1993 fiat panda Vtec project

[PandaSelecta]

As some of you may know i have recently bought a little panda for £125, but what most of you don't know is the fact that the car wont be staying standard for long

Current plans for it are a 1.6 Vtec from a 1996 Civic, uno turbo vented disc conversion for the front and back, lowering by a couple of coils, banded steels, and as its a japanese engine, i will be going for a slightly japanese style of body modding (stickers, exhausts, etc . Most of the fiat badges are going too (will be just leaving the grill badge).

Anyway, here are the pictures of what it currently looks like.....

that sounds like it iwll be a fast car ;D is it a common modification with these to put vtec engines in? will deffo keep my eye on this build. best of luck!

don't think its ever been done before, apart from a couple of people who have done things like hayabusa engined pandas

Interesting
Would it be worth using something to re-enforce the cardboard body?

A white K-reg Panda with a Honda Vtec, hmmm, been there, done that, got the T-shirt



Well, almost... I've currently got a honda dash loom spread accross the floor deciding what to chop and what to leave!! Then its just the case of some driveshafts, every thing else is done.

I can highly recomend making up a template for the early work, its all a bit of a tight fit



good luck.

Awesome project. When you're done with the oily bits, do something like this to the cardboard ones:
