s nothing a wheel spacer wont sort out though

tidying the garage a tad more while the suns out
the green beast is looking more open to access now . update on the engine to frame im saving for it to be done professionally only 500 ish they do alsorts plus its just down the road :slayer: my mate at work said he could gas weld it but im not going to trust that to much

 

[centoproject]

hear they are on the clean as hell sei



the arb rubs slightly when jacked up on full lock the tie rod end skims of the inner wheel weights ( replaces with adhesive ones ) so a 20 mm spacer wouldent go a miss but other than that its all good

oh and i know about the jack leaning the wheel is under the rear wheel chocking it

 

[ycming]

UT front caliper do fit

 

[centoproject]

yeh was looking for some but no luck so ended up with these lol.

 

[blu73]

surely the UnoT calipers can be found on something else, not something i ever looked into tbh but it would be so random if it was a single car application really.

If we are honest though, 13" wheels on this car will just be silly, i know you want to to look stock and stuff but i'd be considering stilo 15" steelies even with that engine in there.

 

[centoproject]

yeh will have a go at them to add to my vast collection of wheels so far haha. they might agree with the engines intended gear ratio better as well like you said but with a limited speed of 130 mph+ i hope to mechanically limit it a tad as well so i dont loose high end revs

 

[centoproject]

so on free time i thought i would create a CAD file for the new intake flange for itb mounting so it was dark in garage (takes a while for bulbs to get warm) and grabbed a 3 layer gasket made a cad model of that with slightly thicker edges happy days. turns out that was exhaust manifold gasket oh well so the gasket from the intake is broken up so the hole massive intake came inside anyway after making half the model tonight (takes time not one equal distance between points but got both manifold flanges in a auto cad file

hear is the exhaust one



and the unfinished intake



more updates to come soon but looks like another cold 2 weeks hear

 

[centoproject]

day of wok today

managed to strip inside ready for welding very soon

 

[cheeky cinqy]

get rid of that sound deadening

 

[centoproject]

will be doing this tomorrow if i get chance nice and cold so hopefully it will chip of in chunks

 

[Honeymonster]

Movement at last.

 

[blu73]

you've got some cheek

 

[centoproject]

yep things are getting there sometimes its good to have a small brake from projects

got a friend of a friend coming one weekend supposed to be amazing with a mig welder :worship: plus i have spare steel for plating and bracing from that rs4 subframe

finally saved up enough to start buying in equipment for powder coating not cheap crappy stuff either :yum: so shouldn't be long until i can provide a service

 

[Honeymonster]

you've got some cheek

Not the kind of cheek you're after.

I have someone to blame CP doesn't lol.

 

[centoproject]

more progress and a small instructional video for removing sound deadening



and the cut outs for tubing to come through

 

[centoproject]

so hear is the video of the removal

total weight loss 3.9 kg



oh and bit more waight loss removed winders from the sei to put in this and the electric actuator from this is in the blue sei all wired up and working well may i add





the entire door will have either a thin sheet of alloy or carbon fiber installed

 

[Lecook]

Looking good there I was thinking of the cf door panels and cutting the inner panel out but was a bit weirie about the strength in the doors, how much strength do you loose and is the weight gain worth it

Cheers
