Probably best to look through the members motors section at other mk1s and see what things you like.

Dear Morgan1,

I‘ m a new user of mk1 punto 55s like you, namely I bought a used punto. I would highly appreciate if you send to me general manual of punto.
Best wishes.

Look on ebay or go to Fiat.

Ok, I own a 55 s, and have looked into what to do. Bear in mind that you will never have a 200 BHP firebreathing monster. That's what Punto GTs are for.

For the 55s, you can do the following modifications...

GSR skimmed, pressure tested and ported head (~£350)
GSR reprofiled cam (~£90)
Supersprint manifold, intermediate pipe and backbox (~£600)
GSR stage 2 remap (£300, includes £109 GSR induction kit)

That should squeeze maybe another 20 hp out of it, so you will have 75 bhp. The 55s is the lightest, 'no-frills' of the bunch, so the real money should be spent on handling and braking mods for the tight-twisties.
