Man, you kept that quite . Just seen this thread mate .

Would love to hear how reliable they are .

Well i thought about posting in the cinq/sei section where i normally can be found but seemed wrong... Reliablility i'm sure will be the same as any car - take care of it and sure it'll be alright. Its at that point where things might start perishing but thats to be expected..

The paintwork is pretty good - just the roof and bonnet let it down a little, theres a couplle of little dinks and few bits where the lacquer is starting to peel. Those pictures are outside a guys bodyshop - beemers wheels are off being refurbed and that landy was in pieces and primer a week ago. Will be looking to get her resprayed by this guy at some point along the way so the paint will be epic then

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Am waiting for your professional judgement .

I'll get one if it serves you well! Is this going to be your daily driveR?

You sold the black cinq yet?

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Well since i've had it i've been driving my van 1 week and then the punto the next.. Let me put some more miles on it and i'll get back to you

Black cinq is provisionally sold to a forum member who's car is for sale in order to fund the purchase. I will be getting it MOT'd in the next couple of weeks and then i'll be cleaning and polishing her up for him. Will get some pictures up when done. Sei turbo will also be going at some point but in no rush so please don't anyone send me silly offers for it. Needs a few bits doing before its ready to go.

After that i will have space for once, thinking i might get a 4x4 to add to the collection, would have a vehicle for all situations then lol,

Car is brutal!! Great Car!

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Brutal probably isn't the word i'd choose for a standard hot hatch but cheers..

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

So the temptation to start modding things on this are great, keep finding myself looking at FMIC's. Toying with the idea of fitting one along with the Mocal oil cooler from the sei. This in turn means i could fit the GT IC and oil cooler onto the turbo sei (they are one behind the other on a mount for those who not familiar with them), a setup i know works well on the VA turbo cento's - well its an improvement on what VA supplied anyways.

I really want to keep it looking as original as possible and defo want to keep the standard airbox.. Is there really any point fitting a FMIC without changing the standard air box though???

As a side note, been messed around over this vac hose and boost valve - ordered both from elsewhere so that should turn up soon. Also new number plates arrived y'day and new badges ordered - should make it look more tidy and new looking.

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Was properly impressed by the GT today mate

Handles so well and the acceleration is mint!! Puts my Astra to shame..

Loved the DumpValve too :yum:

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Glad you liked her.. Everyone needs a dump valve - its enriches your life greatly

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

So black samco elbows and dump valve pipe are on order - no-one stocks black stuff so waiting for them to be made, so will be a few weeks before i can try fitting. Everything black so should be pretty stealth install
Will be using the bigger mocal oil cooler from my sei turbo and then using Molly's IC and oil cooler on the sei - thats the plan anyway. Planning to move the rad on the sei over infront of the AC rad like on most modern cars and then fit the PGT IC/oil cooler where the rad normally is - should improve airflow through the front no end.

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Lovely car and you don't see many around now. No need to change the looks, it looks good enough oem love the colour too.

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Yeah they have become a bit like Nova's did. Stock ones are very rare indeed, i felt the need to buy it just incase someone else did and ruined it lol.

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Re: Molly II - Punto GT3

Well they are out there.. but there is only 384 of them on the road at the moment so not suprising they are hard to find.. clicky

240 of them are SORN too.. or is that on top of the 380 of them?

Extremely rare on the whole, let alone standard.. its lovely.

I though the Astra Bertones were rare.. but theres 8000 of them.. compared to 100,000 of standard Astras...

Haha that is no suprise with the astras you see them apsolutly everywhere.

I thought mine was rare when i first bought it but now i know there is over 12000 others out there. lol.

No wonder the Punto GT is rare they are very popular same as the HGT's as there is not many more than 500 or 600 out there.
