Seicento Neo the red abarth

[Brooky]

hows the flywheel?

 

[clock34]

not broke yet! . car pulls alot better now, mates cant keep up on slip roads ect when im accelerating so its defo quicker and picks up nicely. seems to run out of puff at 5kish so i think i need to get a propper exhaust and turn the fpr up a tad.

the suspension is dropping a tad more when settling and i made contact with the floor today scrapping a tad of paint of the sump. dropped of a kerb and hit it. so no driving off kerbs! haha. tapped a speedbump too but not a massive bang. so im ok with it atm see how far it drops. still no arch rubbing.

found a slight water leak today but ill get it sorted and my wipers have completely stopped working. at the front, and my stalk inside is broken now because even the washer wont work or the rear wiper either so i will be looking into that at the weekend. good engine though. 200 miles gone and not missed a beat.

OH and a before and after!

Neo looks the dogs bo**ox!! That's a good before and after picture, you can really see the drop. For bin a 70/50 Seicento kit, it looks pretty level when it's fitted. Lowered cars just look so much better imo

 

[clock34]

it is pretty much level if you look at the before i think the rear is lower anyway so that might be why.

oh and i will probably be up in carlisle either at the weekend or tuesday onwards.

Now strip the back out for an even sporty look .

You will love it, sounds better inside too as you get exhaust and engine banter .

Thanks

 

[clock34]

cant mate i use the back seats and i have a road trip to turin coming up so i will need the seats

water leak is coming from the pipe leaving the engine behind the manifold. gutted as its hard to get to.

 

[Brooky]

Have you got a vernier pully?

i have a spare avanti pully if your after one, may need to check the pitch of the belt tho. give us a pm

 

[whitz]

looks likes the dogs nackers

you should get that leak sorted asap

id love to do this to my cinq after finally getting it all done but now i gotta sell it

 

[richard33dees]

Looking at those pict's AGAIN makes me want another Sei (hurry up venom :devil: the cinq's waiting!)

Ah think ya need to black out the B pillar with some fablon or summat similar, that b a pretty sweet wee mod

 

[clock34]

pm'd ya brooky even cleared my pm's so you can reply haha

been thinking about getting tinted rear lights and mabee blacking the bpillar but im not sure yet i could stick it on and try, mabee some cfiber or something.

i want to get a sticker for the rear window of a union flag but with loads of holes in it so you can still see through it from inside. (makes sense to me haha) been quoted about 70 quid for it though, so i dont know. just like the patriotism haha. seems rare these days.

also i was thinking of white wheels and white roof been thinking of it for a while. but i dont know, or black wheels and smoked lights all round with tinted windows and the blue strips replaced with '''something''' else haha. dont want just red sides.

oh and i still want abarth deacals on it somwhere like the 500, mabee the bonnet and the rear quarters if it wouldnt look tatty i dont know. styling is last atm as the paint itself is peeling off my car. haha SLEEPER!!!!

 

[yellow seicento]

nice car!! i like it alot! hope you get the bushes soon, hate waiting for things in the post! looks really smart,

Ryan

 

[clock34]

got the bush's a couple of days ago, just as i put him togeather. lol, will sort them when i tighten all the new belts up

 

[yellow seicento]

o right sorry must have mis read, glad ya got them mate, bit annoying that they came after you put it all together, you got a sweet car there!!

 

[clock34]

cheers. got my water leak sorted today so its running smooth. going to try and inquire about this vernier from brooky and sort out my engine mounts then i will have a car i love! .

styling then

 

[blu73]

road trip... have you actually tried driving around with people in the back yet??
Whats the ride like that low, i hought my sei looked low enough before but that looks much much better

 

[clock34]

Yeh had 4 people in it two of which weighed in at 16stone myself at 10 and a guy at 9 (weed) haha

no moaning from the susp or rubbing, never bottomed out with them in but i imagine it was CLOSE! haha, the suspension as you can imagine is stiff so weight doesnt really matter too much, the rear bleed nipple rubs on the inner arch, but it did that before the susp so im getting that sorted today.

i have a sub and 10liters of water in the boot atm (washer fluid spare and coolant) pluss beer!!! and it looks fine not much lower than without weight tbh,

ride isnt any harsher than with the sporting suspension due to the progressive springs so normal driving isnt affected much, harsh corners can be a tad harsh due to there being on the stiff bit of the spring so you need to watch for bumps mid corner. but thats always been the way

all in all im extremely happy with it not too low to use everyday as i do but you do need to be carefull with speedbumps but taken at the right speed its fine. and it looks awsome!
