Recently picked up a 56 M-Jet, 92k on the knocker, FSH, leather interior, clean straight standard car at the moment and finished in exotica red. I owned a black T-Jet with Abarth wheels, after market exhaust (Fitted by prospeed Cardiff) and a remap to 165bhp, good car but i sold it as a very special 172 cup I wanted for a long time became available.

I fell ill shortly after and had to stop driving, working and all that jazz whilst I was receiving treatment, So back on the road now with my standard M-Jet. great to be back :)

I am very keen on a remap asap and before I jump ahead wondered if anyone else has been considering one as we will receive a discount if there is a team of us. The car is going in shortly for its 108k service as it is almost a year since the last one, a wheel bearing has gone on front passengers side so will be getting that done at the same time.

Fixed a problem myself where the boot was occasionally showing as open (it wasn't). stripped the lining, found a small amount of water was getting through one of the gromits, resealed the gromit, cleaned the lock, job done finished.... Happy days. Very happy, you will see a lot of me here guys :)

Welcome back and hope all your troubles are car related in future....
 
Cheers dude, feeling great now. Totally enjoying the Punto. Bit of styling and a remap and I will be well away... Probably been done to death but Red and black will be my theme (black mirrors, black wheels, red calipers and de-badged grill, drop it 50mm and remap.... Then I will be happy for the cars duration :)

Oh, I would like a splitter as well, you guys still using the Leon splitter? Or are people developing one now?

Bridgend dude, I have had a lot of work done by Charlie over the years, top bloke. I should imagine when the time comes I will be going there again :)

I love the leather seats on this car.

How it feels compared to your previous tjet gp?
 
I am enjoying it. compared to how I remember my T-jet it isn't as refined, the diesel has a drone which I believe adds character :)... But with the right subtle modifications and a re-map I believe this beast will perform very well, on par if not better than the T-Jet (wishful thinking maybe) only time will tell.
 
Yippee, found my old account :) 2009 since last post but here it is.... I will post from here now... Nice Motor Richyse7en, even if I do say so myself :)
 
Just had a full set of Toyo Proxes T1r's fitted :) Vogtland 35mm springs on the way and ordered myself a de-badged front grill.... photos to follow
 
Springs and de-badged grill fitted, decided I am going with a red and yellow theme, so my next move is to get the wheels powder coated yellow, yellow wing mirror shells, scrub the callipers down and paint them red. Toying with the idea of spraying the de-badged grill yellow. Pro-Speed for a new exhaust towards the middle of August and then the remap. colour scheme first.
