Realised I hadn't added any pictures, got it cleaned (not a proper job) today and grabbed a few before it got dark. Let's keep this friendly so no "OMG WUT ITZ A FIAT!1! U N00B!1234!" I've heard it all :rolleyes:

Stock it's running about 155bhp but with a GSR and map (which I'm looking at getting for about £400~) it'll be pushing about 185bhp~ which is good for 7.5secs~ to 60 apparently.

Opinions?

Nice, what engine is in it? Sport/Dynamic T-Jet 150?

Dynamic 150Tjet. Wanted all the mod cons that came with the Dynamic and as I've always planned for a remap the sport button would have become useless. Prefer the Sport seats though but oh well.
 
It's certainly a nice looking car, and it should drive well if my experience of other modern Fiats is anything to go by :)
 
Motors looking nice in the pics :)

My mate had one same as yours - I must admit I was pleasantly surprised after driving it. Regardless what anyone says about Fiats if your happy with it thats all that counts :cool:
 
t-jet? that's the same size engine as my cinquecento then ;)

(yes ok, you've got a turbo.. so have i, but it's on the shelf in the garage :D )

nice car mate, like it

You've put a Tjet in yoru Cinq? The Tjet's have only ever come with a Turbo and only been around since 2006~? Even the standard non-turbo current 1.4 engine from Fiat isn't called a Tjet only the 120bhp and 150bhp both with Turbo's?

Iirc it came from the old Fiat FIRE engine and has been increased to 1.4 and they've added the Turbo to bring it up to 150bhp.
 
tjet is just a name that is used on the bravo and gp. it is a 1.4 16v engine, *similar* to what is in my cinq. the t-jet engine is essentally the same, it just has different pistons and a slightly different crank. both of which can be retro fitted into the engine i have my cinq.

the 1368cc 16v is a bored out version of the old 1242cc 16v which first appeared around 1997 in the mk1 punto sporting. it has evolved a bit since then, but is essentially just that. the block owes its roots to the 8v FIRE engines first seen in around 1990.

Yeah knew it came from one of the older Fiat engines and the T was based on the standard 1.4 16v (also used in the Bravo - good for about 90bhp iirc?)

So you looking to put 150bhp~ into a Cinq, wouldn't that be suicidal?

it's a 1.4 isn't it?

the cinq will be around 110bhp to begin with, then pending a turbo conversion i want around 135bhp from it. i do not plan to fit the tjet pistons or crank, so will run it low blow. and yeah, it'll be silly quick. hell it was with the 1242cc 8v MPI engine it had in before this one :D

Yup was a typo (only current Fiat 1.6 is the new eco-mjet).
 
I have never seen one of these on the roads since they were launched.

I'd expect 7 dead to 60 with 185bhp at the minimum, esp if those are 16" wheels. Well, unless it's really heavy.

I liked my old Mk1 Punto, shame they aint done anything proper like the old 1.4 Punto GT. Hope you like it anyway :)
 
I like :)

May i suggest a small drop, just to fill them arches a little ?

They look a little high in pic 3
 
You totally did the right thing going second hand in the end. It's let you go right to the top end of the car one above what you originally wanted.

I've always like the looks of the Bravos from behind.
