f**king knowsit

 

[CrippsCorner]

I had basically the same as above buy in yellow. To be fair it was a laugh when it worked (which was rare) felt a lot faster than the 182 low down... and of course I had a dump valve! But the handling was terrible. Overall probably the worst car I ever owned. Still, paid £850 for it, completely destroyed it (to the point it was almost undrivable) and sold it for £650 which wasn't too bad really lol. Good old eBay.

 

[Harpham]

Had a Punto as my first car. Always loved the GTs. Had a thing for the yellow ones back then (I spot a trend here ).

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Christ, this brings back memories! (Albeit, not all fantastic ones lol)

I had mine for about 6 months, in that time the bloody thing never locked lol.

Reason for selling it occurred shortly after I went to jack it up to inspect a sticking caliper. The jack kept going up...the car, meanwhile, didn't lol!

Out of curiosity, I've just checked the DVLA site to find the fecker is still taxed! Jesus..

Couple pics from back in the day!

The wonky intercooler is some form of SAAB item that was 'made to fit' by the previous owner lol.

 

[.GAZ.]

Jesus.

 

[Chris n nic]

I f**king loved my old one.

Suspension needs raising imo x

APD in Swansea put the 2.0 turbo coupe engine in my friends punto, was the first one i believe back in 2008.

Greg did his well before then I'm sure...

In fact it was, got videos of it from 2006, so must have been around then, if not the year or 2 before

 

[Mr Plums]

They must be one of the worst looking cars since the ford scorpio!

 

[midge]

did it work?

Yep, the crank is a weak point on those engines though and it cracked

 

[Nick_Leeds]

The ad is completely sh*t. I do however quite like it.

 

[GW200]

No, it will genuinely eat most (standard) Evos and Imprezas for breakfast. Straight line and when rolling, they are pretty mighty.

Exactly. It leaves my 200 for dead and is also quicker than my mates 09 plate S3

 

[GW200]

But agreed, the advert is pony

 

[Midnight]

Exactly. It leaves my 200 for dead and is also quicker than my mates 09 plate S3

A 200 is hardly in Subaru/Evo group though is it.

Lets be honest a S3 is hardly the fastest thing about either. May be quick but comparing to an Evo is silly and pointless...







... Especially when it's parked.

 

[GW200]

Either way, it's a quick little motor.

 

[Midnight]

Either way, it's a quick little motor.

Get your mate to do a better advert, for the right price I'm sure it'd sell pretty quick.

Reading that advert I just assume it's been raced around McDonalds drive thru 15,000 times. A better advert would benefit the sale.

 

[Darren S]

Nothing sells a car like saying 'keeps up with evos and scoobies' PMSL
russ

I hate to piss on his chips, but I had my 'almost' stock Punto GT for over 6 years. Despite his having around 50 horses more than me - it would have to be a very poorly Evo or Scoob to get out-dragged by this.

Who fitted the seb2? A lot of those were poorly fitted. If on standard suspension (even though the pics show it lowered) - it will have the cornering dynamics of an oil tanker. A standard Saxo VTS would out-handle it any day.

That said, best of luck with it. £1.2k is a fair price if the majority of the car is clean.

D.

Would have to agree with this

God i remember that, black one wasnt it? remember it was on axle stands running like a sack of s**t, obviously not finished at that point.

 

[cat171]

I remember that car too. I'd imagine it would be really nose heavy ?

 

[Scrooge]

Didn't it half the chassis cut out?

 

[172Ben]

You didn't need to cut anything really, and mounts weren't that hard to do after I had a look at Greg's one year.

 

[fossie]

Me and wilkyway did a 2.0 16v turbo conversion. Gave in and sold it in the end lol
