Grande Punto col7104's Grande T-Jet

[punto_matt]

Whats the name of the contis? I was thinking about getting some on mine after my T1R's.

They're SportContact 2's. Never tried Toyo's so afraid I can't say better or worse

 

[Greggers]

Looking good! I'm glad the wheels are on okay and that you're happy with how they look You looked a bit worried there for a while on Saturday I was half expecting you to sell them!

Did you put the 3mm spacers on all round and drop it a bit more? You've got to be pushing the legal limits with those wheels and the front arches now... :slayer:

The Conti's are good aren't they! I had Eagle F1 Assymetrics before the Conti's and they're pretty close in performance... although I think the Conti's are wearing better!

 

[col7104]

Hehe yeah - like them now it's a bit lower! I lowered the front a touch and I haven't put the spacers on. Will try them though as on hard cornering (say a roundabout) I get a metallic 'shingling' sort of noise. Almost like something contacting the brake disc...but have a horrible feeling it could be rim/shock!!

 

[Greggers]

It could just be the tyre rubbing the strut arm? I can't believe that the rim would be rubbing, there was loadsa room! There must have been... like... a whole 7mm

Get the spacers on there and see how you get on, I reckon it'll be fine once there on... 3mm is miles!

 

[col7104]

Well, spacers are on! Still get a noise, but think it's lock related and not load related. Have to look into it further. In the mean time...



All hail the mighty Brembo :worship:

 

[punto_matt]

Hehe cheers for all the comments. Yes I do worry Peter - won't stop till I find the cause of that bloomin' noise!! Poor car's too young to have strange noises

Haven't cleaned it but got some proper pics anyway












As Grande Bolt blew my mod cover , in the next couple of weeks the GSR intercooler is next on the agenda, with a few other bits and bobs...
