Just wondering if anyone would be interested in my new project.... Im fitting an XE into a fiat seicento... (about half the size of a nova lol)....

Ive already got interest from a mag to feature the car upon completion (if done to a show standard... which it will be)..

Ive tapped a link for anyone thats interested as i didnt want to spam the nova forum with my fiat pictures lol.

Its even funnier because if that fits so does a LET if you can find room for some pipes lol

Nar, just trying to work out why when i connect the throttle position switch my car acts like its havin a fit, but without it connected it runs fairly fine..

If you wanna bring it over mate i can have a look? Got my xe here to so can try some sensors etc to rule things out.

Sorry mate only just got back on here and noticed this!! Ive swapped the complete throttle plate over today as the early XE TPS sensor wouldnt fit the one i had fitted (the screw attatchments were spaced differently)... Have yet to test it, but il let you know if it sorts it out. If not then id appreciate it sometime in the future, if it gets sorted il throw a few cans your way :thumb:

Seems to have done the trick,... car doesnt hop with it connected and there is a lot more wheelspin, so can only assume more power lol

Ended up fitting the one on the left with the larger adjustable TPS sensor.

Cheers for the offer matey!

Nice one good to hear it mate.

Still bring it over sometime though wouldn't mind seeing it in decent light sometime and have a propper look around if your up for a little trip over.
