shes a woman, she will notice nothing

 

[pk090]

well...she didnt notice when i snapped the exhaust off at the flexible joint...the bloody thing sounded like a tank!

Could get those really sticky pads and attach it to the back of the seats. Just looks really odd that it's wham bam in the middle where you could have boot space

Like I said I have a aluminium cover for it that allows air to circulate and also means you can put loads of weight on it without actually touching the amp or wires. Only ever use my boot really when we go camping and it does for that

saves costs.

they have the same rev limit, and neither of them can do 120mph so it makes sense

Yeah but the 16v can get that little bit closer

its basically the same engine the 16v and 8 v only the fuel economy is better on one and torque in differant places...i still cant get my head round how the 1.2 engine how they can get 75hp from the 60hp engine...lol

You ain't wrong about the fuel economy. Driving it like a punto should be driven gives you about 45mpg still, and economy fiendly driving gets you around 57mpg, that might have something to do with the engine only having 15k though.

i have the same head unit as you , nice car as well mate

I love this headunit, a steal at £75 does everything I need and the EQ and x-over settings are very detailed.

Are you crazy, women (especially mothers) notice everything

They came with the car, they suit it really well except there are 3 yellow daisies (conveniently hidden behind the gear stick in that pic) so not the most manly

 

[1PuntoCarl2]

You'll hear it before you see it and thats saying something as its bright yellow

not with a mutant set up we wont... lol...

car looks nice mate, i have that same HU aswell. quite a good kenwood HU imo.

what other plans have you got for the car?

You havn't heard it, please don't judge it until you have. Mutant aren't as bad as people make out. Wish you would come to a meet and we could settle this whole mutant argument for good. Yes they aren't the most expensive and best quality but they are excellent value for money. They don't burn out and blow. I have had this sub for a couple of years now and it moves some serious air around. And although its not the LOUDEST its ideal for a small hatchback like the punto.

And as for the plans I want to:
lower it (dunno how or by how much yet).
Put an active sport bumper back on.
Spray the spoiler as its too light.
Refurb the alloys in antracite with a yellow lip.
Gonna get some official fiat sunshades.
Put some sporting/abarth skirts on.

See where we go from there.
Maybe GSR induction and remap, I prefer styling over performance tbh.

http://shop4parts.co.uk/ for a front bumper its 136ish tho but brand new and primed..looks good execept the bumper realy tho

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Yeah I tried there but thats just for the bumper though. By the time you have purchased the grill, inserts and fog lights its way too much:



Havn't got that kind of cash

 

[SAAAAAAM]

ahhh i see best to look around scrappys then...

 

[joe-bloggs]

ahhh i see best to look around scrappys then...

good luck there like rocking horse ****

 

[smokeyjoe03]

good luck there like rocking horse ****

:yeahthat:

But I happen to live a few miles from a Fiat Breaker who is keeping an eye out for me.

Might also be talking to a body shop soon to see what they can come up with custom-wise whilst still still keeping the origional punto look.

Just the lack of funds atm thats stopping me really :bang:

 

[karbineftw]

What's the difference between the active and one you have on now? It looks fine

 

[smokeyjoe03]

What's the difference between the active and one you have on now? It looks fine

The active is the one I have now, It should be the active SPORT bumper:

Active (current)

Active SPORT (needed)


the differences are a smaller center grille, larger side grill with foglights, lower lip on the bottom and No black insert above the number plate. Looks completely different imho.

Plus if I am getting some skirts the rear bumper and skirts will be at a lower level thant the front bumper, it just doesn't go at all.

well i have heard mutant before, and imo i just dont like it, im not having a go at you, just trying to say i dont think mutant is very good. JBL is a budget brand and sounds alot better/clearer that mutant. but each to their own i guess.

sounds good mate, will be keeping an eye on this progress . i think lowering it by 40 is a nice sublte height.
where could i get a gsr induction kit from? i'm wanting 1 for my 1.2 8v.

Well this week I went on a camping trip............car had some highs and lows.

We went on our annual trip to Shell Island, in Barmouth and to get there there is a mountain called Dinas Mawdwy (i think thats how its spelled), the car absolutely flew up it, what a difference 8 extra valves make.

And as far as twisty Welsh roads go, the car handles like a dream, plently of overtaking oppertunities with people towing caravans and with an average consumption of 52mpg who can complain.

However a brick chip (not a stone chip, this thing was huge like a rock, we saw it coming) hit the bottom of the windscreen and it split top to bottom, being fixed tomoz. And the battery died due to playing Metallica and BFMV all evening without starting the car :bang: was drunk and forgot.

Other than that it performed really well, first long journey in the thing at I think there may be many more
