Cinquecento my green cinq project.

[blu73]

ah.. not taken my rear bumper off yet, incase there's nothing left to bolt it back onto afterwards lol. So i'd be a maybe atm.
tbh my car is in pretty good shape and i think mine will be ok (famous last words), but i think that would be a good plan, sure quite alot of people will need a set of them and as time passes even more so.

 

[centoproject]

yep may make a steel form for a press so i can stamp them out oem style lol

 

[centoproject]

the solution to heating the inside of the car ?

How much?

What about making something out of the existing bits (but smaller than the existing bits), and hiding it behind the gear stick/under the head unit?

Even just the old matrix inside a plastic box with a fan and a feed in from outside?

 

[centoproject]

i was also looking into the cheaper 12v car heaters

Have a mooch round on here and see if there's anything you like.

None are cheap though and the purely electric ones are pretty dire.

I'd advoid using a fresh air feed as it will be harder to heat the cold air from outside than recirculating it from inside the car. After all we're just trying to demist the window really, if you're cold put a jumper on.

Some of these just look like PC radiators with a high CFM PC fan (like a Vantec tornado). Perhaps you could just use some powerful PC fans (which are all 12v) on a small heater matrix. I'd avoid off the shelf PC radiators though as I doubt they are designed for engine temperatures and pressures.

Edit:

Some good stuff at car builders solutions too here:

will have a look tonight in the garage ATM

 

[BlueDan]

I have an electric auxiliary heater and it's completely rubbish.

But it was from Maplin and it's only meant to draw little enough current to run off a ciggy lighter.

earth point removal



and to remove this ugly lump

 

[Honeymonster]

How are you planing on removing that lump??

Keep that big hammer away from it.

 

[centoproject]

concave it and then fill it with hole filler

 

[Todger182]

Have to say that your project is looking good so far but I feel very mean in saying that it won't last long at all .

Filler in the seams will crack in no time, would of been better seam welding then grinding it all flat then filler to prevent any chance of flex. Would be the same result even with fiberglass.

My next question is when your removing the earth points are you welding plates into the holes or just layer glass/filler into them?

Sorry if it sounds like i'm being an arse.

Thanks

[centoproject]

oh lol and the filler can come out quickly and nope planishing the metal out and adering steel sheets on underneath the join and i'm using a flexible filler and i have keyd up the steel

and i will stress test the front to encourage cracking of the filler before paint

and nope i appreciate confronting potential problems with people

 

[Todger182]

I only say these things because of when I did my bay. I wanted to make sure I had no problem with any of those issues. Obviously though I didn't fill seams up, I stitched it all for strength.

I spent 2 weeks de-seam sealing everything, welding, grinding, smoothing, painting all under a gazebo .

Thanks

[centoproject]

only one problem i have no welder lol

 

[centoproject]

hear is my plan for the turbo cinq so far get some ITB's for on boost and keep the standard lower part of the plenum for of boost injection simples no wedding no fabricating and reliability

 

[BlueDan]

Is Todger's new signature banner reminiscent of Domo-kun to anyone else?

 

[blu73]

, can't say i saw it until you said it but yes

 

[centoproject]

omg just realised and nope lol i've been looking into creating the perfect plenum flow design lol and bike engines

on to the wiring i have started to separate the enyer front end loom into lightsL/R sides and main power as you can see

 

[Brooky]

Don't really understand your inlet thoughts, how you sticking itbs on with no welding or fabrication?

Anyway, think the best option would be to make something like fingers did, well nearly did. And if you do go itbs make sure they can handle boost.
