yeah try find it and send me the link please :D

been looking at the fiat coupe 20v turbo. . . .  if i take it straight off the coupe and fit in the rear of the cinquecento i am going to need arches that are 140. 5mm wider either side looking at the measurements. . . . .  but yeah you`s are right i also like the idea of using a fiat engine :D

that sure would be   and   but would the chassis be able to take all 220 bhp from that lump and it the car is lightened and stripped out your break horse per ton would be crazy! You would most likely suffer huge understeer problems and the car may well end up undrivable   You would end up having to put huge wide wheels and tyres on to cope with getting all that power down on the road, would be a defo.   I read about a guy who had a Fiat Panda and he took the v8  engine out of his rusty rover SD1 and got it to fit in the front of the car, it ended up with a widearch kit on it new firewalls and engine bulkhead, his drivers seat was in the back where the rear seats were to begin with lol looked good though. Looked like a widearch beach buggy with the huge wheels, the cost of it he could have bought a space shuttle   I think your bike engine sounds better.

yeah m8 it`ll be getting totally stripped out 2 bucket and seats harness put in. . .  the roll cage will be totally over engineered for the car. . . .  i think the roll cage will end up weighing more than the car :D cant compremise safety :D just looking into everything atm but i think i`ll be choosing the Coupe 20V turbo idea. . . :D

well good luck on that, I went to a site www.letstorquebhp.com and put in your details as if the car weighed in at 600kg and power at 220bhp and these are the results it gave me.

Power at Flywheel (BHP) :  220
Weight without Driver (KG) :  600
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :  372.55
0 - 60 (Secs) :  3.62
0 - 100 (Secs) :  9.32
60 - 100 (Secs) :  5.70
Quarter Mile (Secs) :  12.00
Terminal Speed (MPH) :  113.47
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) :  11.90
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) :  114.84

sure you wanna go ahead with this?
you would end up killing yaself with that power lol when I had my mk4 supra rz-s that was 360 bhp and that was a handfull at time so be careful.

[fullpint]

THAT A VALID POINT CHARLIE... Power is not every thing.. Ok I dont have 360 like your Supra but 291 is toooo much to handle in my Coupe..But she sounds awesome tho

[eltis]

it`s good having the power. . . .  but doesnt mean you have to use it all the time.

i still need to finish my rally car off before i get to grips with the cing. . .

Hey Eltis - Welcome to the forum and cinq ownership!

The coupe engine sounds awesome! i love the bike engined cars on youtube - mostly from italy i think. Check out the Gulli Motori car! sure you will find it on youtube.

I know someone with a coupe turbo. One point i have heard - access to the left hand side of the block - for cam belt changes etc... is pretty tight on the coupe - tho possibly the space above the arches will provide better access than the original coupe!!!

Also check out the wide body kit on the Gulli Motori site! - you might need it

Keep us updated!

that wide body kit is stunning, i so wanted my cinq to have one haha, its quite pricey tho. there is a vid sumwere of a cinq with it on youtube.

Dan aint had a chance to find that alfa powered one will have a look after work 4 you mate.
