what next for my fiat sei?

[imported_Darkwave109]

First of all happy new and a big thanks for all your help and putting up with some of my most stupid questions, because of your help iv managed to build my car up to how i want it (i lie all parts are lying in boxes or waiting to be deliverd) and and learned so much from you guys.
oki now to my little sei over the last few weeks iv done a lot of shopping and basicly bought most parts to rebuild a 2nd car lol
this includes
a complete brake upgrade including clutch/hoses
complete suspension kit plus bushes mounts
new seats/rails and harnesses
new hoses/air filter (upgrade) larger throttle body and ht lead/spark plug upgrades
new headunit with amp and 150watt speakers
car stripped no carpets or rear seats or silly plastic door panles

now the stuff iv got floating about in my head
should.
1. replace the steering wheel if so what one/how....hwo to hook up a horn ect ect
2. a respray or body wrap...im temped to go for wrap since iv been told fiats tend to rust pretty bad...but than again i can get a prof repsray for £60

3. exhaust should i go for a full systems or stick with the uni back box

4. have you got a suggestion?

and yes i have a love obsession with rally looking cars

and alot of you prob are saying why have you spent so much money on a 1998 900cc sei and not used the money to buy a newer model....truth is i love the car...havent seen any 1 else with a 1998 900cc...and 2 once i start summit ill keep at it till its done..and yes i was prob dropped on my head a few times as a baby

I'll done the same to my 899 as it was my first car Way too much mone yand time on it. I would say go for it, what you learn from doing it, it will be priceless!

Will you be doing the work yourself? I think the list you gave is pretty good, being an 899 you want to lighten the car as much as possible! So you list should be like the following:

Lowering suspensions kits (get an upper struc brace!)
New clutch kit
Stainless brake hose all around (add in punto GT brakes)
Bucket seats (make sure they are light)
Harness + rails
Poly bushes all around
Ht leads - go for some thickers aftermarkets as they will last longer
Induction system - go for GSR

I would also add:

15mm hubcentric (front) and 10mm hubcentric (back) (really for the rally look)
Cat back stainless exhaust, go for the janspeed as they are great quality and will out last the car! (good resale value too)
32mm tb from a punto 60, then pot the inlethole in the rocker cover to match the spacers ( u know what i mean once u took the tb off) tb= throttle body

As for the steering wheel, you need to get a boss kit for the cento, then the original wiring for the hore will just push fit into the horn that comes with the wheel

The list ain't cheap, but is what i would of done to the 899! well to my sporting as well.

hay cheers for the info, iv bought basicly every thing you mentioned lol apart from upper strut brace, the brakes are blacklines need to check the box pads are green pads, the ht leads are the heaver type, seats are cobra clubmand, and the rails are fiat sei specific. The suspension basicly its the whole kit 70mm up front 50mm rear, i was gonna get the fiat sei alloys but i went agaisnt it and found some 13s alloys from demon tweeks at £89 a wheel has more of a rally look ill send you a link to the wheels before i purchase wrapped in some nice low profiles......ooh also bought some anti theft bolts for my plates lol...Iv done some of the work my self but iv always had some one around just incase and when it comes to fitting the suspension ill be getting my dads mate to fit it thats summit i dont wanna mess with....sorry about spelling and shizz using my ps3 lol

Oh ah what i mean, is change the standard caliper to punto Gt ones! Late braking in the cento is the key and you need the right equipment to do that .

To be honest, the hardest part is probably change the rubber hose to stainless brake lines (if u got them that is)

Sounds like a tidy car once is done mate!
