General opinions on bruno?

[steds20]

hey all, i bought a 1998 1.1 sporting about a month and a bit ago, i havent done much to it atm, i have given it a full service, put a new interior in it, as the drivers seat back was broken and the passenger seat was the wrong colour, i have also fitted a set of punto gt wheels, although im not sure if they are actually phase 3 or if they have been refurbed in anthracite, any opinions/ ideas on how its going, or possible next steps would be fabulous, thanks all =)

standard as bought:

As he stands now:

So far so good, keep on top of the maintenance and it will look after you well.

Not sure about the wheels, they make it look 4X4 ish, a lower profial tyre and lowing would probably help.

Love the black and orange combo

Totally agree I like the rear lights too but the tyre profile needs to go lower IMO

i agree about the tyres, they are the ones they came with, 185/55/14 and 185/50/14 are rare and not many decent tyres for them, when they get low i am going to look for 50s and fall back on 55s as for lowering im not going there atm, it bottoms out with more than 1 person in =S i need smaller spacers so they fit within the arches properly, it handles amazingly now, going from 165 nankangs to 185 avons and pirelli's makes you appreciate good tyres lol.

Totally agree I went from standard steelies to cinq sporting alloys mixed with a good set of Yokohamas sticks like sh*t to a blanket now

I think they're 5.5J rims, so 185/50/14 is the only sane choice. Were they 6J then 195/45/14s are cheaper.

If it's bottoming out (rather than rubbing) on standard springs, something is very wrong.

Get rid of the side stripes (hair dryer, very hot water, etc.).

Yeah he wasnt a bad boxer at british level mostly out of his depth against the top world heavyweights and had a weak chin

thats the size tyre a PuntoGT has as standard.. There isn't really a lack of good tyres in 185/50 they just expensive.. ContiSportContacts or Yoko A539's is what i would recommend.. I'm imagine they are catching due to the tyres

fingers is correct they are 5.5j (ET 45.5), What size spacers are you running??

I Tried both, I prefer the 175/50.

I Tried both, I prefer the 175/50.

Maybe, but the expense, man, the lack of tyre choice. I always go for 6J...........
