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

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:

Step 4: The original restrictive manifold was replaced and custom exhaust fitted (by awtracksport)

Berfore:

After:

Step 5: Its been professionally de-badged on the rear:

So this is how it looks now:

And how the project awaits more work!
Theres even the posibility of a turbo tho its not cheap (�1800)!!!

Hope you like it.

Haha. Nice one. Bet It was pretty fun to leave some of those Corsa's at the lights when the chavs were laughing at you!

I used to have a Cinqucento and I fuckin hated it. Funnily enough, one of my earlist most embarassing motor memories, was being overtaken by one of these Scincento while in my Cinqucento!!!

Nice little guide too. Quite helpful.

Thinking of buying one of these to travel to work and back... what those it cost you to fill and what mpg do you think it gives you .?.

It's all been done and said before, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing! Looks good.
