new punto owner!!!!!

YEAH!! im special!!!


Can a mod or sum1 remove my pics then so i can change them?? i cant edit it for some reason!???

First small prob!

I sometimes get an airbag warning show up saying they have failed!? Sometimes it just goes away, if not just have to turn it on and off! Anyone have any experience of this??

Gave it a wash and polish 2day! Lots of small stone chips tho!

Why does the volume on the radio not stay the same??? Keep having to turn it up everytime i start it up!!!!

And does anyone know what size wheels dave has on his punto?? the white comps, they look stunning!!! And how low hes gone?? Or if Dave reads this he can tell me!

He's on 17"s .

Yeah the airbag problem is common as muck. I have experienced this, Dead easy fix luckily :-

Just follow that guide its exactly the same on the mk2b Sporting.

As for stereo get it replaced already

As ChrisUK said they are 17's but I don't think he runs them anymore, I think he runs 15's now. He might sell you the 17" Compomotives if you ask him?

And I think he's running FK Coilovers and is probably lowered around 60mm, I run FK Coilovers as well and highly recommend them. Car handles like a Go Cart on them.

I will do soon! Want the Alpine x100 or X200 i thiink! And an ipod of course!

How much did you pay for your Fk's ??


Damn need to save a lot more if im going to buy coilovers, alloys, HU, and the GSR/remap!

I got my FK Silverline coilovers for a great price of £445 delivered from http://www.rimstyle.com, they have gone up to £505 now though.

I would recommend getting the Silverlines though if you are going to get any FK coilovers, they are the same as the Highsports except they are made out of stainless steel so won't rust like the Highsports do.

I wouldn't get the Konigsport's or Silverline X's, they are overkill for road use IMO.

ive just lowered my 1.2 8v mk2b 30mm front and 15mm on the back just to stop it looking like its on stils and its going to blow over. They are PI springs and won them on ebay brand new for 23 quid which was and ace buy. Handling has improved massivly. before on standard springs when i booted it the front of the car came up like a mile and when i cnahed gear it went down loads but now it stays flat and its stays flat around bends going fast. No body roll im so pleased i did get them now. Lowering FTW!

ill post up a pic later

Cool would like to see what that looks like, springs may be a more realistic choice for now unit i can afford the FKs!!

Get the FK's, you won't regret it. Might as well do it right the first time.

Well we will have to see!!!

Need more money!!

Would love to be able to do all this right now!! Then stick a T-JET engine in the front!!!!!!!!!


That would be fun!

I've already thought about that .

Keeping an eye out in the salvage

Nice one!!!!!

hehehe

would leave GPS T-Jets for dead i think, weight difference etc!!

Would be nice if you could keep the 6speed gearbox too! Only 5sp standard!

Yeah it would if they could take the power .

If not wouldn't matter, still be a cracking car, lightweight, fast, etc!

Has anyone ever put any other engine into a m2b sporting or similar??? Just wondered!

Think the T-JET would be the best engine for it though, still quite light etc.

There has been talk about putting the Punto GT engine into Mk2 Punto's in the past and I think 1 or 2 people might have done it. But that engine is old now and will most likely need a full rebuild before you even start plus you will need custom engine mounts.

The T-Jet engine is a much better choice because it is more modern and should bolt straight onto your current engine mounts. Also as it is more modern it will generally speaking be more reliable than the old Punto GT lump.

All I can say is that a T-Jet engine in a Mk2/Mk2b Punto would make a cracking car.
