General New Car

[bredsticz]

Hey all, just got a new car tonight. Cost alot more than my others mind you. Maybe a bit over-priced but i fell in love!

Only problems so far are:
Gear knob top comes off (but I have an idea for that!)
Front passenger shock seems to need replacing. She's pulling left quite alot yet every now and then she'll drive straight as an arrow.
Slight hollow drone on acceleration which I have no idea what that could be.
Lastly the clutch seems alot harder than both my other puntos, so not sure about that either otherwise she drives nice.
Wondering if she may be an ex from someone on here. Nice alloys and great cond.
Hopefully I'll get time to do a few mods or just make her loook nicer (never really got chance on my others

This is going to sound really girly and pathetic...but I love that colour lol

Have to agree on the colour (if id seen the colour seperately i would nt have seen in in my minds eye on a punto but it works great)

I drive a xsara (The punto is my wifes) and the clutch is quite stiff on that also and has been since i bought it with no problems so in your case it could just be the way it is if it does nt have any other symptoms.

The pulling could be tracking or might be worth checking the dampners seated right in its turret (or like you say could just need changed)

You can pick up another gearknob for a couple of pounds from the scrappy if that ones knackered and basically just pushes on.

Finally ... enjoy the car

The drivers side door doesnt look like it lines up at the bottom...or am I just seeing things? Nice colour and alloys tho. =] What alloys are they? They look good on the 5 door.

No sorry, the door wasnt closed properly when the pictures were being taken
Also the alloys just say Italian classic in the centre disc thingy, otherwise I have no idea. I liked em though
