I have 0 hp attached to nothing. but if we take my r/c into account it has about 1.5 hp carrying about 3-5 pounds. Good evil fastness. I bet mine is the only one that can wheelie, flip, and crash into things and keep going.
No, I can do that, occasionally without spilling my pint, too!

mine's feeling slightly more rough and ready due to the 40mm drop and no interior..
It is an absolute hoot to throw around at non-license loosing speeds tho!

Miss my old Cinq... that thing was a hoot...
Look up UAD motorsports, or Middle Barton Garage... they had some fun stuff for the baby Fiats...
UAD are no longer... lot's of bad stuff went on there.. lot's of really unhappy people, if I remember rightly it went as far as getting the 's involved.. but don't quote me on that one!!
I've heard lot's of good things about Middle Barton tho, GSR also do a lot with the FIRE engine..
One good thing is, my prospective uncle in law type chap is Andy Pullen (i don't know if anyone know's who is he is, used to do a lot of rallying in the 70's and 80's) and he know's a thing or two about making cars go a bit quicker.. So I think I'll be having chats with him!

Mine is a Fiat Seicento
but it's got very little interior left, one standard passenger seat, and one OMP Eco comfy bucket seat for me!
The obligatory K&N and supersprint zorst give the extra 2 brake!
interesting...let me know when you need a new exhaust as i've got a still wrapped janspeed one just sitting in my hall doing nothing...I bought it 18 months ago and forgot to put it on my sporting!

don't worry, i've only got 110 bhp...although it's only attached to 550odd kilos of westfield
IIRC last year we were limited by physical factors en-route....
Me: How far I could press the pedal into the carpet
You: How fast your dare go without being able to breath whilst leant forward, face pressed against the windscreen

can't argue with that....
I'm lucky.. my 57 horses will be put to use driving from Evesham.. so not exactly far.
I have a feeling there isn't going to be a convoy from the 'sham..
BTW, bringing a BIG tent, so there's a spare room if anyone gets lost and needs somewhere to crash...
Can't imagine that happening.. it's a tee-total event isn't it?

Were you the chap in the punto last year? I seem to remember me and you driving for long periods of time flat out trying to catch "the pack" en-route to PF?!
Not I sir, unfortunatly I couldn't make it last year due to being bound for Spain (Going earlier this year!) Sounds like fun though - is it cheating if you attach a tow rope to the nearest Tuscan and catch a ride?
