Hey Arc yeah I've seen your yellow cinq, I'm a friend of chris "spyke" and i currently drive a white nissan micra.
The engine has been fully rebuilt with new pistons, shells, big ends etc and has a lightened and balanced bottom end, uprated head gasket, piper cam, ported cylinder head and a Hybrid turbo, black diamond clutch, group A dump valve, samco hoses, K&N filter and scorpion exhaust. I'm yet to get a Cosworth 2wd intercooler and a fse boost valve.
unfortunatly the cowboys who are doing it are more interested in other things and not my car so its a struggle to get them to do anything let alone put the engine back in.
should be good when its finished, the car has front and rear strut braces, apex springs and dampers, and inside is completely standard (not even an aftermarket boost guage) apart from the gear knob which i'm going to get hold of a standard one and MK2 steering wheel. Am going to install the digi dash when its up and running too,
and the car was resprayed with colour coded bumpers, arches and skirts, nothing has been changed from standard so no smoothing or delocking, only change is MK2 back bumper.
I bought Brand new wings and doors from Fiat so theres no rust anywhere, going to get it all undersealed before i take it on the road so should last many more years.
unsure on what wheels to put on it, I would like some tipo 16v wheels to keep it fiat but have to wait and see.
