SKIP TO PAGE 2 FOR THE GUIDE TO CINQ TUNING

MY CAR:

This cinq was bought as standard then thoughts went into giving it more perfomance rather than visual improvements so,

This is how it was:

fordaus's 1997 Fiat Seicento Horncastle, UN Customized with K&N Intake - 2

And this is how it got to what it is now:

Step one: Most cost effective (£54) step taken, the K&N induction kit, was easy to fit and gave the engine a bit of a growl!

Step 2: How can we go without the 15's? Boy do that make it corner well! (195/45 R15) Though the car and wheels needed 'tweeking' to make them fit! To give you an idea of their size my dads Xreg Mondeo 1.8LX has 205/55 R15's!

Step 3: The engine was powerflowed and polished, improving torque and allows it to rev harder. The compression ratio was also increased. Done by www.awtracksport.com situated in Horncastle near Lincoln

Here are the engine parts before:
