Punto (Mk2/2b) Munkul's thread

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Re: The Official Munkul's Punto Mk2 thread

It sounds nearly exactly the same, but with actual noticeable, better performance nearer 5k. You wouldnt know it had a performance back-box on, aside the tip. Very subtle and imo the best looking of the supersprint range for the mk2

Re: The Official Munkul's Punto Mk2 thread

got the coilovers today, :woot:

jordan, a mate, and i, fitted them tonight.

and boy, even on half settings its low :devil: needs lower at the back, though

erm... it needs so badly adjusted for camber, its undrivable, good job i took tomorrow off (hehe, today now) gonna leave it to the pro's....

Looks very nice. Bet it handles a lot better now...

I can see a gap in the arches, lower it some more.

 

[Munkul]

OK, i got sick of being messed about by Gates, who were very unhelpful.

so last night, i spent around 4 hours setting the suspension myself, with manual tracking devices and digital protractors (a job that would have taken them around 30min with their laser systems)
.40 toe in, -0.8 camber (a compromise between factory and Richie's preferences, thankyou)

and it is far better than it ever was before.

Lesson learnt: NEVER GO BACK TO GATES CARLISLE EVER

oh, and i lowered it a little bit more

the front is very low now

 

[Trist]

i want to get mine looow, but then again i want to get a carzone front bumper, and alsooo, i don't wanna get molested by speed bumps :bang: there are ones at college you feel sharply even going over them at 1mph,
was considering a 35mm drop and dealing with the arch gap, or getting an abarth front and going lower,

the decision is getting on my knackers...

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

looks good, needs bigger alloys now to fill the arches a little more, still looks fairly well proportioned in real life

[Munkul]

slight change to car, shame the pics arent more detailed, cos it looks far better than before
