Well it was a cracker of a day, FF's biggest event to date with over a hundred cars on the stand and there were even a few mk1 punto's on the stand, i didn't manage to speak to any of them sadly but thank you for turning up whoever you were.

This white GT was truely a thing of beauty, whoever you are I take my hat off to you sir. My old GT was stock and in pretty good condition but this thing totally puts it to shame. As far as i could tell this was completely stock bar the ride height?


Think i recognise this one but can't quite put a username to it..


And nice to see a nice, honest basic spec car thats unmolested, good work whoever this was.


There was one or two more mk1's i didn't manage to get a photo of just as it was so busy on the stand. I hope next year more of you mk1 owners will come though!!!

Thank you for allowing me to show my Mk1, mine is the standard Punto S shown in the post, I'd love to bring the car again next year, hopefully with the car looking even better, hopefully next time we can also have a chat.

Take care and good luck with future events

hi thanks for the complements on my gt , it was my first visit to stanford hall show and hoping to do some more this year ?
The car is almost standard apart from bailey dump valve and lowered although it may be returning it to standard high soon , I have had the car for 10 years now but it's not used much as I have another car .

 

[blu73]

to be honest i always wanted to lower mine a bit, one thing i think is acceptable on a stock or near stock GT

Mine had a baileys D/V fitted when i got it but i found it spooled up so much quicker with a recirc valve refitted, addictive as tisch tisch noises are. I used a recirc valve off a saab which was the same as the oem GT one except with metal innards instead of plastic. Finding the correct pipe was quite tricky though as i didn't want a bit of obvious silicone hose in there.

 

[Steve gt]

although it looks good lowered it spoils the ride ? , my son who is four has started to say ouch if we run over a pebble in the road !
I am tempted just to take the dv off and go standard , I av even found out the original radio !!

 

[blu73]

I suppose there is that, one could always get some adjustable shocks so you can soften it up a bit.. They aren't the worst handling car in the world as stock but i'm sure lowering a tad can't hurt But my GT was very comfy on its stock suspension i must say lol.
