Punto (Mk1) My punto gt3

yep, can confirm the stock item is plastic innards and casing - i used a saab one on my old GT which basically looked the same but the internals were metal.

This one can be used on the Saab , I'm hoping it will run better, think you mentioned about it to me ages ago about the turbo spooling up quicker and it will be quieter than the other one . I'm back on the road next month so I will get it on and see how goes [emoji1303]

Yeah on/off the throttle spooling like gear changes are way way better.

I've had the gt out for the first time this year as the weather was good [emoji1303], had a decent drive round , changed the oil & filters , ready for the shows to start now [emoji3]

fitted the new standard recirc valve and it seems to work well , boosting up ok , smoother acceleration and a lot quieter [emoji1303]

I've had the car out this weekend and had mi polishing cloths to it ready for the santa pod show next weekend, I hope we have weather like it's been today [emoji41]

Had a great day at the fast show , santa pod today , parked amongst 13 other gt's a sight I haven't seen before and meeting a good group of guys passionate about their fiats .

Wow nice one! really beautiful

I've booked the car in Wednesday to have all the new suspension fitted , nos springs , rubbers bump stops apart from the shocks . Hoping it's not going to look like a monster truck [emoji12]but the ride is going to be so much better [emoji1303]. It's going to be totally standard then except the stainless exhaust.

had the suspension fitted, it's sitting about 40 mm higher . the ride good too .

had to change the petrol tank on the gt today , found a slight hole in the filler neck where I'd had it repaired before , think it was the hot weather that pressurised the tank a bit more . I had a second hand plastic one from a 60 s so thought it was time to change it as it's a common problem on the metal gt ones . Had a bit of fun fitting it as two of the original mounting points had to be ground off which i didn't realise , but it's on and hopefully it will now last for years [emoji1303], I'm glad it didn't happen nearer the forza show [emoji33]

Well done sorting fuel tank out.
I think it looks much much better on new suspension.

thanks , i was a bit weary about removing the mounts to fit the plastic tank but the metal ones are always prone to rusting so was never going to fit another one ( that if you could ever get hold of a decent one ) It drives spot on now and i can clear speed humps and don't have to dodge every slight bump in the road [emoji23] .

fitted some of the under bonnet stickers I was missing today .

had a great day at forza show today [emoji1303]

Attended the classic car show at ashover near chesterfield today , good selection of cars and parked next to a nice x/19 an there was another 2 on the next row .
