[blu73]

[centoproject]

Pictures will be made bublic just in case there are shy ones out there to afraid to ask it has a brass insert for that extra bling

 

[centoproject]

so hear is the gear knob* modification dose look a bit chavy but oh well i made it at least its not halfords clobber but it dose get a bit nippy

oh and i know about the mess all over the carpet not to mention the wallnuts in the tailgate

 

[Honeymonster]

oh and i know about the mess all over the carpet

Blu will be along asking for progress pictures please pm me if he dose

Oh yeah can't wait!

I hope I misread that, what is this place coming too I used to feel safe here...







That is a nice looking knob CP looks very well made.

 

[blu73]

Honeymonster haha, click the link to my quote, your rumbled

Your knob just needs a nice decal now to set it off CP lol.

 

[centoproject]

Talk about twisting words haha might take it back to col and get gear pattern or a logo of some sort CNC on the brass not sure yet though

 

[fingers99]

Well, your knob is certainly different!

Everyone else has modified them to make them longer and quicker acting. You've gone for slower acting and shorter. Ma perché?

 

[centoproject]

im going to re weld the forward and backward movement cable connection point later on further up the stick to increase the movement to throw ratio but it dose the job for now ive got quite a few gear selector boxes that im going to modify later on but not geting to keen on this one yet until the green one is done just keeping this one nice and reliable

 

[jatkinson]

Ooo Shiny ,,, you must of been polishing your trumpet a lot to get it shiney ive just wore a the point of mine trying to hard

 

[centoproject]

Lol might just rename this the smut thread the place to go for innuendoes and I just fitted it to one end of bench grinder and boom repolished I used a lathe to polish it with this abrasive strips getting rid of imbedded defects from lathe and that cheap abrasive was a long prosess but worth it but the brass is a tarnish hotspot not best design for a gear knob lol

 

[centoproject]

866 is in and shimed to specs not a large difference just makes things happen higher up the rev range also on the mpi engines you will need to change over the pulley for the can pick up was all up and running within 15 mins on the new cam not a big job

 

[centoproject]

right looks like i may have a fuel leak not to sure yet although may be a sender problem but the fuel tank looks a complete bodge so if its a case of changing tank which i have a spare i will try to make a guide

 

[centoproject]

so it turns out a seicento is as good as a 4x4 on snow the only car on castle hill others didn't make it and parked in the lower car park

people were like how the hell did that get up hear










and then disaster when driving through my friends estate tail broke loose and slid sideways into a curb and deformed front offside wheel but other than that its ok i hope will take it to check tracking but it got me home after i changed the wheel luckily the rear wheel made it up a drive access so no damage done but will give it a one over

 

[centoproject]

so its been a while since any update but thats a good thing all has been well other than a mistake of my friends behalf and i. midnight + black ice+ handbrake = buckled wheel all fixed now though been to alignment shop

note for all cento owners carry a pipe with you to add leverage for taking wheel bolts out!

me and my friend enjoy driving the cento's i have the advantage of more power and no gay wheel trims!

 

[jatkinson]

The Blue one looks so much better

The Red car and the blue car had a race
do you win the milky way all the time

 

[centoproject]

oh i do lol loving those wheel trims as well

 

[centoproject]

ummm.....




looks like a new tank is needed the fuel seams to be going slowly then settling down as if it was not leaking below that repair

 

[centoproject]

things are going well in seicento land on minor issue is the idle is lumpy plus the fuel gauge lies to me sometimes bit intermittent one start and drive its just above empty and next start and drive it gives correct readings ??

 

[centoproject]

so while work on the green cinq has slowed down this has been the culprit

new tank

going through sensors finding the cause of the lumpy idle

and debadged may notice the gp in the drive replacement for the picasso wonder who pasuaded them to go fiat



and the rear stripped out for 2 reasons my friends have cars and always ask me to be designated driver on nights out and weight reduction 50 kgs will upload pictures of each thing on scale
