first of all hi and congrats for ure site guys its very helpfull but id like to ask all those who've got a punto mk2 sportings 1.2 16V do you have a flat spot accelerating in 1st, i have my 1st sprint coming and i was wonderin if i could solve this problem because i waste too much time to accelerate. I even get it at low revs in second

thanks for your help guys

I get a bit of a flat in low revs in second. But first it should pull like a beast and tear your face round your neck. Has it been services regulary etc? You could run the tank low and get some NOS Petrol booster and boosts the fuel from RON 95-97(If you use Shell optimax) to about 115 then add about 15-20 litres of unleaded. I used it on mine and it eased out the flats... must of blasted all the ****e build up you get over time.

mine goes sweetly 6 gear sporting has lowerrange 1st for increased pull away havent noticed a flat spot in it. sometimes maybe if i have changed to 2nd early.

the angeltuning remap for £150 sorts it all out its popular on here allthjough i havent got it.

ive got the remap 7 gears no flat spots www.angeltuning.co.uk

but in malta none does re maps, chris whats this nos booster its just a fuel additive of shell? damn it its buggin me its quite bad it doesnt pull much in 1st, i've only changed the oil since i bought it its second hand buit still i love it too bits.

it should pull well in first does it need a service??? new airfilter plugs leads etc etc

well thanks for your help guys but it turned out to be the ht wires and they ended up shorting for me and my engine ended up mis timing itself its ready though now next week im gonna put it in for valve seals it seems to be consuming the oil anyways she back to normal for now and ready for the hillclimb

Its just a fuel additive that you put in your tank before you put petrol in and it boosts the fuel to make it more explosive. Totally safe for road use (In the UK anyway). You can usually get it at Car shops like Halfords etc.

Hey Zach, glad to see somebody from the same country. Kif ahna siehbi?

Think you know about carsmalta.com, very helpful

Anyway, if you want to try out the NOS booster I saw it at Falcar's

i bought the nos booster neo it worked well in the hillclimb insomma i was a bit out of class, issa i want to get the 40mm throttle bodies they sound good i need more low end torque hehe

viva malta!!!
