Punto (Mk2/2b) My second mk2 punto (project)
- Thread starter Munkul
- Start date
:yeahthat: its always gonna be more driveable no matter how cool a 20vt rwd punto would be. not really a cop out from where i am, i couldn't really believe you started another punto when you started this thread.. How far along did you get, or did you not get past stripping the car...
Gonna be a good outcome this haha

cheers 
its great fun to drive, im in it at the moment while the punto gets some bodywork TLC. With only 1200ish kgs it doesnt feel much heavier than the punto, it handles fantastically with the Daiyama coilovers (although very stiff) and is running somewhere between 250-300bhp. Probably closer to 250 though, need to get it rolling roaded. Just got to watch it in the wet cos it slides so easily!
I have more of a social life these dayso) so a full blown project is more than i can be bothered to do, and it would take many years, which im not even sure i'll be around these parts for that long so simple, fast toys... the future! Plenty plans for this still
I made a lot of money back from breaking the HGT shell (the cage was worth well over double what i paid for the car!) and broke even on the sporting shell, so its all good and no, i stripped both cars then decided to wait for a cheap 20vt to come along before doing any more... glad now that it didnt!

ohoho Daiyama coilovers, my brother was the sole trader for them in uk like2 years ago. Also been to their factory in taiwan amazing piece of kit for a very good price .
I was so tempted to have a set made for the cento, but didn't think there would be enough interest .....

ta, yeah i thought it was going to be a gamble being "cheap" for fully adjustable coilies, but bought them solely on the fact that Team Japspeed use them for drift and circuit use and have a lot of success with them. So far I love them out of interest, what sort of price could they do em for fiats do you know?

i reckon any full set of adjustable coilover would generate loads of interest.. am i not right in thinking you can only get front coilovers for a cento - it has been a while since i looked for any mind..
