Prefer your first one. Loved mine, had great fun with it.

Ah the Scorpion system. I had a dcatted Magnex to start with, pops bangs and gurgles, but too hard core after a year or so. Go the Scorpion, but hated that pipe. So i got the rear box chopped out and a tailpipe hidden under the bumper, stealth stylee.

Loved that, i'm 90% sure its dead now

 

[the grumpy one]

wow, back in the day when they were fairly fresh lol

have you tried looking for it?

theres a website to check if it has tax or something...cant remember the name of it tho.

 

[172head]

Oh the Punto GT's i love them, and i still miss mine now!

Absolutely mint and standard apart from the Baileys DV26 dump valve!!

 

[cat171]

I think they came with some of the most awfulest wheels to ever some on a car tbh. Apart from the wheels (and build quality) they were nice little hot hatches.

I like the black one the best as it looks pretty stealth


- grumpy one, do you live round south harrow by chance ?

 

[JD]

Wwhat sort of numbers do these kick out (you lot are quicker than google!)?

 

[cat171]

136 bhp standard. 1.4 engine.

 

[dom_182]

Here is a couple of pics of mine. Loved it, mine was running 166bhp when I sold it. Sorry if they are a bit big :S

How dare thee!!! The wheels are the best thing about them!!!

Did have a set of 16" Super Leggras in Anthricite, but went back to standard as it went better imo (Crap pic alert!!)

 

[dom_182]

Mint that, mate!!

 

[Gaz_]

Bloody loved it i did!!! I'm gonna steer DarrenS to this thread!!!

 

[SBV116]

That car was feckin awesome!!! So many mint memories in that era!! Tim laden making the scooby pop and you give it a boot full and it spit hte biggest flame ever! awesome!!

 

[DannyR]

Nice, I loved mine, one of the best cars I've ever owned! Was a proper stealth...

Only photo's I have of it too. Had it a year and took loads but computer got wiped before I backed them up. Would definitely have another one as an everyday/drag car.

Decatted Magnex = WIN!!!!

Chasing that Intergrale (sp) and Proctors Focus RS ftw!!!

 

[samoose]

i loved mine too but running 167bhp meant it drank like a bugger and got fed up of replacing bit after bit!
here she is on here 9x16 borbet a's!

 

[Paul.M]

they seem like nice little pocket rockets these
but i just cant seem to like them looks wise

My old one. Bought in 2003 and sold to my bro in 2005 and he still has it.

Fast, but ugly as sin! Much like those wee starlet things.

 

[Gaz_]

Them bangle lines are warping your sight!!!

 

[Mark One]

^^ the starlet things are glanzas. And although ugly (as sin) are a few leagues above puntos.

These puntos, they are not turbo carb like the R5 GTT are they?

You're right there. Especially the interior!!! But mine was kicking out 168bhp, and it was sooo much fun!!

WTF??!!

No, multipoint

 

[Mark One]

no dude!

ah not too bad then

 

[SBV116]

People mock then, but gaz's was a good motor, run way over stock power and never had any mechanical issues apart from a clutch go, but that could happy to anything!!!

 

[samoose]

ha ha! mint times!!! that grale was popping flames for fun!!!

mine had a de-cat and magnex and it was loud as fook but did sound bloody awsome did not sound like a punto at all!
good fun!

I can't believe that I don't recognise any of the GT's in this thread (and I used to own Puntosports Club)

I miss mine too, was looking in the ad's only the other day, but the other half would go mental and I got rid of mine to buy a Valver a long while ago.

Had the most wonderful burble with a no silencer, no cat side exit and a seb. Late summer's eve, cool air and plenty of flames

(as for a 'few leagues above a punto', I can't ever recall having a problem getting away from a Glanza? Santa Pod I was running late 14's with 160 odd bhp and 190 odd lb/ft and surprised many a 'faster' car).

[kevin.s]

Didn't you hit a dog in yours lol

 

[172Ben]

I loved mine. Ahhhhh memories : )

i windered when you'd pop up
yours was a bloody animal!
shame you never got to prove the 230bhp odd figures on the RR

 

[Jamie86]

Cool cars but not quite an Uno Turbo haha

Was drawn by the thread title. I'll pic ***** in a sec. Was 207 before the new bits.

 

[mr_merc]

Yeah, on the M1 in the pissing rain late one night. I had my other half and her mother in the car and it was quite possibly the most epic (read: lucky) bit of driving I've ever done. Gutting to hit the dog, truly gutting as I love dogs, but thank god we're alive.

i remember the thread on PSC when you were breaking it everyone was swarming round like flies to sh*t!lol

twas such a shame it died!

surely if it was 207 before the last mods it must've been up near the 230mark!?
did you ever even get a chance to boot it?
