Technical recommended modifications

[gls]

Hello everyone.

I've just bought myself a Cinquecento sporting, pick it up Friday, and I was wondering what mod’s everyone recommends to give it a bit more poke.

Also I've got a knackered Uno turbo sitting in the back garden, does anyone know if its possible put the turbo brakes on the Cinq'? And what about the engine, will that fit?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

brakes, yes - speak to rallycinq. I beleive he runs uno turbo brakes on his cinq. It'll need some custom spacers fabircated.

Uno turbo engine wont fit easily into the cinq, but like always - if you can throw loads of money at it, it can be done.

mod wise i'd recomend

GSR induction kit.
Punto60 throttle body
Chip from mckrich

Suspension wise, drop it at least 40mm all round.

The punto60 engine will fit into the cinq very easily, have a read of the cento engine swap thread thats pinned at the top of this forum.

Welcome to the mad house, got any pics of the car - or any more info?



just dug out this link

Hi and welcome

welcome to the forum, not 100% but i think the uno turbo brakes might have some trouble clearing the standard 13's, i know dj bucho has to run 14's because of his punto gt brakes

nah alex, im sure with the discs spaced properly they'll fit inside 13's

 

[beastyjay]

spudgun is running punto GT discs on his cinq, out brakes nearly everything

 

[jamie86]

They fit with 13's?

 

[GhostWKD]

punto gt brakes defo dont fit with 13's

 

[jamie86]

Wont be doing that with my pink 13's then

 

[beastyjay]

they certainly do cos he went to get some new disks from motor serv and they went and checked to mae sure they were GT brakes and they were. when you look through the wheel all you can see is brake disc.

 

[GhostWKD]

beasty; punt gt calipers wont clear 13" rims, although willing to be proven wrong, believe it when i see it though

 

[beastyjay]

lol ok then mate.

Fact 1. Punto GT front discs will fit under 13 inch wheels.

Fact 2. If you wish to fit calipers to the discs, then you will need 14 inch wheels.

Fact 3. Uno turbo vented discs will fit with a 9mm spacer between the hub and disc.

Fact 4. Uno turbo calipers will fit straight on and fit under 13 inch wheels.

Cheers

thank you

 

[GhostWKD]

lol beasty; we were both right kinda cause calipers wont fit under 13's, is there any advantage of having the punt gt discs without the punt calipers?

oh and cheers for clearing up the confusion rallycinq

 

[beastyjay]

well i can tell you that spudguns cinq stops a lot quicker than mine with punto GT discs and im running black diamond combi discs and predator pads. even with a boot full of ice and 3 ppl in it stops better.

 

[GhostWKD]

jay; so whats he running out of interest? he running std calipers with punt gt discs and GT or cinq pads? askin cause am going to be forking out for brakes at end of month

 

[beastyjay]

i`ll ask him when he comes online.

 

[arc]

rallycinq, do you run vented uno turbo brakes - im tempted... seeing as tho they fit under std wheels..

 

[rallycinq]

Fact 5. If fitting the Punto GT disc there is no way any caliper can fit under a 13 inch wheel.

I have Uno Turbo vented discs and matching calipers on the front of my Cinq, yes. I use Mintex 1144 material. I took the original Sporting front wheel spacers and had them machined down in diameter to fit inside the disc bell. I didn't have the spacer thinned from 10mm to 9mm, I use 1mm washers on the calipers.
