what a bargain!
its gorgeous!

i could of had that instead of my mini 1.3i!!
but couldnt afford insurance or upkeep.

its pointless waxoiling the underneath of a mk2 uno, they are galvanised and wont rust anyway!

I have this lovely Mk2 1.4i.e shell on my drive, prehaps you would like to look underneath

I guess you never saw the original shell that DuncUnoTurbo had with his mk2 UT. Or Faster4Tec's mk2 UT either. Or the myriad of mk2 Unos of all guises that are rusting to bits in scrapyards. The underside does rot - believe me

Oh yeah the undersides go, my UT Mk2 had plenty of welding on the floor pan....significantly more than my Strada Abarth. Galvanising doesn't guarantee no rust, Waxoyl et al is still well worthwhile for long term health.

uno? scrapyard? lol never seen one in there...proves they do rust i 'spose. even though my mk2 5dr was MINT

saw this at usc, awesome car
ok, more power,
you need an uprated fuel pressure regulator, cam/pulley, headgasket, air filter with cold air feed(that pipe across the radiator gets hot)
then if you want to go further,
fifth injector
pistons/rods
ecu
bigger turbo t25/t28
headwork, ported/larger valves

Thanks for the advice, i turned down the boost today it's now just peeking above a Bar and holding just under, that should be ok, shouldn't it? Its alot more controlable now only spins in 2nd gear now a little bit as appose to before of wheels spinning in 3rd!!! Which yeah sounds really good but when your getting used to the car its a bit too much.

 

[waynegts]

shouldnt spin in third if its only got that bhp should it?

 

[antsuno2]

sstandard wheels, skinny tyres?

 

[sr480t]

Yeah standard wheels, and crap goodyear tyres, will change after pay day but if its raining saturday i'll change them then.

A stupid 17 year old kid in his mums car pulled out in front of me, and turns out he may have been playing a game, called 'Dare'. Where they know a car is coming up and down the main road, so they come out of the side road and do a u-turn near you and make you swerve or brake hard, so the police told me. Either way he left it too late and iam lucky to be alive!! Shamir

 

[waynegts]

fookin hell mate thats crap, feel so sorry for you, that was a dam fine uno.
now for the vulture bit, let me know if you sell that header tank

 

[sr480t]

The car got taken away the next morning so only managed to get the ECU, air flow meter off and a few Samco hoses and the Bailey dump valve.
