Circa 175bhp

Exterior:

Colour Coded badge at rear

Interior:

Boost gauge
Plasma dials


Electronic bits:

Im not into bling under the hood:

And the itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny turbo blowing it along:



Oh, and the badge that took HOURS doing with a tiny brush :S



Hope you all like, all comments welcome

A lad i used to know used to have 1 of these.I can remember chasing a wrx impreza in it and the imperza wasnt pulling away from us in the punto.There is something about these that i like.My mates used to have a cone filter on and when the rad fan kicked in the engine used to struggle to idle properly.

they are renowned for 'hunting' when the fan kicks in. they all do it

I always thought it was cause of the cone filter and the fan was sucking air from the filter.

Driven my mates gt turbo and do have to say they are nice cars to drive but it didn’t look as good as yours, by the way like the twin head lights suits the car very well.

yeah they aint shy, people arent aware of the GT either, so it keeps a bit of a sleeper feel to it too

warm air wouldnt make that much difference, after its passed through the turbo its hot as, until the fmic cools it, it more to do withthe current drawn from the fan i think

had two of these badboy's, one running 172 bhp and one was gt25 runnign1.6 bar pose to have over 200 bhp
they good when there workig but when it come's to changing the turbo it's a different story, inlet mani has to come of first and there is one bolt by the p/s pump which is a nightmare

I sometimes take a gander on the punto turbo forums and always hear them talking about "SEB", what is that if you can tell me, always wonderd

And those forums are so funny somtimes, dont know maybe some of the users are younger lads, but every post on it is "My car humped this and that" and when ever there is a post about some guy thinking of buying car "X" just about every cunt jumps in and says the punto will kill that shite ect ect
