I sold the fuel cell and pump from my racing Panda and bought these...

...just in case.

The most expensive and pointless additions to the car this month. £206 insurance and a hundred and something Tax (Monday). Grrrrr! :bang:

Still I get to drive her soon.

So thanks to someone in China putting an extra 0 in a paypal transaction £400 went out of my account instead of £40 hmmm.

:bang:


My Punto will sit untaxed for at least two more weeks while I wait for a refund.

Does anyone here have a 16V Punto 85 Sporting and are free on the Mayday weekend?

I'll be partaking in the UK Powertour and would like to settle all the 16V vs 8V threads and debates.

I have in th epast found if you sit going through paypals automated phone system until you get hold of someone they are actually super helpful and sort stuff out really quickly

Just takes a few mins to get through all the options and get a person on the phone.

All taken care of. Straight forward mistake rather than a malicious hack.

So the important thing from yesterday...

Without reading the link at all, Santa Pod, Shakespeare County and York Dragways are all the dragways in the UK aren't they...

 

[Liquid Knight]

What do we think of these on the car?

 

[blu73]

i think they would suit a squarer car better, nice wheels not the less....

If you want non-original wheels on a mk1 i feel you can't beat a set of coupe20vt alloys myself but wheels are such a personal thing - you like them then you go for it fella, its you that has to be happy with the ultimately.

 

[Liquid Knight]

20VT Brembo spec' 16's are too big, poor tyre choice and look like Mondeo ones.

16V 15's are too heavy and look gash.

I think the black GT wheels look okay and would suit the Alfa leather bum holders I've just bought.

The polished 14's look nice and will go on with fresh paint.

I may come last but I'll be the last in the first ever UK Power Tour. :worship:

History yet to happen.

 

[blu73]

well earlier it seemed it was just you vs an uber ugly american jalopy. Sure there will be something slower than a mk1 sporting (heres to hoping anyway)

A 1242 Sporting would be nice.

I have the engine in my cinq, don't have a punto at all anymore

You'd have a weight advantage to make up for the lack of torque.

 

[blu73]

tell me about it, completely asthmatic upto 4k these 16v engines - i think preferred it when it was a 1242 8v really.
