Grande Punto 2nd car, 1.9 mjet sporting in orange ;)

55 is cheaper than 100 and this is replaceable with the flange.

And yes, plenty Smokey

Plus fitting, like £30-40!! for another tenner you could of had a solid built one shaped to fit with no welds with lifetime warranty, buy cheap pay twice butu guys know best

Nope not one bit, only time the car smokes is when it gets a big hit of millers diesel cleaner (can smell it a mile off)

If mine splits ill go to the local stainless exhaust place and get them to make their own instead

Okay so a few updates I'm a bit of a sheep and done the usual audi style front, not to mention the custom reg is now on


Abarth headlights, was going to get some fk projectors but I decided to stick with a more oem look and I also wanted the light height adjusters to work since they don't with aftermarket lights. This also means I'm using halogen bulbs instead of hid's like on the old GP and I've gone for some osram night breaker limited editions, best halogen bulb imo



Also the 3 rear tints with legal fly eye tint on the rear lights



Got lots of plans in the future, if my claim comes through there should be a new intercooler setup, lowering springs, exhaust tip raised, maybe some body work such as a rear diffuser, and I'd like some sort of drl s instead of the useless foglights

Can't remove the double photos on phone sorry

Looking good

Putting this here more so as a sort of service history for when I come to sell the car in a couple years, I'll send the owner this thread and they can see all servicing and such and it's date going to change the oil with castrol edge 5w40 which is the best imo, and the gearbox oil with millers trx 75w80 as recommended by opie oils for the m32 box. Planning on changing the box oil yearly / 10k miles at the most and the engine oil every 5 - 8k miles.

Opie told me to use fuchs titan sinto, but that was for a mapped car???

Nice car! I've got a similar one

Was just wondering what you used behind the front number plate to make it black?

He recommended titan as the no1 box oil for the m32 but there was an offer on the trx and he said its still a very good oil. When I next change the oil I'll be going for the titan definitely. Previous owner had recently replaced the oil about 4k ago with oem stuff and it came out runny and brown

I went to a place that did my window tints that also do car and dash wrapping and they did it no problem, I'd get a local wrapping place to do it it's very fiddly to do

Forge braces and a hid kit with about 50 million wires for me to work out

Eek, hids on reflector lights?

I thought that too, but I got 35watt versions and the bulbs have the tips covered like normal halogen lights, unfortunately no garage can work out what the wires do so they wont be on for a while

Little update, got the braces fitted although i had to get the exhaust lifted near the small brace lucky for me it was free, also had to put a few washers on to lower it a bit. Makes a big difference imo well worth it.

Forgot to mention the car is now mapped running 175bhp i would put the torque down but ive lost the printout, im going back soon anyway for a few tweaks maybe push it a bit harder too but the turbo is on it's limit.

Next on the list:

-65k service with Fuchs Titan Race Pro S, and Fuchs sintofluid for the gearbox.

-Either take the inlet manifold off and clean it out since the I've blanked the egr and had it mapped closed too. Only makes sense to clean all the existing **** out, or just use some whyms egr cleaner and get most of it out.

-Hybrid turbo build, at just under 1k it will be a while yet Then get it mapped in.

-Maybe get the gearbox bearings shimmed or just get new ones that arnt tighter than insert joke here.

-Forge intercooler with silicone pipework

After that I think some lowering springs if I feel like it then I can't think of much more to do tbh, very happy with the car atm it's in perfect condition and runs better than new.

That is a unique color!

Who did you go to for mapping then

Went to big fish tuning in Stokesley, I get an extra 10mpg easily, and so much more power it's unreal from this car tbh

Some stuff came today

R Thought I'd put a couple pics up of the mjet after a good clean consisting of dettol apc to remove all wax layers, then a once over with a carbon collective clay mitt which is such a good product, then sealed in platinum paint, wheels and glass. Then a layer of detail spray.

The paint seal is really good, and leaves a great glossy shine, the wheel seal is good but tbh I still find the wheels need a good scrub to keep clean, not exactly effortless like they described it. The glass seal is good and sheets water really well but if you don't apply it perfect you get horrible streaks when it gets wet, and my inside window seems to fog up a lot more too

Very nice vehicle you have there sir, what is the colour / colour code of your wheels?

Lovely car. How much did you pay for this when you bought it if you don't mind me asking? Might be on my list as my 2nd car.
