Introduction
Still loads to do yet but what you think
Punto (Mk1) My maramite car - love it or hate it - work in progress
- Thread starter goffouk
- Start date
nah it is a 1.2 for now just found it funny that ppl jumped to conclusion without knowing what was in it, And the amount of money iv spend so far i dont want to sell the car for a big loss when i want sum more power in it so il drop a bigger lump in.

8v or 16v?
And then sell the car for a even bigger loss :nutter:
but his had fun doing it, some spend money on drink n drugs, some on car.
For all that money couldn't you have got something fast and nicer looking? Own personal tastes i guess?
Well, you mentioned nothing about any engine changes in your original postings so it seemed very apparent that engine swaps were low on your list of priorities compared with 'looks'.
Plus most cars 'modded' like that are indeed running around with their original engines. Seems that in general, the smaller the engine the bigger the body mods. A bit like the theory that bigger the car the smaller the owners d..k :devil:
As the Punto in question is a five door mk1 it could be one of four engines. An ELX would mean an 85bhp 1242 16v under the bonnet. An ELX/ SX 75 would be the 75 bhp MPi 1242 8v. A 60 would be the 60bhp 1242 and a 55 the 55bhp 1108.
So are you going to somehow give it 200bhp to match the looks and if so how? What engine are you hoping to put in it and will you do it yourself? It will be interesting to know what your realistic plans are for it

Well the seats have Punto written on them, you can see the T of it on the passenger seat in the shot of the install, that makes it a team so the 58bhp 1.2 8v if its standard.
you know the answer to that! at least he can call what he's done his own, he can be proud of what he's acheived. i he'd bought a better car then he woudnt have been able to spend so much personalising it
also what happens if he's not planning on selling it? im not selling mine cause ive modded it and it would be at a big loss so im keepig it till it dies
I know its a WIP, but its still gash. Just dont make your way over to PSC, theres no way we would be this friendly over there!!
I wouldnt be seen dead in this car. I also wouldnt drive it if I was you, with unpainted bumpers. It looks awful.
People arent taking photos of the car because they are impressed with it, trust me.
And to conclude, £2k on those doors? The doors themselves are ok, but £2k? Are you mad? You could have a lovely car for £2k.
O yeah, a positive comment - without the bumpers, neons, spoiler and rear lights it would be fine.
Please dont delete this as it is an opinion, and hopefully, might draw some sense from the kid!

Now now.
No need for it here is there?
I dont come over here slating other forums, and as a "gold standard moderator", neither should you.
If you come to your senses, you would delete your posts and let the topic continue.
Its totally irrelevant and uneccessary in this situation.
If you have a problem, use the PM system.

well tom seens as thought i am not a modderator of any sorts i will say it: -
most of the people on Puntosports are arragant loser's who's best part of them dripped down there dad's leg & have nothing better to do than sit talking crap because they all like to have there cars the same like a bunch of lemmings, they dont like different so they slate it without contestation and are all about 45 dont know what a women looks like so they spend all there time on there computer masturbating.
And in your words thats a opinion so please dont delete it.
and i am not sure if i put something wrong in the post about the engine but i do not have any intention of selling due to the amount of money i have put into it, So if anyone can suggest whats the biggest engine i can put in with the least amout of hassle please let me know.

with a little hassle but not much, you can fit a 1.4 16v out of a stilo
if poss i would want somthing big like 1.8 with turbo if poss
nar you dont, if you got the money then you can fit 1.4 turbo from new bravo
If all you want is big BHP figures, use a 16vt or even 20vt from a coupe.
And I do hope that all these mods and your future ones will be declard on your insurance

people have done the coop engine swaps before, they crap in small car make front to heavy, cornering is then crap, and they snake when doing 0-60 strip.
be better off with a rear enging project if going bigger than 1.4
