    Cinquecento 1242 mpi turbo

    Yes i am now the proud owner of two italian stallions, my new weekend car the cinque 1242 mpi turbo (the other italian stallion is my sr50). Picked up the cinque today. Needs a spell on the RR as it is overfuelling and it is gonna take some getting used to driving, but fook me is it a little flying machine. Take a look at youtube to get an idea of how fast these little buggers are.

    There was no figure, just said open to offers, as the car owed him too much.

    What did you pay for it then?

    Wat sort of 0-60 time is it running?always looked quick in chesterfield, but no body ever knew how quick

    Needs rring

    Needs RRing as it is running rich, the ecu was set up on the 1108 engine. I payed 1800 which is what i offered the first day it was up for sale. He picked it up for 1350, then u can add compomotive alloys (320), 1242 engine, abarth skirts and all work done as per spec list, mot, 300 odd quid setting up engine with the work that has been done to the car. When set up properly i will find out the proper 0-60 and power output, High boost 1108's are putting out 110+, Ghostwkd who is selling his 1242 high boost on fiat forum estimates 140, so i would say somewhere in between there at 0.8 bar, What i can say is even not set up it is fast, and i mean proper fast, check out some of ghostwkd's films on youtube to get an idea, and that was before it was set up properly. The lad that came round of fiat forum the other day to have a gander has a high boost 1108 and he has a recorded 0-60 0f 6.9 at york drag strip. Will keep people updated as i find things out myself.
