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)
Also just ordered pieces to make a blow off filter, tried a plug that i made on the lathe at work today to block the recirculation and just left the dump valve without a filter on top and sounded good! Should arrive tomorrow the BMC and BOF things so will keep you updated
 
Well fitted the bmc and put the pipercross filter ontop of the dump valve.
I swear the car rumbles/gargles more when revving sounds mint!

Well spent a good few hours saturday cleaning the car.....its looks dirty as sh*t today and have only done 100 miles dear lord haha. Just bought some Natty's paste wax so ill give that a go on the weekend! Unsure what to do next to be honest, with the car still having 2 years warranty left im not sure want will invalidate it. I am either thinking 2nd hand TMC box, Esseesse exhaust? Ideas are welcome!
 
Oh no! stopped by at mums today, few hours later got into the car and battery was flat! Got my metre out and tested it turns out the alternator isnt charging it! so guess i need a new alternator! Lucky ive got extended warranty for 2 years.
 
I think it's time to update this... so, Uhhh nothing happened really up until a week ago where I bought a tmc tuning box. a great buy and what a difference in torque throughout the range! I then bought a GSR induction kit which sounds immense! last but not least I got a custom stainless 2.5" downpipe back system for £300. this has made the car sound like it should.

Your 19, and driving an Abarth GP. I hate you, in the nicest most envious way possible haha.

Very lucky indeed, and to have insurance that low. I've been driving 4 years with 4 year NCB and its still over £1200 for me on one of these. So so envious, i can dream for a year or two yet :)
