This looks amazing, I'd love to get one, oneday!

I had an Ibiza Cupra before the EVO and that was knocking out 182bhp. I need that power again.

But yeh love the car mate, whats FIATS quoted figures?

What you hoping to get after forge have worked there magic?

Thanks mate. The quoted bhp is 163. Haven't got the figures back from Forge. I'd be happy with 180

Are you from Crewe? Currently driving a Grey/Silver Evo with Black Alloys?

No mate. I'm from Norwich.

its a very very very very very beautiful car!!!!!!:worship::worship::worship::worship:

Thanks You have good taste

Right guys and gals. The car is back from Forge and I've done around 250 miles since I got it back. All I can say is wow! This thing is loud.

You can hear the dump valve from streets away and the induction noise is nothing short of superb. I'm not sure I like the attention it gets from pedestrians but at the moment it is novelty.

The car feels smoother and seems to pull a little harder but theres no drastic improvement in performance.

Overall I'm very happy... Just trying to decide if I should keep the dump valve on. I'll try to get videos at the weekend.

Love you car, looks amazing

Forgive me mate, but why is it that forge were unable to make 'drastic imrpovements' or is that not what you wanted? Just curious that's all.

Absolutely love this car though.

A guy living near me has a grey Abarth evo (like this) and a white Abarth GP :O

Needs ECU mapping to make use of mods like that. Did you get the intercooler too?

Sweet looking motor!

The car was already quick so the intake and intercooler alone were not going give a night and day transformation. It does feel a bit quicker and it does feel like there is more torque. I have admit the stock exhaust is a limiting factor though.

It is worth getting the intake for the induction noise alone. It transforms the cars character!

I did. I'll post pics later. New one looks twice the size of the old one.

Sweet looking motor!

Thanks

Also the car is in for its service today so I have got this cracking little TwinAir for the day. I'm quite impressed!

 

[AgnessGP]

cheers for the answer, I know what you mean now.

That car looks very much like mine and im guessing that's standard lol! it seems manufacturers are getting ideas from custom cars!

I do like The 2012 Punto (have they got an official name yet?)
But the only thing that lets it down for me is the 6 lights on the front!
Hows the TA engine in a Punto? Torquey enough?

I think it is now simply the Punto

The TwinAir was great, sounds very odd but that gives it character. Plenty of torque for daily driving. I'd love one as a daily driver.

I don't think anyone has a clue. Last I heard it was a GBT 2012 punto .

I think Fiat are just trying to confuse the hell out of anyone trying to fathom it out. I'm more confused than when I watched the third Matrix movie.

Simple its gone back to 'Punto' so i assume we can call this the Mk3???

Shame its not in the limited edition green that you can get on the twinnie. How are you finding the economy?

Alot of websites and people refer to the MK2b as the MK3. And its pretty much a Grande with different bumpers Grande Punto Mk2?

That would be the Evo.

I reckon it should be like this:

Original Punto = MK1
Second Punto = MK2
Facelifted 2nd Punto = MK2b
Grande Punto = MK3
Punto Evo = MK3b
2012 Punto = MK3c

I know it's not but it makes sense in my head.

A small but also long overdue update for the car.... A set of proper Abarth mats:

I just looked odd without them. Now the car feels whole! :slayer:
