Opinions?
 
Just as it was getting dark today a mate phoned me up to see if I wanted to have some photos taken. Shame the light was pretty **** but none the less got a few shots in. Could have done with a clean but it'll do.

Got off my arse and finally cleaned the car today after Uni. A few photos all taken on my crap camera phone but gives you an idea what the cars like.

Yeah, can't seem to get rid of it. Get it in all the lights. I've read it's a common Bravo problem though?

Yep - my first Bravo had it, had both clusters replaced and it got better but didn't go away. Second Bravo has it quite bad. My sister in law's Bravo doesn't seem to suffer it though!

So is it something worth talking to the dealer about?

Also before my warrenty runs out I want to get the car checked out, I doubt my dealer will do this. So if I take it to a Fiat Indy and ask them to do a checkup and write it all down, can I then take this to my Fiat dealership and ask them to check up on it and fix the stuff, even if it's only say the gearbox is getting a bit worn etc?

Should I do this at the end of the second or third year?
 
Your Fiat dealer can do a free healthcheck and should do this as part of the service. Remember the warranty won't cover wear & tear. Dealer would prob do it but may charge.

Regarding the lights, I'm on a course about 2 mins away from my dealer tomorrow so I shall pop in and irritate them again and have a moan :p. I'm sure they hate me!
 
Finally got round to getting it on a RR and getting it remapped and a GSR induction kit.

A 1.9 Mjet Grande Punto that came down (Was badged up as an Abarth though). After a new intercooler, remap and induction kit they went from 130bp~ standard to 193bhp. Pretty nice.

A nice little project one of the guys was working on as well.

Was a fun day, despite it taking close to 7 hours (had a few cars on the go). Check out these horrific Corsa's that turned up to the chav place opposite.

Anyway here's the graphs.

165bhp standard, up to 180bhp. Not a *massive* increase but the midrange bhp has gone up by nearly 35 at some points and I can feel the difference. Was discussing twin-turboing it which should take it to 250bhp but that seems pretty mad to me.

Mum went and brought a 57 plate black 1.4 90bhp Bravo yesterday as well.
