Re: MK2b Sporting
steering the convo away from gash.....
Anyone got one of these?
Someone offered me an OMP strut brace in red at brooklands but i couldnt find him again and dont know what forum hes from (if any) had a silver coupe and parked at the bottom of the hill that the FF stand was on
EDIT: just realised that the link is for a lower strut, still worth seeing peoples opinions though

Re: MK2b Sporting
If your car's lowered its more than likely going to scrape over anything such as speed bumps etc.
I'd go for upper if anything.. The punto's handling is always going to be a bit terrible even with mods.

A bit of confusion, this post says that the suspension on the 1.4 sporting is the same as the HGT so different from the 1.2 8v and 16v
Anyone that can clarify?

Re: MK2b Sporting
Not really been on here much but a bit of an update
The car is now lowered on Eibach sportlines and Bilstein B6 shocks. Its completely transformed the handling and im really impressed with it
removed all the audio from the boot aswell so thats for sale if anyone wants it
Installed a custom induction kit following the idea of the GSR kit aswell. Should be getting it RR'd on Monday so can post up the results then

Re: MK2b Sporting
Looking good mate..
I've got some new Abarth sideskirts for sale if you're interested. Would be nice to see them on another black Sporting since I'm not going to put them on mine.
Let me know if you're interested.

Re: MK2b Sporting
PM me price pls
But is that on the Red Dot RR? the one that so so many have claimed over reads?
I cant see a car gaining 25bhp from just induction and a backbox. Thats a 33% increase
