Pukka motor! A TRUE sleeper as no one would expect THAT from such a dinky little cute car! The girls must LOVE that car! It was always little stuff like Minis and Fiat 500s etc that proved the most popular with the majority of girls.
@@1979rhino The crash tests on these cars were absolutely catastrophic. The whole frame bent. You were very lucky. ruclips.net/video/NlDS8SMWTf8/видео.html
I had one of these for my first car back in 1997 ,a great little car bringing back some good memories watching this,this is an awesome car and in the best colour
I had a Van Aaken Turbo conversion on my Sporting back in 1996. A whopping 105bhp...would pull right off the clock (120mph) all the way to the limiter in 5th. Was hilarious fun.
I remember years ago going in one of these that was completely stripped out and had a 1.2 16v engine and that was mad, so this must be out of this world...love it!!! 👍
Head lining should be black lol where did you get the italian stickers for seats on the silver bit its good size ? Blue colour was sooo common seen lots lol
Been hoping you will do a video on a cinquecento sporting with a abarth t jet it's something iam really debating doing to my cinq great video as always guys
If the pedals are too close, left foot braking won't help, get yourself some proper shoes. Will transform the feel of driving. Trust me😅 stunning little car that, bet it's a right b road basher, certainly stick up the arses of alot of cars on tight bendy roads🤤 needs a cage, lsd and some big brakes
That gets two thumbs up 👍👍 from me. My missus had a sporting years ago. I put a Punto GT motor in it then sold it but I wish I'd kept it and put that motor in now there in breakers yards.
I had a Broom Yellow Cinquecento Sporting that had various engines throughout its life, but had a 1.4 16v when I eventually sold it. I fit in, and I used the Cinquecento box so didn't need to fab any mounts but did need to take the angle grinder to the drivers side mount. It had the same Punto GT front brakes, and then Uno Turbo rear disc conversion (used the car's original front discs on the rear for that!). I miss that car, but do have an R53 Mini now which is scratching that itch.
Hey, just wanted to say that your videos are so entertaining that it feels like time flies while watching them. Keep up the awesome job! Cheers from Spain.
I raced a stock one of these on my Italjet Dragster Scooter 172cc, i think he thought he could finally beat something off the lights i looked over to him and i think he was trying to impress his GF, so we took off and i left him for dead, his GF was laughing and he was not. Felt a little sorry for him as i think he thought it was a little 50cc scoot but mine was modded with 172cc big bore kit, exhaust sport variator and uprated clutch. Was somewhere under 8s 0-60mph with 80mph+ top speed. It was also a yellow one but before the inbetweeners made it famous haha. Love this one though install looks really clean like it was always meant to be there. I dont think i would have much luck beating this one off the lights haha.
Love it love it love it. In 1998 I had an M reg sx, I slammed it and dare I say, a K&N air filter. It was 899cc, couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding but it took corners like it was glued to the road. M481 VMA I think
I still have my cinq still with its 899cc engine. Good tyres and lowered as low as it can go and drive it flat out all the time. Love it but would love it more with this kind of power
I dropped a Punto GT 1.4 Turbo lump from a smashed Punto GT into my old 1995 Broom Yellow Cinquecento back in 2006/2007. I had to modify the bumper for the rad and intercooler but it pretty much dropped straight in and was stupidly quick back then. God knows how mad this must be to drive! 😂, unfortunately it threw a rod after 18 months and that was then end of that.
I want one, haha. I bet that upsets some drivers 😂😂I love this channel. All the cars are awesome and unique, big up T.E.C. to good health. I'm looking forward to future builds respect from 🏴
I learned to drive in one of these my mum had 3 of them one in this colour, one in yellow and the last one we had was a black one I got it up to 90mph on the motorway from the standard engine
What happens is you build the car I've had in my head for god knows how many years and never been able to get the funds and time. I've got one in the exact same colour sat in my garage and I had the exact same plan for it. Been off the year 9 years now :(
Just start unbolting things mate make a start buy a engine and go from there , Took me a year to finish off just don't rush things if you need any help let me know
@@Tjetinside ah thought it sounded like a HKS! Didn’t realise you could run one on the Abarth engine (know a lot of modern cars you have to run part reserc valves to stop eml and running issues with MAF ect) sound really good 😍
VERY cool car and always liked the look of the Cinquecento but boy watching the crash test results put me off, never seen worse results from a Euro car. Slight prang in that and you're losing an appendage or ending up in a wheel chair.
Taking the car higher up the BHP, will run into cooling issues. Also, didn’t hear him mention uprated engine mounts - that drivers side headlight will pop out if solid mounts aren’t used.
Is it any chance to contact the owner? I have identical one and would like to ask a few questions about the conversion... I'm planning to start my projects before Christmas this year 😉... So if is possible to send me any contact details I will be very appreciated 😁cheers
I respect all the cars except Hyundais (being honest)....about Abarth...abarth resides in a suite located in my heart....but for this one?? He could have picked some better body..but at the last...this lil thing is both beautiful and ugly at same time....love it..
i have olso sporting from 2005 with 309.275 km on lpg but why arbath nothingdit on the motor!!only 54 bh or pk take the motor of the panda 100hp shame abarth!! look me nice 100hp!!!!!! SORRY THATH NICE CAR!!!!!! 150hp????WHAAAAAAAAA
so much money put in this thing and then it's on toyo t1r's from 2019 those tires were already shit to begin with at least the the new tr1's or some ns2r's or something else decent.
Great conversion, glad to see people are still messing around with engine conversions
and many more would do, if you didnt have all the regulations in the way haha
Thats my uncle his car is so good
Your not wrong 👊
I swear I’ve seen this car in Leyland where I live.
@dan23_17 no its not from round there mate

@@GAZELL_Racing There is one, this colour too.
Clubcento sticker takes me back. One of the most fun cars I’ve ever owned, especially on the bendy roads.
Oh yes. I remember we had an awesome few convoys and economy runs! 🙃
Awesome. Definitely needs a roll cage. Them things have the integrity of a crisp packet.
Had a big smash in mine and we was all ok thankgod suprisingly strong
@@1979rhino thank goodness hey.

A lad we knew lost his foot just above the ankle when he crashed one of these in a car park. 15- maybe 20mph. Crisp packet is being very kind.
Cracking vid. Pocket rocket sleeper. And who doesn’t love a sleeper! Hats off to the owner. Built a little weapon
WOW! Just WOW!!!!
Loved the 1.1 turbo conversions back then... Novitec, Hörmann, good old times!
I had one of these for my first car back in 1997 ,a great little car bringing back some good memories watching this,this is an awesome car and in the best colour
Probably the most interesting car content video i watched in a while, and such a perfect build..props to the owner 🙏

What a great car, great spec brilliantly built.
Nostalgia, my first car was a grey/silver one of these 1.1l 55bhp. Would of loved something like this back in 2003
Mine too :D R935 OEB if i recall lol
Would be even better if it was this mad swap but yellow with a 1 red door Inbetweeners spec
Hahahaha shouting at bus wankers too 😂
I remember years ago going in one of these that was completely stripped out and had a 1.2 16v engine and that was mad, so this must be out of this world...love it!!! 👍

Wicked little car. Colour is absolutely gorgeous.
I'm only 20 seconds in and i love this already! ✌🏼🌍
Watching in Turkey.. taking TEC international😁
Eyyy come on👏
Nice to see your son taking the lead, you must be very proud 🙂

Bet that is a weapon on the road ❤
I've got a gt4 wrc and he leaves me at the lights 😂
What a mint little sleeper👊🏻👌🏻
love this mate 🏆🏆👌👌🤙🤙
Inbetweeners stealth car. Love it. Also like the way Fiat tried to do us English over with "Cinquecento", rather than 500.
Just come across a cheap punto hgt with a blown engine im wanting to do this to. Always liked fast cinqs 👍
My first car back in 2004 was a black Cinquecento Sporting, proper fun little car. Beat a Nova SR in a race 😂 good to see one properly modded.
I own a citroen nemo with same engine ,drives better than my focus rs 2010 😎
is that the white one that was remapped by Ultimate Vehicle Remaps in 2022 and posted on Facebook?
Ne avevo una anche io nel 97' comprata nuova e venduta nel 2006 con 180.000 Km fantastica

Such a cool little thing
which brand are them air deflectors?
Love this !!
I have often dreamed of buying a cheap Cinquecnto and shoving a Hyubusa engine in, for fun and giggles.
It's been done before. Not as good as you'd think, not torquey enough but sound is stunning.
This is almost exactly my goal for my 1.1 suzuki alto. A 1.5 turbo from a swift in it aiming for about 150hp
Always wanted to put a Punto 1.4GT Turbo in my Cinq Sporting but it rusted out first 😥
1 on ebay with a uno turbo lump
Amazing what power u can get out of that engine
Love it👌😎
No need for more power... ❤
Awesome car and epic build ..so neat ❤
Had a 98 in that colour
Good job
Merci pour cette découverte ! ;)
Great build 👍
What dump valve is it running? Sounds good like a hks? Normally not that great sounding on these engines?
It's running a hks ssqv
@@Tjetinside ah thought it sounded like a HKS! Didn’t realise you could run one on the Abarth engine (know a lot of modern cars you have to run part reserc valves to stop eml and running issues with MAF ect) sound really good 😍
@RichardHLawson yea sounds nice and I've had no issues so far running it
@@Tjetinside yeah best sounding valve imo! If you look at my videos I ran on on my JCW r56 minis and polo gti 6c ❤️
bro wtf? OUR BATH seats and CHICK CHECK what? Are you serious? I'm not Italian but this is fkn ridiculous 😂😂😂
Had 2 of these.. me and the door team used to use it, one of them was a 22st bodybuilder 😆
You wasn’t riding in one you was wearing it 🤣🤣🤣
They are like a gocart round corners,
VERY cool car and always liked the look of the Cinquecento but boy watching the crash test results put me off, never seen worse results from a Euro car. Slight prang in that and you're losing an appendage or ending up in a wheel chair.
Taking the car higher up the BHP, will run into cooling issues. Also, didn’t hear him mention uprated engine mounts - that drivers side headlight will pop out if solid mounts aren’t used.
He's definitely addressed these I can assure you 🤌🏻
Stick nitrous on it too 😊
What gearbox?
Ps see the yellow cento on the left
It's running a 500 abarth gearbox
Up near Greenfield Dove Stone Reservoir Binn Green. Nice place a good road for a ride 👌
Naaaaaaa guarda li cos'hanno fatto 🤩 TOP !!!
I’ve just realised I was unsubscribed for some unknown reason 😂😂😂 I am now subscribed 🎉🎉🎉
My mate rolled his 1st car same colour as this
T-Jet power babyyyyy
9:14 I wouldn't want to drive that in boots, it would be so embarrassing getting kicked out of the pharmacy for taking g your car in
How has the rear disc conversion been done? Of which model Fiat are they?

Can someone recommend a clutch for this?
