Cinquecento my green cinq project.

[cheeky cinqy]

common place for mot mine went there when welding be careful not to burn the paint

 

[centoproject]

apparently it was welded on last mot in the rear but no evidence of any welding and i will spray water on the paint while welding but it shouldn't be needed just do a load of spot welds being the perfectionist i am its not far from a full respray (last on the long list)

 

[BlueDan]

Is that after picking away all the bad stuff? You got off pretty lightly compared to mine.

 

[centoproject]

trigger wheel came the other day unfortunately i cannot use it but i can just put a 2 inch one straight it from trigger wheels.com and use the original sensor and just to give you an idea of the quality in these types of engines eavan the trigger wheel is surface ground not just back and forth either a rotating surface grind

 

[Honeymonster]

It had some teeth missing so I fixed it for you.



So why can't you use it, wrong number of teeth or too many missing?

 

[centoproject]

wrong number of teeth 36/2 I need I think from memory and thanks for that lol

 

[cheeky cinqy]

you get some dodgey garages who say they do stuff and dont just for the money was it owned by a woman you can tell if a garage is good as they will show you there work done

 

[centoproject]

So true family car (picasso) full front end suspention survice very expensive came out whorse than it went in same garage we have been going to for years I bought my fist car from them ( punto mk 1) but oviosly no respect considering all of the men in family are either in motor trade or engineering so I service what I can on the drive

 

[centoproject]

right more done today engines moved forward to allow for diff to fit better or it would need to be mounted under engine not to good so hear is the new position







All uploaded from new phone so if anything goes wrong lol

 

[centoproject]

well more designing rear trailing arms to take drive here is the trailing arm design to be laser cut soon adjustable camber and toe design may change but not alot

 

[Petento]

cars coming long nicely dude

 

[centoproject]

thank you yes it is ish lol not the fastest build but there is alot to do mainly after work i have been tidying garage out and stuff pulled out 2 engines there of to the scrap harvested good parts and other punto bits and bats are going in the bin as for the build itself things have slowed down a bit but not stopped go loads of stuff to do to designs and figuring out the best parts to use next thing on the list is to finish rear suspension to get it to a rolling chassis stage ( may be going to college to get engine frame and stuff profetanaly welded up for safety plus they can teach others real world scenarios in the proses ) dont forget priuses car batery situation when he had the accident a full engine getting lose dose not bair thinking about safety first

 

[centoproject]

Right I'm back from my break of not working on car updates will come soon sending cad file of to get cut

 

[centoproject]

so its been a while but the garage has unfortunately turned into storage for a family friend so the cinqs kind of buried (protected with cover) but things have not stopped been looking into engine management and i have found a perfect ecu(canems) but i have found another method gsxr 1000cc k6 (2006 i think) can e apparently hacked quite easily to adjust map rev limit and so on and its the same one that i got the itbs of so sequential injection and a simple loom aswell but units come at a price about 250 pounds with the keys but its just a thought and still haven't got around to sending of cad file to laser cutters for rear trailing arms and a thought on the engine support the original bike frame cut up a bit but it will be lightweight and very strong and that is just a thought

and hopefully i can have my garage back :worship:

 

[centoproject]

Finally I have my garage back so progress can resume first thing clutch adjustments so i have a better angle for the chain

 

[centoproject]

right been busy but a fairly important part should be here next week

clue the item is of a rather sporty audi

 

[Honeymonster]

Is it off one of these mate??

 

[fingers99]

On first sight I thought that was a Lancia Gamma Coupe.

Stick one of those engines in the back of a Cinq and it might get interesting!

right been busy but a fairly important part should be here next week

Please dont say a DSG box? The only reason Im thinking that is your love for sequencialness

Basicly the hole rear suspention and drivetrain from a rs4 b7 with LSD for 90quid now if that's not a bargain I don't know what is lol
