Hi All, just joined up after buying a Cinq. Sporting, 8 years on from selling my first one.
It's a bit tatty around the edges, but it was cheap and I am working towards turning it into a half decent track day car. (My Alfa 75 is getting far too rare and valuable to use on the track these days - not to mention impossible to repair if I do prang it, due to lack of parts).
Anyway, my Cinq. has the 'new' Seicento style steering wheel and stalks. I absolutely hate the wheel, and really want to swap back to the original style 2-spoke leather wheel from earlier Sportings.
Is this just a straight swap?
I'm also looking at a suspension drop - don't want to spend too much - so was considering a Bilstein G12 'Streetline' kit, or a Gmax kit, which are both around the same price.
In terms of exhausts, I think I'll probably go with a custom-made 'Longlife' back box, adding a centre section when the flexi-pipe gives way.
Any opinions on the above?
Finally..... Superchips. I have one, but it's not fitted. Opinion appears to be split on them, but surely it's worth trying, especially with a new exhaust and (properly mounted in the air-flow) cold air induction kit?
