mario's project

well i have given in to temptasion and i am picking up my project car tomorrow, i may just pick it up sort it out and sell it or i may go mad with it lol, watch this space for pics tomorrow.

well picked it up and got it home just now, unfortinatly the exhaust went on the way home so need to swap that out for a new one




not sure if i am going to turn it into a full on project or a do up and sell, the, main prob i have with it is the fact its the micro ecu type 1108 so engine swaps are a pain in the arse and expensive.

i bought this little jem for £200 due to a head gasket gone, or at least thats what the guy i bought it off though, its just a rocker cover gasket and a rusty sump, doesn't use water and there is no mixing so i will prob strip it and do a full gasket set anyway as its cheap and easy, then fit some new tires and maybe a cheap set of alloys and bam stick it up for sale lol

Dont forget what i said mate........... you need 20 turbo's, 6 superchargers, 4 intercooler's and a couple of V8's

You know.....to keep things sensible lol

Jason

again you forgot the nitrometh lol just for that added drivability off boost, i wounder if an 8ft track would help handling too along with 18's on the rear and 13's on the front???

well got the first mod done lol



right now need to get to our fearless leaders with some dosh to get the wheels for it, sort out a sump and it will be on the road while i strip the primera engine and rebuild as the stem seals have go and so have the crank seals, hmmmm sr20det maybe??

What about painting some of the engine parts?
And some blingy parts

Do you not remember my cinq lol. I don't do bling or painting bits lol. It's performance over beauty everytime for me. Really don't see the point in wasting money on a pot of heat paint when I could put that money towards a set of lowering springs or a new exhaust lol

You had another cinq?

Do you not remember my yellow and black cinq. Wait it might have been before you joined lol. Have a look I think the thread is still on here somewhere lol

I'll do a quick search for it here....

oops it appears i deleted the thread lol

here is a piccy of my old cinq

I gotta get a car of that size!
Would be fun to testdrive one

Think of a 4 seater go-kart lol. They are mint but because of small engines they struggle for top end but they get there solo fast lol

Nice lookin car ill keep an eye on this to see how things are going

well here is the sei on the fresh wheels, anyone reconise them??

defo need to get the lowering springs i have lined up lol, 4x4 anyone??

Punto rims look well you could turn it in to a 4x4 dare to be different

Haha some one on fiatforum has actually done it lol. They dropped a sei shell on Suzuki sj/vitara chassis and running gear. Looked sweet but a lot of work

is this the look you recommended ryan??

WOW they should make them factory built looks like alot of fun

iirc it took near 2 years to build and lasted about 3 weeks lol

parts for seicento pile

well should hopefully get all this fitted tomorrow and then blam its on the road for a few months while i decide what to do with the prim loon.

hopefully picking the lowering kit up next week and then i am on the search for a front sporting bumper and side skirts as got a rear and a boot with spoiler lined up

well got the sump fitted and changed the oil filter and oil this morning and fitted the new battery, fired it up and sat with it running on the drive for 20mins, hmmmmm why is the rad still cold, thromstat is stuck i think so now need to go get a gasket kit so i can sort that outcos i know that when i take the thermostat off it will kill the gasket so going to get a kit next week and then do the lot including the HG, think i may do the timing belt and tensioner too.

Some good news you might aswell do the lot while it's stripped down

cool, so this car is gonna look half tidy then, as opposed to the "lets chop holes in it" cinq

Nice base anyways. Lets hope you get a turbo on it at some point...
