i am not looking 2 increase the speed, more looking for ideas of how or what parts will make a fiat punto pull off faster,
e.g i would like to be able to notice it as a big differance.
not much what i can fink of see if any other smaller fiat gearboxes would fit
i put an older a mark1 clio gearbox in my mark 2 clio and it was much faster at pull off but had no more pull at 115
it wheel spun on gearchange in to 2nd all time if racing
have a look into that maybe like a 800cc cinqucento gearbox in it would have no top end but would be better at pulling off
strip the fooker!
I did (in the ax) when i went to santa pod, all i had was a seat and a steering wheel, and you could deffinatly feel the difference
Get something fast to tow it
Easy Way Of Getting More Speed Out Of A 1.1 Punto,and It Wont Cost Ya A Penny!get To The Top Of A Big Steep Hill And Fowking Nail It! Sure You Will Notice A Diffrence!
You just need to learn how to launch propperly.. not that i endorse racing on the public highways but most of the time the best moddification is learning how to launch
Punto's are renound for crap gearchanges and clutchs anyway..
just ask
me
stilo joe
ollie
matty
i think we must have gone through about 10 gearboxes between us all.
end of the day your not gonna get any speed out or a 1.1 or better pull off
Oooooo plastic gearboxes!
If you want to get good times at the Pod etc, then strip it out etc
If your on about traffic light grand prix, then dont bother!
i recon mattys widdos or slysicars idea are top ideas i fink that if u put propa same wheels on that could help coz 1.2 dnt like 17s lol so 1.1 mite like 10s or even the brake discs lmao
Use a grapple hook and attach it to a passing milk float!
thanks for some good ideas,
And some sarcastic ones lol
At the moment I will just focus on doing it up,
And making it look nice: p
top punto owners tip....
If you are making it "Just look nice" then DONT DONT DONT spend all your cash on bodykits/wheels/ice
As it WILL break mechanically very soon...
