Any updates on El, she was such a forum slag before and now we never see her

 

[bad_boy_cinq]

Not a great deal to report, still on the move with no major problems. I have refurbed the wheels as the lacqure was pealing. El is now on a set of AVO coilovers and adjustable rear shocks, and has a little few carbon fibre brackets:

hey do you know what this car is lowerd by
also what size wheels are they ??

 

[Tommeh38]

That looks nuts. Nice car mate. =]

 

[blu73]

El was lowered 60mm when alex had it, not sure if its still the same

 

[bad_boy_cinq]

The rear is using the same springs and the AVO fronts around the same as what it was.

Wheels size is 13"

 

[blu73]

have you still got your 1242 NA cinq as well then mate? If so, welcome to the rare circle of NA & Turbo owning cento owners

 

[bad_boy_cinq]

My bro now owns the blue 899 converted to a 1242. Ive recently bought a red 1242 LPG converted cinq to use while im working on the turbo.

Is there a thread for 899 to 1242? Was thinking of doing something like that in the summer.

The car looks sweet mate how much was the carbon fibring?

 

[bad_boy_cinq]

I think there are a few threads about the 899 to 1242 swap.

I made the carbon bits myself so haven't really worked the cost out.

nice wee car im sure i seen this in carlise last year. keep up good work fella!

 

[Evilpaperclip]

thanks Ill have a look good luck with whatever project youre on atm

 

[blu73]

899 to 1242 is not a hard conversion. pretty much same as changing from a 1108 apart from you need to swap over the engine wiring loom as well.

If you do the conversion make sure you get an anti-roll bar from a sporting as well

anti roll bar does jack on a cinq/sei

i disagree, alot.
Had mine off at one point to get it powdercoated red and the car felt all sloppy and rolly

 

[gazzaman2k]

could be to do with my boot install acting as a rear strutbrace then lol

 

[furryballs]
