Lo all,
First of all, want to say what a cool forum. Before i start, i just want to apologise if i am covering old ground, i have looked at a few old posts via the search feature but i still have a few questions i would like to fire at you fine people.
Better actually tell you what i got eh? Two days ago i toke posession of a grey 1996 Cinq Sport 1.1 with only 18,000 on the clock. I paid £500 for it from the mother-in-law ( only had two owners and previous owner before that was my GF so i know its been treated ok ) and Im already in love. Im just gettign to grips with the fact this thing is only a 1.1 as it really does shift!!
Anywho, here are my questions:
1. The obligatory induction kit question. How hard is it to fit? (may have to draft in my mate who has fitted one before) And why do you guys hate K + N ? All the chavs round my manor swear by them and i was thinking of picking one up to be honest. Alternate suggestions would be welcomed.
2. Chipping. Checked another post to find out my '96 Cinq ECU isnt soldered so chipping isnt so much grief, however can you suggest one for me? Is the McKRich one really any good? Just after minimal perfomance gains and good reliability to be honest. Who makes this one: https://www.fiatforum.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3794
3. Can these parts be easily removed and the originals put back on when it comes to selling the vehicle?
All i want to do is give my new found love a teeny bit more Oomph, and my budget is around the £150-170 mark. Dont really want to melt the engine, just want to give your average focus driver a wee bit of a shock at the lights or when im on the A2. If i bought the induction kit and McKRich's chip, would i notice a nice performance gain without drastically shortening the life of the engine?
Again i really apologise for these noob questions, I have only been driving 2.5 yrs and this is my first proper car. Went into Halfords for the first time yesterday to buy car cleaning gear and i was just totally over-whelmed LOL .Any help or advice or chat about previous experinces would be extremely helpful. Many thanks
