Grande Punto col7104's Grande T-Jet

Ha I remember how depressing the wait was! Don't worry - it's well worth it

Cheers Si, onwards and upwards for you though!



:devil:

Nice hair dryer

LOL wouldn't want to use that as a hairdryer...flames and sh!t come out of there (well...hopefully)

Also experienced my mate's Forge-braced GP. Liking the effect but not paying £45 or whatever they are for two bits of stainless bar! Went to the local metal merchant and picked up the materials I need for £20, fixings included :slayer:. Just need to get under the car now to take some measurements and drill the holes.

All that work to save £20 . Boy you are keen lol.

Don't mind paying up if I think it's worth it, but, if you have the tools at home and a bit of time, think of the extra drinks you can buy on your night out! Admittedly not many for £20 these days

lol true.

That looks suspiciously like an Esseesse turbo!?!?!

I think you're right!




It's amazing how comprehensive Abarth are with their upgrade kit. This is scraping the surface of parts in there!

Loving it mate. Bet that cost a pretty penny.

Yeah, but when you encounter the chance to buy this lot you can't pass it on!

For those that may PM me, it was through one-off circumstances that this became available and luck that I was first to snap it up. Sorry to disappoint!

He is waiting for the exhaust being finished, which takes a bit longer than expected.

:yeahthat:

Waiting for a full stainless system which is currently being fabricated. The cat will be relocated to underneath the car (as opposed to in the downpipe).


In the meantime, I bought Roadhawk. Ever since my crash (in the Sei) I've wanted such a system because it took so long to prove I was not at fault. I think something like this would have cut down the time drastically. Heard about this as an alternative to T-Eye (which isn't that aesthetically pleasing) on the LL thread. It arrived this morning and is now fitted.

Unclipped this bit:


Hasn't gone back in very well mind you LOL. Need to take another look at it.

Nice and discreet wiring:


Using some winding wire to pull the power cable through:



Took the ignition live from the cig socket as I notice GPs don't have a switched feed on the stereos.



It's fused, soldered, heatshrinked and self-almagamating taped D) - what an absolute pig it is trying to solder three wires together down in that space, but got there in the end.

And thar she blows:
