[beau]

i got brand new pasenger door, why all the pics of the best side? when you taking the gearbox off?

well cars against the bush so couldnt get pics if i wanted to!

i dont know lol, it sounds well rough at the moment, sounds like bag of bolts

il get it sorted soon though

I was thinking about it but decided not to a few weeks later my 60 was found lacking in many areas... doesn't it have rivets in the front bumper . Anyway good luck and hope it all goes well for ya

[CinquePunto]

is that a GT1 interior?

bargain for 200 notes mate - looks nice but for the dent.

 

[Chas Uno]

I thought the 75 was 16v? if not why was their never a Mk2 8v tuned to 75bhp?

you mean 85 16v sx but think the sporting was 86 lol

Yup, Charlieboy is right. The 1242 Punto engines work out as follows:

Punto 60 - 65bhp, 8 valve and SPI
Punto 75 - 75bhp, 8 valve and MPI
Punto 85 (and sporting) - 85bhp, 16 valve and MPI

And Beau, congratulations! Car looks nice, and for 200 quid that's quite a bargain. I got my 75SX (on a P plate like yours), without Abarth bits and needing work/ parts replaced and an MOT for 175 quid. Going to cost me at least another 100 quid to get it back on the road...

How many miles has yours done by the way?

 

[spuda101]

very nice beau wen you get your new wheels let me know how much you wnt for the old 1s

 

[Goldie Punto]

cant fault it for a first car esp with full abarth kit, should be able to push them dents out and make it abit better for now, cinquepunto there 1.6 sporting seats.

what bits do you need ?

 

[beau]

make an offer on the wheels now, 2 very good tyres, 2 new, 14 inch.

73k miles

i need sporting/gt alloys really now.

 

[custard]

no selling on the threads

Punto 75 - 75bhp, 8 valve and MPI

So why was the Mk2 Punto only 60bhp?

 

[beau]

So why was the Mk2 Punto only 60bhp?

because it was spi lol not mpi

 

[H2DaE]

Just seems strange why they didn't use mpi? Was it emissions?

 

[StoneNewt]

I thought they used a 70bhp MPI in the mk2...

[StoneNewt]

fair enough it was MPI, wonder why I thought 70bhp though?!

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Its ridiculous really, must have been bexasue of emissions. the stilo's have two cats, do the mk2's cant remember seeing one on my dads but maybe they did as that would lower emssions and bhp. The newest 1.2 in the gp is a 65bhp MPI. Fiat make decent engines, just not very high performance ones. It seems there older cars pushed a bit better HP out of theri engines. The mk2 8V MPI has a plastic inlet as the Mk1 8v MPI has a aluminium one, wonder if thats because the whole fueling is differnet too?
