My Punto GT

love these cars, u had any problems with it at all?
SQ5
Fiat have actually just bought out another 1.4 Turbo 
But only has 120bhp as standard!
They can push a lot with a few mods. I don't know exactly what mine is as not been rolling roaded but;
130 - Standard
+ 30 - Superchip
+ 7-10 - exhaust and filter (felt rapid once exhaust was done!)
- 15-20 depreciation power
Hopefully around 140-160 I would hope!
No major problems whatsoever, brake hose corroded and rear bushes being done tomorrow!
It's also lowered around 20mm (standard GT & Sporting) and then another 40mm on Gmax uprated spring and shocks.
Had new turbo, cambelt, head gasket, chip, suspension all done about 3000 miles before i picked it up. I got it for £1900 which wasn't bad IMO.
Runs sweet as!

i think they have something called a BPU, which is basic power upgrade, remap, air filter, exhaust, decat and wack the boost up and apparently they go like stick after that lol

I've owned it since February
Corners aint too bad, but centre of gravity is so high on these, rolls like a ball!

205 gti is a classic.
williams is a classic.
mini 1275gt is a classic.

S2000
Nice. I've always fancied getting one, but finding a standard looking one these days is pretty tough.
m-tec bmw 325 ci spo
get rid of the super chip there crap join www.puntosports.co.uk pm mr hans and get hold of a seb2 chip
fiesta turbo/Golf 1.8t
Its on the main road between Haverhill and Sudbury,about 20mins from Bury.
The cing makes 132bhp at 10psi with green filter/exhaust and pace intercooler.
So with 1.2bar and a healthy engine/turbo you should be seeing 150bhp or so.

For a start you won't get 30 bhp with a superchip by itself. The increase in power and torque comes from running a higher pressure with a richer map.
Secondly, if you're running 1.2 bar constant pressure, and it's holding higher up the rev range can I suggest you drop it a bit. The superchips were never renowned for being particularly good with higher boost.
Power? More like 150 at the fly and circa 170 lb/ft.
^^ What he said
You won't regret it, mine was running 1.5 bar all day long on a SEB2 chip, and it was comedy quick.
Didn't corner all that well though, but through 2nd and 3rd gear it was an absolute animal
Nice car, the 4th photo down does the bodywork more justice.
Get some Jetseal 109 on the paint and it'll really shimmer.
Punto's seem like value although I'm a bigger fan of the uno turbo, it's that big back window on the punto which I think looks a bit odd.
There was a geezer on here with a powerful turbo coupe and tbh I'd completely overlooked fiat's in terms of a performance car in the past, it seems they are cheap to buy, reasonably cheap to run, fairly easy and cheap to achieve more power too and that cant be bad!

impreza p1
i had a white gt2, was quickish in a straight line but i had so many problems, fuel tank leaking, fuel line split, rocker cover leaking etc. not the most realiable car i had but was quite fun i suppose. didnt handle to bad when it was lowered. wouldnt say it was a classic though, not by a long shot

i feel the love
my old one, Full seb 2 set up circa 170bhp.....well underrated motor on her (faster than a 172 with seb2 set up)
lol, just need darren s to see this thread too, share the love.
Helllllllloooooo! I'm here! :clown:
Fecking awesome cars. Not sure it's a true classic, but its not damn far off. Loved mine until the very day I sold it and has many hooligan tendancies that the 182 is simply not able to replicate.
With a decent suspension change, small but useful power mods and retain the 14" tiddlers on all four corners - these are proper rapid little feckers.
Love them to bits and will always admire them if I see one out on the road. :approve:

Saw my GT at the weekend, still unmolested, sold as seen in top pic (good times
) Wish it was still mine though

That's good news though, surely Gaz? At least the new owner is looking after it? I haven't seen mine since I sold it - would really like to know how it's been treated!

1.5 bar?
Unless you're Greg, that sounds just plain silly. It certainly won't hold 1.5 bar which appears to be what you're saying.
Standard turbo, seb2 and 1.2 bar holding or 1.3 bar if you have a GT1 because of lower compression. Any more and rolling roads have shown a lot of leaning off at those sort of pressures.
