The car is almost done realy the big job is the 1.2 engine to come and mabey the paint job but it has shocked me how well that car handels and the accelleration is mad not long till you will have to hire someone to sit on it before it blows away in the wind lol

Thanx for the comments Charlie and yes I promise to take you out soon so that you to can see what she is like, she is a completely different car and I think you will love it too. Very true Sandy the 1242 will be a piece of cake.

Also the next job I am going to do is uprate the braking system. A defo for a track car.

A nice set of brembo's from a Coupe mate That will help you slow the Cinq down..Mind you not sure 16'' wheels will help.. Check out the Punto forums to see what they put on the GT's

Yep that is what I am going to do, a punto GT front brake convertion. I think it could use something like that to make the brakes more responsive.

Punto GT conversion (on the front) is a good move, but needs 14 inch front wheels -- get 6J or your tyre choice will be limited. The late calipers are best, the ATE ones: see  here and the FAQ/Guides in the Cento section of Fiat Forum for more details.

Uno Tub brakes will fit under 13inch wheels, but are a trickier fit.

Great advise mate

Hi fingers, at the mo I am running on 14's and I am at the mo a bit torn on what rubber to run on, I was thinking Falkens or Goodyear Eagle's.

Indeed, rare like hens teeth.

you knock off my post 
What thickness do you need??

[charlie Fett]

To be honest I have no idea, there are drawings on the FF but I can't find it    I think they are meant to be 10-15mm thick.

[fullpint]

How about two of these on both side???

They look great but...there has got to be arms attached  to them from what I understand for the handbrake application. But interesting though, I will add those to mt favs, cheers Steve.

Hi all

there the wrong shape all they will do is bring the wheel out more, they dont have any attachment to bolt the caliper on
