hi everyone, LONG time no post.
iv been busy with many things..
last October i installed my 1242 16v engine and 5 speed punto gear box.
it drove absolutely brilliantly !!! everyday and i LOVED IT !
i had thought of things to take the project even further, but didnt have the time to take it off the road really.
end of Feb this year i snapped two ligaments in my ankle and was left in a cast and on crutches for a month and a half.
so i went for it !!! (on crutches)
i then added a turbo on custom homemade turbo manifold
an oil cooler
an intercooler
bonnet scoops above them both
a dump valve
5th injector fueling setup
a custom homemade strut brace with ecu and relay mounts
a decompression plate
painted lots of things red
added spot lights
fitted 6 extra gauges
a recaro driver seat
a pair of 6x9s in the rear and 5x5s on the dash to help the cd player
re covered things with red corduroy
once my leg had recovered i drove it nearly fainted due to the fun/power, but after a few days due to a fueling fault (extra fuel for boost broke) the head gasket went and it made lots of white smoke out of the exhaust.
current spec is ......
lowered 40mm stiffened
14" cromadora alloys with 195/55/14 tyres
custom strut brace
saab spot light in bumper
fiat X19 side vents put into bonnet
tinted windows
4x4 side bumpers and centre bonnet vent
extra gauges - oil temp,boost,volts,amps,revs,air/fuel ratio
good sound system
cinq sporting steering wheel
1242cc 16v mk1 punto sporting engine
aftermarket uno turbo intercooler
lightened flywheel
sports clutch
punto 5spd box with laithed down cinq spoting driveshafts
custom engine mounts + gear links
full 2" custom exhaust straight through de-cat to one Peco silencer+3" exit
garrett T15 turbo charger
2" boostpipes
baileys dump valve
k+n
oil cooler/sandwith plate with clio 16v oil filter +oil catch tank
hope you like the pics !!!!
