My Seicento

[Guest]

I got given a 6speed gear box out of a mk2 Punto  at first was not that keen on going to 6speed with the gear ratios being slightly shorter but having that bit more on the top thought why not.so last weekend we got it put in we got it in without much trouble now for the good news Lol with a kinked fuel line i managed to melt a piston ring and cracked one too new ones coming next week

It was kinked so it ran lean on top end so most likely detonated? Also i got a new clutch in so hopefully by end of next week should have it put back together and running

Well since the last post its been some stress lol melted and cracked couple of pistons, so new pistons and rings again, then the woodruff key on the bottom gear on end of the crank shaft sheared off twice resulting in many bent valves just changed the bottom gear box mounting ordered some HnR springs which will arrive some time next week and gonna get both strutt braces

Oh also gonna poly bush up the rear. Been wanting some light wheels,OZ do couple but not in a high off set which not happy about cos they said its not advisable to use spacers cos of the wobbly bolts id have to use and the others i  got to wait 2month! But only 6.2kg or 6.4kg each 15inch wheel but i will have a one off colour on them which im not telling lol oh also changing bit of exhaust

So much for the 15s instead gone for 16s off a coupe turbo and it dont look over the top on front anyways dont catch clear the 6speed box speedo is very very accurate just deciding on tires tried toyos bit better in rain than the conti sports and uniroyal going to try marongoni tomorrow also a 1242cc sticker which should stop people asking if i got an uno turbo engine in lol 

[sei160]

Got 16s (coupe turbo wheels for now)on now with marongoni tires pleased with the result just got bit of rubbing on the rear which wont take much sorting how many people have actually got there cento to do 125mph on a sat nav?

On Sat Nav?

You do realise that Sat Nav is never accurate. All GPS satellites are owned and run by the US military with companies buying data  from them, consequently they are for civilian use not more than accurate to 50m, its 1-2m military use although sat nav companies use all sorts of algorithmic solutions to try and make it more accurate. The reason is two fold, if it was too accurate then terrorists could use rigged up sat nav as targeting bombs, and the data is always historic as its works out your speed by the good old speed=time/distance, which when the data can be between 50-100m out always is going to be inaccurate. Although speedo's are also not accurate,they must not under read from new, they are an actual figure, not a historic one, so you really have to use both and then you get a rough idea of what you are doing.

i think sat nav is over rated as well. a good route finder ia all u need

hence you always get sent into the nearest field, I personally can not stand them, all you need is a map!

ok rant for the day!

Oops read this after the post i put up lol anyways managed 120mph finally with the 16s after a bit of fiddling with the fuel pressure does take bit longer to get there than before but more confident that i was actually doing 120mph this time than when running on 14s booked in for a power run sat 8am sharp if i wake up i think i should have 110-120bhp after some thought and asking aaron

[sei160]

Finally got car to rollers and after some messing around with bits found it has a faulty map sensor its been changed twice im not using the standard sei sensor though anyways its running lean on top end so got until next week to sort it somewhere near 115BHP but wait till next week to get a print out

[sei160]

I been banned so not had chance to get it to rollers yet got new injectors and some sensors and its running pretty good now how nice is that get car sorted finally and cant drive it lol gives me time to save up and do something naughty with it now

[halfpint]

how long was ur ban? You must be careful these days , and not being able to drive it when it's purring like a kitten finally must be gut wrenching. lesson's learnt i hope.

OPPS!  Just on the note of things, they are talking about DOUBLING the points for speeding, so watch out!
