Panda Midget4hire's Panda 100HP.

Introduction

As the punto has gone I had to look for a new car, with my job depending on having a car it had to be decided fairly quickly. I spent a day or so looking around online and the suggesstion of a panda 100hp was thrown in.
I made a quick call to the insurance company to see what it would cost. Luckily enough, even though its the same engine size and power its 3 insurance groups lower than the punto. So it hasnt cost much to change it over.

I collected the car on Saturday morning from Chesterfield
A few pics of it as it stands now

'Sounds' good! Can you please post a link to the supplier?

Its from shop4parts - Its just round the corner from where i work, which was a bonus. Gazellaracing have the ragazon equivalent, which will no doubt be better, but after the reviews ive read i didnt fancy risking it
Im not certain that its stainless steel, but its decent quality anyway
Didnt have to pay upfront either, they took card details and then when they receive the order they take payment



When you do servicing make sure you get the right plugs. The reason for mine being down on power was the wrong plugs sold to be by shop4parts :cry:.

Took it in for a service at my local fiat specialist (Quicksale Performance) only to get a phone call saying the plugs are the wrong ones and the right one's have a slightly different part code and are iridium and are £10 a plug :eek:.

Since changing them it's made a REAL difference :yum: :slayer:

I was about to ask this question, whats the diference between the iridium plugs and just the normal ngk ones?


It has nothing on the punto :(

I know, i loved that car to bits, literally
Im really enjoying this though, just needs suspension upgrading and it will be just as good as the punto

Re: Midget4hire's Panda 100HP

am loving your panda 100hp :).... I was wondering the centre pipe you got, is it the Marelli race pipe one? and what does it sound like under hard acceleration?

I just got my panda and am loving every minute of it, 900 miles in 4 days haha =D

Re: Midget4hire's Panda 100HP

that sounds absolutely awesome =DD.... not going to change the back-box aswell?

I opted for a custom cat back in the end, ask it to be loud but not too loud, hope it sounds like this =)

I want the ragazzon with the 2 exits, one either side of the defuser. Its about £400 though :/ maybe later in the year

You will have to post a video when its done
 
Re: Midget4hire's Panda 100HP

The car sounds awesome with that new mid-pipe was it hard to install it on a standard back box?

once the car was jacked up, it took about 10 minutes, maybe less. id recommend it to anyone and everyone
Cant wait to have a new back box too, thinking of getting a magnetti marelli one
 
Re: Midget4hire's Panda 100HP

Sounds good mate, how much was the mid pipe and where did you get it from?
