Grande Punto My Mean Tangerine

[JAM113]

nice update mate. I did exactly the same as you with the wheel nuts lol. and good job on the laqure peel

Thanks, and it's freshened the car up nicely I think, I do love your wheels though, and hopefully more to come with the updates, hoping to get the car lower once it's out of warranty

Hi Folks

Not updated in a while been so busy doing odd jobs for people, not really much to update on apart from fitting my Pipercross induction kit which i got for free so thought id just add some pictures for you's to look at
Went a camping trip with a few mates in July

Still needs lowered

Detailing Session, my mate with the fez helped

Nice and shiney

Some Randoms

With a pals old 306 D-Turbo

My Induction Kit (Sound is Awesome:devil

All shined up ready for a cruise

Oh and I decided to make my buttons slightly fluffy with some suede

Nighttime PhotoStop (might add those are only my sidelights that are on and they are not anywhere near that blue in person)

Cheers

looking good mate.

Do you like the induction sound? i think it gets annoying after a while its so loud although mine was an open cone filter that looks like its enclosed slightly.

Cheers bud

Yeh I love the sound I know what you mean about it getting annoying, I find if I change gear before 1600rpm there isn't that much noise so thats what I do when I cant be bothered with the noise, An yes your right it's so loud it's unreal, took it to a cruise the other week and had so many people staring at it when the turbo was fluttering, and its a piper cross venom kit, so yes it's enclosed but I think that makes for a better sound, will try and get a video uploaded so you can hear

Cheers

For anyone thats interested here's a link to the video I took of the induction kit


Cheers

That sounds like something out of a sci-fi film! I must admit after hearing the turbo on Jordans car spool for myself last time i saw him i was gobsmacked. Anything to enhance that is a win win win in my book. Liking it.

I must admit I really really like the noise it makes, that video does not do it justice, and it is so much better when the car is under load

might try and get another video on the move this time though

Cheers

Re: The Mean Tangerine

Gotta love the chatter lol

 

[Reuuk]

Re: The Mean Tangerine

That sounds similar to what mine did before I removed it. the chatter is good which I still get with just a panel filter but the suction noise on acceleration just sounds like a bag of nails!

 

[steve119]

Nice motor, but a mean tangerine thread name is a bit misleading

 

[JAM113]

It got the nick name "the mean tangerine" from one of my pals when I first got the car, and I couldn't think of anything to name the thread when I started it, so that's the reason behind the thread name

Haha mate, just funning lol, I used to call my orange GP sporting the tangerine too lol

Sorry my sense of humour is shocking

I do agree with you when talking about the acceleration, and I did have a panel filter, but my friend gave me the induction kit for free but when your pottering around town at night, the amount of "wtf" looks you get is awesome, cause people know it's a Punto they assume it's slow

Finally got my carbon wrap through so got my steering wheel controls done last night and my door pillars done today, will have pictures of the door pillars tomorrow probably, let me know what you guys think.
Cheers

How do you take the steering wheel controls off mate?

Re: The Mean Tangerine

JAM113 fair point haha

 

[JAM113]

How do you take the steering wheel controls off mate?

I used the end of a spoon in between the main part of the steering wheel and the top control, you should be able to prise the control away from the wheel, however you cannot unplug the control, so don't pull too much you don't want the wires to snap

Also I unplugged the horn before doing it

Cheers
