Those are wicked gaz! just like mini cad drawings. With the v6 wheels I'd save the document and then open it up to do the wheels in photoshop. You could do a hint of the interior as a silouette so the windows have some more depth which would finish them off a treat!

Styling kits available already (some are a bit runnish) http://www.absmotorsport.net/fiat-50...26d135a43f81f8 Euro'd Sports kit

Narp, the new 1.4 500 uses the same engine as the Panda and produces 100hp also. All 1.4 Fiat 500's are 100bhp, the 1.2 is 69bhp. No one is 100% what power the Abarth is suposed to be but it'll be more than 100bhp, likely it will be about 135-150bhp. I read somewhere that you can buy a fi kit...

Absolutly Seb! I can watch GTAIV and be impressed by that, but the amount of work to produce effects of this quality on a C64! The effects used in some demo's are beyond any game on that system. It makes me think just what could be forced from something powerful like a PS3 or 360 with enough...

That's f**king awsome snoop, all you need is a bit of music and you've got yourself a mini greetings screen! It's an artform! hence why I put the post up on here as I figured there might be some people on CS who've dabbled. I remember our Arch at school and we had a few basic demo's floating...

Is there anyone on here who is a fan of the computer demo scene? They are basicly a demo groups way of showing off their skills, like a combined portfolio of work but produced more for fun than anything else. Last years Assembly 07 winner. the PC demo Lifeforce by Andromeda Software...

Lots of nice photo's! http://www.italiaspeed.com/2008/motorsport/others/mille_miglia/sponsor_park/abarth/gallery/gallery.html I bet that would be a right hoot to drive!

You could write it in 50 ft letters it wouldn't make a difference. Like I said the 1.6 is a nippy enough shopping car but that's it. Did i mention the time I overtook a ferrari 360 on my push bike, yeah I'm thinking of entering the tour d' France or something now because them 360's are...

Never drive hard (ie more than say 3000 rpm) from cold, not just the needle going to half way on the temp but long enough for the oil to warm through (10 minutes) After that you can drive upto the redline. Frequently doing it may bugger your gear box before your engine. The red line should be...

Nice one Laura, there arn't enough girls about who like drawing cars. Years ago at uni we had a project which was; 'draw these items from memory then try again with reference and make comparisons' one of the items was a car. Only a couple of the girls could draw them, they were the ones...

1*2's are much brisker than 1.6's. That doesn't mean the 1.6 is a slow car it's really not a bad performer at all round driving. You can stick a load of patio slabs in the back and not even know you are carrying the weight, climb hills with ease and cruise at a sensible 70mph comfortably, they...

Very good! Have you organised who will fit them or will you do it yourself? I've always wanted coilovers, the bonus being you can play around with them to get the feel / look you want.

Is there a kick back on the pedal at low speeds, or any unusual noises when braking? Keep an eye on it and see when it happens again. Basically on my car the abs sensor ring (which is what the sensor takes a measurement from) was corroded on one side and snapped and free spinning on the other...

I would say that is slightly unusual. Are you're doing launch starts regulary? That won't do your car much good. I have nearly new tyres on the front of mine and it is very difficult for me to pull away even from a junction at anything above 2000 rpm without spinning the wheels up and making me...

Great. My other half's Ka lux is pearl blue and it's a real pain for swirling too but looks great if some time is spent on it, it goes between a blue/purple to a dark navy in the light. Look forward to seeing the finished result.

Looking fresh! Old school styling from VW on the interior, the seats are the same cheque pattern as my old scirocco, just different colours.

TFR (we used to use G101 I think it was called) can be diluted depending on the job you want it to do. It's a very powerful degreaser if mixed 50:50 and will mark window rubbers (they then require dressing) at anything more than tfr20:80water. I would say it's a solution I would wash a car with...

Cheaper parts means that the vehicle would cost less to repair, perhaps some statictics that show fiesta's are crashed / nicked less. Maybe the value of the vehicle is less so a total loss payout would be cheaper for them to settle?

Not bad! b****cks to paying over a grand to insure a 1.6 clio tbh.

To the OP; So is your car on finance? If it is have you checked with the company to check it's ok to make these types of conversions. Read the reviews I've posted up, one cars pretty much like another the only time people complain is when they misscalculate the amount of mileage they do and the...

Just noticed in my last post I put 88k, I think I made a bit of a crap guess at the mileage back then. Just look how many people have changed their cars since by their avatar.

Keep it for best do we? :) Saying that my car did 3500 miles last year, it only gets used for irregular journeys to meetings being as I'm freelance. I'd be better off with a 1.2 really.

Y 2001 - 1.6 16v rsi - 87,175

I think a conversion, done properly, is about £2,000 and I think you have to have a specific service done (like an mot) for the lpg install every year to check it's all ok. You still need some petrol for the first few miles untill the engine gets up to temp. My other half knows quite alot...

If you can do stuff to concorse standard you are onto a winner. You've paid a fairly sensible price. Once done up (and I mean restored with just some nice wheels on) these can fetch near £10k now, more if you go nuts with it. There's money in that for sure and the wedgies are only going to get...

Well it's a silver car and I'm not kidding I thought there were lumps in the laquer from the drips that had landed on the paint. Then I noticed he'd splashed it on and wiped it into all the unpainted plastics too, including the window rubbers and my heart sunk further haha. I remember srping...

You won't need to use much egp either, a little goes a long way. My dad bought a bottle and it lasted about 2 months he virtually empties half of it on the bonnet when he uses it.

I just have visions of you shaking the mac shouting "No you b*****d, Agggghh I'm making it worse!!!"

Does look like a really tidy little car that's been well looked after.
