Hi Guys and Girls,


Im Andrew aka ABYSS and im currently looking to buy a 1.9 JTD Grande Punto Sporting :)

I own a Astra forum www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk which also includes the Triple 8 Owners Club and www.astra-vxr.com

My current car owes a lot to its success to Fiat as it uses the 1.9 Twin Overhead cam 16V Fiat/GM 1.9 CDTI.

She started out life as a basic Astra 1.9CDTI SRI 150PS

220bhp and 355lbft of torque.

which included a trip to The Ring :)

And a 156mph blast down the Autobahn in Germany :worship:

Weve been working on this for nearly 10 months, and shes now running a new hybrid turbo (looks 100% OE) FMIC and a full Magnex exhaust :)

I love forum life, and as well as the astra site i also own www.dieseltuninguk.com with our partners DAP Performance we plan on making a very special Fiat Punto Sporting which could eventually run the same set up as The Hearse.

So im hoping you guys and girls can keep me right, and let me know any potential problems we may face with the punto

Many thanks

Andrew
 
hey as jamie sed!
nice car
im not a fan of vauxhalls apart from the 2.0L Red Top in a Nova/Corsa but this....this is sweet!
i love the black with black/charcoal alloys :)
and 220bhp is good for a family sized car :D
 
Well as much as I dislike the astra I would say keep it cos the grande is crap compared to it ..

Welcome to the forum (y)

Welcome to the forum (y)

The Hearse is staying put, were in thinking about buying a Grande and eventually turning it into a 220/230bhp Nurburgring toy :)
 
While the engine is a good one it the rest of the car thats the let down (n)
