haha im not guna say anything incase ben doesnt want me to all i can say is it might not be 100% definately happening as it has already cost ben alot and it requiers alot of work and custom made parts to get this certain thing working. and we all know anything custom made costs stupid amounts in the car world!

but i was speaking to ben last night and it sounds like hes getting on ok at the minute im sure he will update you soon :devil:

Lots of custom parts.... Coupe 20vt conversion?

Tom

haha no conversion im afraid mares well update you all
this was probz a stupid move on my part as i have spent almost the same as what i paid for the car for this and it still may not even work out... buttttt, i bought this lot from a guy in the USA at an OK'ish price:



for those that are wondering what the feck is that:

Air Lift Slam XL Front Strut Kit
Air Lift Auto Pilot V2 1/4 lines 5g Tank, 380C
Universal Air- Air House Bag
Air Lift Slam Rear Shock Kit
D-Cup Brackets
Smc Water Trap

and for those wondering what the feck is that:

AIR RIDE/BAGS/JUICE whatever you want to call it.

and for those wondering what the feck is that:

SUPER LOWSSSSSS!

basically the problem is they are universal struts so they fit any car but at the minute they are made for the MK6 golf. meaning my job is removing the fittings and things that are for the golf and getting custom little bits and bobs to make them fit nice and snug in the punto. but that is hard because people that make custom air kits arent willing to help me as i didnt get the kit from them. meaning i have to do everything myself haha so will definately take some time to get it finished not guna lie but hopefully it works out. if not i should be able to sell off and get most of my money back

once and if the air is in i will FINALLY after going on about it for ages source myself some badboy wheels. im either going affordable with some xxr's orrrrrr blowing all my money on some SEXY rotiform tmb's in oxblood red

also, tom, get a Members Motors thread up people will love your car its sick now its low!

This all sounds good mate but as I was reading it I just kept seeing £ signs constantly.

Screw air bags, get some more dougnuts and costas in you and your car will be scraping ground anyway

But I was right with Airbags
Should be freaking awesome!!!

The second GP on bags.. I think Jamie had his on bags in the end with auto camber. From his most recent update on CleanedUK, he went through a set of premium tyres in 300 miles!!!!

Oh and Bags = bag of shi*t handling btw

Tom

Good luck with tracking XD lol

if you don't drive at the level of the tracking was done, your going to be tyre distroying! XD

yeah to my knowlege jamie is the only person in the UK with bags although there are others overseas. still follow his thread on CleanedUK and looks like hes sold his rotiforms so can imagine he will put an update up soon

just want these sorted and fitted now its a right painnnnn!

Are you gonna go down the smoothed bumpers look?
Wasnt there speculation as to what engine Jamie had in his GP? There was a rumor that it had a coupe 20v in it at one point?

Tom

sorry to post in here, but has anybody got a link to jamies thread on cleaned-uk? cant find it anywhere?

chassis on the floor is a bit too much for me! haha, just going to hijack bens thread for a second, how much is your car lowered sam? I may be buying some black multispoke alloys so been looking at yours to get an idea of what it would look like as our cars are very similar
