[charlieboy]

nice little car

id go for a set of sei abarth wheels, and powdercoat them anthracite

 

[randomizered]

Cheers guys

Not a fan of the Arbarth wheels, bit too common now and prefer something a little less fussy. I'm looking for a really clean simple, subtle look from the outside

Anthracite, is that the greyish coloured powder coating???

I've never driven a 14/15" Sei, but would be concerened that the fun of fast take off's is lost Would love to try someones someday, maybe make my mind up then

wouldnt worrie about the fun factor with 14's on just means more mods to get it back or a 1242 conversion

looks nice, you have any help fitting the alarm? looking to get on done for my cinq soon.

where abouts in nuneaton are you? im over there a fair bit (food over there is sooo nice)

 

[OZ Seicento]

Very nice mate, looking very well and clean too.
What wheels you thinking of then?
How come you have taken away the rear headrests too? I always liked he look of the 4 head rests when i had my rear seats in.
Nice one, keep up the good work

Shiny!!!! Black cars just rock..

How do you rate the cobra suspension mate, looking to get a full kit soon, was gonna go with a 40mm kit as not sure if i'll get off my drive with a 60mm kit on, not seen 50mm ones before, where they from and how much if you don't mind me asking..

 

[LanciaMad]

Is it lowered in those pictures? Doesnt look like a true 50mm drop?

 

[blu73]

It defo lower than mine, i always think that they don't look as low with 13's on, i know technically with 14's on it would be higher but they fill arches better and make it look lower if you know what i mean..

 

[sportingsmissus]

looks very nice

but you need a paintjob like gazzaman2k

Wow, lots of feedback

@99sei
Fitted it all myself, took a while as i was learning, but had no real probs to speak of, there is a great seller on eBay who lives near nuneaton, who sells Toad alarms, great price and hes cool for collection...PM if ya need more info.. I'm from a little village called hartshill, between nuneaton and a town called atherstone. If ya need any help fitting one, I'm sure i could give ya a hand sometime. nice food? Guess so...been out for a Thai and Curry in the last two weeks



@OZ Seicento
There were some wheels in another members motors, a yellow sei, from somewhere in europe, had a set of schoom?? Or something like that, they were real nice
I don't like the rear head rest, block the view, and i hardly ever have passengers. I also hide all the rear belts and "plugs" as well. I only really have the seats there to hide things in the boot


@LanciaMad
Yes, it is lowered there, and i agree i was expecting a bit more, but it was a full 50mm kit, for the sporting....i have caught the underside several times anyway, so any lower would be a pain.

@blu73
I had trouble with the dampers and had to fit 5mm spacers, as they were fouling (took a hammer to the dampers as well, but with the 5mm spacers, i wouldn't have had to)
The kit feels nice and firm, but not to rough...def have to avoid the larger holes and dips in the road though.
I got it for £300 from Edworthys, but thier service was rubbish.. www.potn.co.uk do it for about £320 i thikn.



Think I'll give the gazaman2k paint job a miss, but his car is coming along nicely

//edit

forgopt to mention with the drop and even with the 5mm spacers i get a bit of tyre rubbing on full lock, not too much though, so i don't really worry about it. Guess that will be a greater issue with larger wheels??

Good suff mate, your looking for smoor wheels then, nice choice, will look really well on your car.

Looking well mate

hehe, yeah it took one rear passenger ok the other day, but had to take it easier over the humps. With a full complement of passengers, I think it may be a big problem.

Smoor wheels, yes they are the ones...gonna take a while to save up though, they aren't cheap

What size are old mini wheels? See some of them about with alloys that would look quite good, but they are 12" i think? prob a firrent pcd as well.
There are also some compomotive ones that i like, but at about £100 each + tyres i'd rather get smoor as they are prob less common over here.

LanciaMad..I heard something rubbing on full lock, i never got out to check where, but i think from memory it came from the rear of the wing..ie. full lock turing right and it comes form the right hand side. What difference does it make?

Hi!

Just wondered if you could tell me what type of noise the K&N filter makes. Im after a bit of a juicy sound, but dont want to sound like a boy racer! I had one on one of my old cars, and it really droned on the motorway - obviously not good!

How does that one sound?

Cheers!

Alex.

it makes a little whissle when it sucks air in at low revs and gear changes, goes off at higher speed, hardly noticable.

At small throttle openings its pretty much sounds stock. Put ya fut down and it does pump out a fair bit more noise but its not OTT, you won't sound liek an idiot. On motoryways its nto to noisy unless you floor it to overtake etc.

Unless you have an MPI sei though, there are better solutions such as the GSR (PM oldschool). I plan to buy some tubing to move mine from the top of the TB, so it gets some cooler air into it
