Punto (Mk2/2b) Munkul's thread

[Munkul]

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

its a perfect place for the air filter, apart from the risk of low-level floods. Ive escaped pretty well this winter with it on all the time, mainly because i refuse point-blank to go down the riskier backroads when its been raining.

what do you mean about the wheel offsets?

Cold air wise its the best place for it, the same place as the AEM filter is on my CTR. Not good for bad weather though, in heavy rain VTEC won't engage.

Probably one of my favourite mk2s this one.

its strange, i lost bits of pride and car bumper, but i found that love for all things punto mk2 again was wanting something faster again, but might stick with this for longer again!

looks like you could do with a new filter on the end of the GSR.

so whats the plan for the bumper?

you should totally go widemouth, i think it could look sweet

 

[Munkul]

the filter just needs a clean. Its the second filter ive had for it anyways, only done a few thousand miles.

im having a new abarth bumper, and sorry mike no i dont fancy doing you a smoothed one in exchange for yours

I MIGHT have it sorted in time for donny, fingers crossed

where abouts did you get the piping for it or is a gsr or a custom jobbie?

GSR induction kit mate. If you have a 16v i cant reccomend them enough, its a far superior product to ANYTHING else on the market.

where have you managed to source this new bumper from?

an online parts shop... BUT.... the people are on holiday so i cant ask them if its actually in stock or not

 

[Tris Harris]

i still think you should try a widemouth one... i did a very quick photoshop:

 

[Munkul]

cheers tris, looks cool. Very fiesta ST-like

If it werent for the fact that the bumper is shagged in a whole lot of places, i probably would have had a bash at that..

 

[Tris Harris]

the grill might have been swiped from a ST

EDIT: if i get another mk2, im doing that lol

 

[klemster]

I prefer the standard bumper to the wide mouth idea. But it could look cool! Sorry to see the car damaged, always a bit of a downer when it happens!!

Anyone find out if oldschool figured out how to route the induction kit in the Bravo 16v? He said there were spacing issues but for some reason or another decided not to get back to me after I had tried getting in contact a few times!!

 

[Munkul]

new bumper gotten, spraying the week after next.

mk2b lights finally bought!

 

[blu73]

good stuff althought i still prefer mk2 lights myself

 

[Tris Harris]

good call, mk2b lights will finish the back off nicely

 

[Munkul]

car is all fixed again! just some bits and bobs now, such as new gas strut inserts for the coiles needed now

Well done, seems when you get one thing sorted, something else goes wrong!
Any pics?
