Punto (Mk2/2b) Munkul's thread

[Munkul]

i love those 6x9s, they are better than most i think, and produce a decent amount of bass. I wouldnt want a sub, i like the boot nice and empty lol. Had a decent sub setup in my previous car and tbh id rather sacrifice quality for weightsaving.
Really its a decent sound system for the types of music i listen to, but it lacks a bit of midrange which i think would be sorted with an amp.
Yeah, that headunit can stream from mobiles over bluetooth, works a treat

having reccomended a sub i sold mine on to save weight.. ive been recomended some 6x9s in a stealth shelf..
im into rock and dance really, so probs would be fine for me aswell..

never amped up a pair of 6x9s as i had to run them in my mark 1

hello:wave:

 

[blu73]

Oh no!
Is it ok bar the obvious bumper

 

[CinquePunto]

wtf did you done?

 

[Munkul]

see grumpy thread for how it happened.

damage - the sideskirt is well broked, really wants a new un but should mend if needed. Got the bumper off properly and the struts that hold it in place- one side is bent and buckled right in. So its done its job and left the rest of the car intact.

you should see what i propose to do when i go back out :devil:

Tbh it looked worse in the photos than it did last night. Hopefully he's taken some pics of the ingenious way of pulling it straight

Awwww mate, thats poo. At least it's not worse tho.

It going to be ok for the PR? Will have my cameraaaaa you see

 

[Munkul]

Danny - as i said before, i wouldnt risk taking it to the PR, the damage you see above would be replicated ten-fold on those terrible tracks If we are going i will either be in a stilo, a corsa or a 406

Anyways, here's last night's fun:

bumper off

rad bracket off

Broke

Cleaned and fixed with some hammering

This came off the underside (3x as much we left in the carpark tho!

Chopped the middle out of the bumper with angle grinder

Back on wheels ready for pulling

no, we didnt pull it WITH the tractor, just used it as a stationary object for a ratchet strap

Meanwhile, fibreglassed up the big crack in the side

Finally pulled straight with ratchet strap and hammer, measured it all up and its as square as the day

Put bumper back on

 

[blu73]

nice lol, i did a similar thing on my old cinq, but i only used a beetle to tie it to, not a massoof tractor lol. Good to see its back rolling even if the bumper does look a bit funny

Not the oddest method I've seen of straightening a punto front end (must have been the first time a lampost actually straightened a car out) but good to see it riding again sure you'll have it look it minty again soon. Now I think about it your front end don't have much luck does it? First an animal now a verge! 3rd time lucky eh?

wtf is the filter doing down there in that environment?!


Glad its coming back together though


OT: Are your wheel offsets ok? just wondering as you say you never used to have the problem on those roads

Isn't that where the GSR induction puts it? Hence why some people believe GSRs should not be used if theres standing water of any depth about.

 

[randomizered]

Fair enough. Bit low for my liking, especially as it looks like it lives on a farm.

 

[Tris Harris]

glad you've managed to sort it somewhat though...
