240bhp 1.4L Abarth Punto *ULTIMATE FIRST CAR*

[@CardiganSnoopy]

Can someone explain? If your car got nicked why wouldn't you want it back?

[@CardiganSnoopy]

@New Forest Gump. True, I can definitely see where all of it's coming from now. I guess for some a car is more than a material good if they've spent so much time or effort into it.

[@TheRaceAcer]

@New Forest Gump. my dad crushed his Peugeot 106 cos it was seen driving along the pavements trying to run people over

[@LITTLEbigREG]

If someone went and ripped your missus a new arsehole would you want her back?

[@ResevoirGod]

@@LITTLEbigREG Bit of a stupid comparison. Unless you're also planning on trading your misses in for a new and improved one after doing the miles.

[@LITTLEbigREG]

@@ResevoirGod - it's not really. Some people do trade their wives in for something new. My mate's just married a lovely low mileage, 1 owner from new 21 year old red head with a cracking set of airbags.

Loved this episode, brought back some great memories. My 2nd car was a stock R reg Punto GT, 1.4 turbo, 130bhp, took a few years of modifications but got it to 218bhp before I let it go. Dual boost upgraded turbo, intercooler, cams, clutch, brakes and lines, de-cat straight through to Remus exhaust, ECU mapping, Abarth kit and conversion lights… that was a fun car! GREAT EPISODE!

[@Gioseph65]

The Grande Punto is one of the most underrated cars ever! Specially the Abarth. All of the Abarths are really good tho.

[@Nickoboss29]

You can call it the Big Punto (ENG. translation)

Keep it up Ricky, love the different type of cars you get on. Makes for a really varied content

[@clockwork2839]

Remember my first car Mk2 punto, all I did was lower 60mm on standard steel wheels, got rid of the rub strips and badges and fitted a K&N filter. The sound from the filter was incredible lift of throttle and you could hear it suck the air in. It was fast for what it was but think that came from handling rather than speed. Did learn what brake fade was in that car :-o

[@uktech]

Real people, real cars and most importantly, *real life.* Respect 👊🏼

[@TAG247]

I had a 1.4 t-jet and I put in the Abarth seats instead of the standard corbeau / sparco seats that he has - look far nicer and I doubt they’re THAT much heavier.. part from that, lovely motor

[@JSB24]

where did you find the seats from mate? I got a t jet as well, wanna spice it up a bit but so hard to find parts

Yes Ricky mate, respect for not forgetting the "affordable" hot hatches. Love how this looks, but it is designed by pininfarina who do the best looking car's. Been looking at these for a while now as love the shape. Keep it up, another Italian hot hatch, Alfa you have to do one at some point.

Lol that’s not a bad car tbh, 240bhp and looks quite nice 👍

[@klemzale5370]

The whole packege isnt cheap tho. Firts you need an abarth, thosoe can cost 5+K. Then you need a TD04 or at elast GT1446 turbocharger. Full exhaust, legal one costs even more, otherwise mostly straight piped. Injectors, LSD, complete suspension kit, remap and you should be good to go. Always wahted soemthing like this, but never ended up going for it. Engine is on the strong side

I think it's been said but I guess its how you derive the power and what the increase is.. If it's light and you dump what you can also surprising how the figures correlate.
