Grande Punto my grande punto, 1.4 8v :D

Introduction

so here goes, my first members thread..

Well i got the car in january of last year, after having a nissan micra, 2 vauxhall corsa's and a peugeot 306, i needed a change, so i went down to the dealership and forked out for this.

there she/he stood. The newest car iv owned.

So i immediatly washed it, which didnt turn out like i expected, i expected that glossy look, the look that water beads on ect but i got this...



Next a few months after i went about lowering it. I lowered it on cheapo ebay springs... bad move.. looked ok but ride was harsh :(



so thats where im up to, apart from some interior mods and my exhaust.

i do have plans tho ..


Plans

  • Abarth/Sporting headlights and fogs
  • 'induction' kit (purely for the noise)
  • Exhaust
  • New alloys
  • Tinting
  • ICE
  • and a surprise ;)

I know I know! Expensive to get started tho! Iv got a nitro airplane engine that im building into a boat.... dont ask... atm iv got 2.4ghz tans and recievers to convert my electric ones, and new shells, and lipo batterys coming in the post :)

Yeah, and expensive to keep running too, I think I break mine every time I use it haha! Mine's the HPI Trophy Truggy 4.6.

An aeroplane engined boat? Interesting :p
 
Yea well the aeroplane I got for 20quid :D beyond repair but had all the electronics, engine, and reciever all it didnt have was the crystals. Id love a truggy/buggy mate of mine got a tmaxx but wants 250 for it :'(

As for the aeroplane boat, say some designs on a site, not guna be immensly fast but does the job!
 
So things are in full swing for my stupid modifications :D changed my wheel colour to ford graphite grey... or anthricite, got bored of the white, also other bits and bobs have begun to arrive :D car off the road end of october to sort out the front suspension, and engine :) should have my lil beast back soon enough :D
 
So after having my alternator replaced, i began to thinking an engine swap is great if you have a doner car, if you dont, like me, then its not a good idea. So the parts i do have will be up for sale soon enough.

Then i began on thinking how i can make my car *better*. Exhaust, air, and cams are the starting point. Air is sorted i have a 1.6 throttlebody coming from ebay, exhaust is nearly sorted. Question about cams tho, can any others from any fiat cars fit in? Or is it going to be expensive ones.


Oh and before anyone says 'oh just save up for a quicker/faster car' i happen yo really like my cars and all her flaws, i like the fact shes being tempremental, i also like thw fact once shes goin shes a dream to drive!
