Steve's 'FULLPINT'

[Guest]

This is my Punto 1.4 GT3 Turbo on a R-plate with 107K on the clock in BROOM YELLOW..Ok mileage is a little high but it does have history. At 92K it had a top end overhaul costing over 1,500 quid. Replacement pistons were also fitted although not included with in the bill. Not sure what pistons though..
We I got the car she was sat on a set of 17's which I felt was a little on the big side.. After weeks of looking on eBay I found a set of rare 15's from the Fiat coupe, as seen on a previous post you will see that I gave them a full refurb and they look great
Under the hood you will find a bailey's dump valve and a K&N induction kit, a home made boost valve is also fitted although this I want to change..
The front lights are 'projector's' which I think looks the bee's knee's.. She has been lowered but not sure by how much!!! She is sat on G-Max shocks and springs on all four corners. Disc's all round have been changed to slotted one's running 'green stuff' brake pads.. A big bore exhaust but again I would like to fit a full stainless system..
 ICE; Head unit is a Kenwood KDC-334SG 4x45W, front dash speakers are standard, inner door ones have been replaced with a nice set of Fli, in the back we have a MDF shelf fitted with 2 x 6x9 Ripspeed 3-way's, 2 x Pioneer 6x9 TS-A6900 and in the rear quarter panel we have 2 x Bossmann RV-4200XT, these run thru a Bossmann crossover..
I have just got a rear spoiler for her which needs a little rub down and then a spray job.. I would love to fit a front strut brace to her but at the mo I am having real trouble in finding one that will fit...
What is she putting out??? Well the previous owner tells me that its about 147 with the boost turned off and 170 with it open....Not sure how true this is..On the 19th on this month I will be trying my best around Castle Combe race track..Ok Dar will lap me at least once but hey I'm just over for the fun of it..
Hope you enjoyed my little topic..Safe driving to all.. :harhar

it is a great lil drive. i have driven her and she does have a nice amount of kick  up the backside and that's with the boost turned off.  turned on i'm sure she'd be a nice handful of power. defo needs a strut brace tho.

Saw it in the flesh last weekend, the wheels look so much better than in the pics. Very clean example.

It came tp a point where i just had to say 'NO MORE MONEY TO BE SPENT ON IT'...Trouble is no matter what make or model of car you have they all need a nice fat wallet to keep em going..
