well the wiring for the lights will be simpler and the ignition barrel will/should match up with dash plastics (cinq wont even fit with it so you loose the steering lock and ignition)

the rest is hard to say.
even RCs cinq turned out to be different from mine.

 

[clock34]

i imagine as mine had it as a optional extra it cant be massivly different but this is fiat i suppose.

 

[craigb244]

yeh dont keep your hopes up... expect the worse...

 

[rallycinq]

So when can i book mine in to have it fitted lol

You watched and helped me do mine, so do your own.

Manta now put at back of shed and Cinq released from captivity for an appointment with Mr MOT inspector tomorrow.

Great fun drive home in the cinq, although took a while to get warm and settle into being driven again.

Defence of championship starts on 5th March, the day after the awards night for winning last years title.

Power steering was great, if a little bit overpowered.

Craig you will have a PM shortly.

However.........

the power steering encouraged me to try the 14 inch wheels.

Now

Cause or effect?

They haven't been changed for 4 years so no harm to it. I'd rather pop a shaft than break the gearbox.

There was no noise previously, the first noise was followed half a second later with grinding noises as it let go.

glad you like it. i thought it was over powered at first but got used to it. still got a lot more feel then most modern cars which are over assisted.

maybe we could get a even shorter rack off something/made


might of just been on of them things. bit like my mate who snapped a drive shaft on a totally standard cinq on the start line of a sprint track (did have cut slicks on)
