Hi!
I'm from portugal as i stated in my presentation thread.
I recently bought a Punto HGT '99. It was cheap but with some problems and issues to solve.
Let's go....
Detected problems
=================
a) brake calipers painted in red (don't like it, will change)
b) front headlights with water inside
c) front seats with wracked side support
d) Need to change tires
e) front right suspension arm needs to be replaced
f) lower struct bar needs new bushes
g) need to replace both lower and side gearbox mounts support
To-Do Right Away
================
e), f), g)
To-Do Soon
==========
h) replace rims
i) coilovers
j) 4-2-1 stainless steel exhaust manifold + de-cat + custom backbox
k) CDA type air intake
Questions
=========
1) Can someone with a punto HGT get a dashboard photo with idle engine? I need to see where's the original position from RPM and KM/H needles. I think someone changed them. I noticed that at 150Km/h i've an error of 15/20km/h from my GPS. And my RPM redline is at 8000rpm and someone told me it should be at 7000rpm.
2) Can someone please tell me the original ET from HGT wheels?? I've a deal with some rims with ET43, can i use them?? Maybe i need some spacers.
Now i will post some photos
Just notcied my car key button don't work, maybe battery.
I opened it and saw this thing marked in red in the picture, can you please tell me what is it?
