Grande Punto (Abarth) My Punto Abarth :D

Introduction

My Punto Abarth!

Hey people, Just picked her up saturday :) 19 years of age very lucky to have it! 250miles in 2 days getting her home(180miles) and driving round :p Brilliant car!
Will post some pics up when the weather clears up (not likely in Wales :p)
as Christmas is on the way I'm getting a awesome present off the father.. a dodo juce buff daddy DA. been scanning detailing world for.a bit now and as I'm happy with my car performance wise I think it needs a good cleaning up. so I've bought myself

poorboys slick suds shampoo
BH medium clay bar
poorboys red wax
muc off degreaser
I already have a quick detailer and alloycleaner.

I also bought 2metres of 4mm red silicone hosing to replace the old vac pipes on the car and maybe fit a boost gauge to the Right pillar?

19 year old with an abarth, jesus i was still on 125s then took me until 21 to get a standard grande! And insurance less than a grand, i got 1years ncb and im 21 my renewal is £1800!! wtf lol! lovely car mate look after her
 
Thanks everyone for the comments :) just got my renewal fully comp at 20... £600!, Few things lately gone wrong....mapsensor needed changing along with the crash sensor and a drop link but all was covered under the warranty! Had my MOT last week which made me get new windscreen wipers and a bulb which the garage sourced, all in all £100. I have also gotten rid of the TMC and now looking for a remap but will get one when there's a multi buy on or something and My left decal stripe is peeling aswell! :( So my to do list now is:

1.Fit new decals on both sides
2.Use my DA on it and let it look like it should...a King
3.New forge actuator (drops boost quickly higher in the range)
4.REMAP!

Heres a pic ;)

Ive got the Buff daddy DA out and ready to give the car a correction! My clay and Tardis and iron X arrived today aswell so im ready to go! I also just won a ebay auction on a forge induction kit for 99p on ebay! with shipping it came to £11 but have not received a email to confirm it has been shipped nor has he replied to my first message for tracking number when he delivers it. I have a slight feeling he might not send it but hopefully he will honer the deal :worship:
 
Right well since ive decided on keeping the Abarth im going to keep this rolling. I Recently sold my tmc box along with my GSR induction kit and never received the forge inudction kit I won on ebay! I also completed my apprenticeship at my workplace and got a job there :) So lets begin!...

I had a go with the DAS 6 Pro and was pleased with the results!

This week was concentrated on servicing the beasst, so I Replaced the front disks and pads, I then got the timing belt and pulleys changed and am going to service it this weekend.

I Also took a gamble with ordering a Ragazzon De-cat pipe from Gazzella Racing!:idea: After I placed the order I immediately rang him to check the pipe was in stock ready to order as ive heard horror stories of items not being in stock then not turning up! He assured me there was one in stock and would arrive end of the week or start of next! so fingers crossed and I hope he delivers because the guy i talked to on the end of the phone seemed quite genuine!
 
just a quick update on the de cat from gazzela. my "order" was updated on Thursday stating it is now complete and on its way to me. still nothing as of today which is 7 days and have sent 2 emails asking for a tracking number and estimated delivery time! fingers crossed though.
 
Re: My Punto Abarth!

just an update :p my de cat pipe arrived and I spent 4 hours last night battling with the bumper and old pipe and got nowhere. got up at 6 am this morning and managed to fit it! Nice noise quite raspy but still deep. chuffed :)

Re: My Punto Abarth!

Everything has bedded in with the de-cat, nice pop and flame on overrun but when i change from 3 to 4 with a quick blip of the throttle beforre clutching it ...my god it sounds like a shotgun going off and spurts out a wicked flame!
