Re: My Punto Abarth!

Plans for it at the moment is nicer alloys..18" pro race 1.2's in white. And Im doing a group remap in january so hopefully with my mods..... its looking at around 190-195 hopefully. Im going to ask the remapper to put in a launch control through the map aswell

Got my titanium heat wrap today ready for my downpipe! Gets a bit hot in the bay and will keep the heat in the exhaust...good investment from what I heard and read

Re: My Punto Abarth!

im still debating it! I have 3 mods to finish it up...Intercooler, remap and that short shifter! im not sure which one to get next !

Thats not what ive heard! Thought id have a look at your car mate. Looks ace, and the 2 new additions will fit in perfectly, and sharpen it up a bit....

Ha true. I got my exhaust redone last week from the decat back, full 2.75 " no silencer and no back box. Tig welded..the lot. Also got a brand new GSR induction and a tmc tuning box. So with the new actuator and strut braces it should be beast!

Few more pics for the "log"

Got some new alloys 17" Pro race 1.2's with 14mm Sparco Spacers all around. The spacers were added because the offset was wrong and the alloys wouldnt go on because of the Brembos.

Got my new plate aswell

And just for the people wondering about the GSR....Awsome, enough said!
I also bought some new red abarth stripes to put back on, kinda miss them! Red wing mirrors might be an option aswell

Cleaned the car tonight ready for the Remap at P-torque friday!

Alloys and brembos have never looked so clean!

 

[McAteer]

V power-Full Tank

Good day at p-torque! Will is an awsome guy. Helpful with and questions and knows his stuff.

With just my mods the car pulled 174bhp which is a 19bhp increase from standard. So that was a good start. After tweaking and some adjustments he ran the new map which pulled a whopping 214.9bhp!! It now pulls like a train. Very happy.

Just another update, New wheel bearing arrived today for my FRH side as it was a bit noisy, also just ordered a new Intercooler from SCARA73. Should get another 5-10bhp from that.

Had a really bad week with the car! All the screws holding the bumper etc were either non existant or in poor condition! I replaced ALL the clips, bolts and screws with stainless steel ones. I then replaced my filter on gsr as that was looking rough!! But for the good part.....

Hi mate! That's an incredible figure on the standard turbo. What has the reliability been like? Do you know how much boost your running etc? I'm having mine done on Friday, just want to know what I can ask the guy to ramp it up to

Same mods as you pretty much.

Cheers mate
