Grande Punto My punto grande so far.....

Introduction

Hi all, I have had my punto for nearly a year now and it was completely standard from the start... It's not been without its problems, I had a seized rear caliper which I had to send away to be refurbished, I've had a vacuum pipe on the turbo split due to deterioration and lastly but certainly now least I had total engine failure at 76k :'( however after 16 New valves, some head work, New set off gaskets, timing belt, coil pack, plugs and filters and oil... It's up and running better than ever :) so far I've repainted the rear calipers yellow and fitted new discs and pads, tinted the three rear windows and disconnected the excess turbo air recycling crap that takes the left over turbo pressure and feeds it back into the intake and placed a breather filter on the electronic actuator just to give that whoosh sound :)

Hopefully weather permitting I will fit my custom induction this afternoon and then should here the turbo a bit more...

Looking to exchange turbo for vl36 along with a remap, but will be going cat back ss exhaust first as I here there are some good gains to be had doin this first :)

Will be dropping it to the floor once exhaust in place, just springs as coil overs are just to much for day to day use me thinks and then prob some abarth headlights...

Well that's all I can think off for now lol there is probably so much more to do but that's enough for now.... I'll add some pics and keep updating as it go's along.... Any advice or recommendations gratefully received :D
However on to some better news I will getting the exhaust sorted in two weeks once I've booked a day off work :) just have to get it remapped after and it should be getting there :D then it needs to go low prob just some springs as I had coilovers on my type r but it was to hard off a ride, to many crap roads and pot wholes thanks Essex highways :mad:
 
Well it's been some time since I last posted but thing are moving along :) induction kit has arrived just need time to fit it, same as my mtec headlights :D no more candles in the dark for me lol.... Have had to replace drivers side read wheel bearing :( two track rod ends and two drop links :( major tracking and mot which didn't have a single advisory surprisingly :confused: however all good to roll again and now I can get the exhaust sorted next month then a tune up :D I can't wait:D
 
Well its been ages since I posted sorry had no phone... however things have come along. Induction kit fitted sounds lovely,new headlights are in and i fitted some dlr's that look nice... new drilled and groved discs along with some ebc green stuff pads to fit in the morning :) oh and a boost gauge and a breather filter if I can find one. Got rid off thos under body leds except side ones which work with indicators and look ok.... will post loads off pics tomorrow
 
Coming along really nicely, other than the LEDs I really like this :)
