Nice ?

 

[Didge3]

Not to my taste but you can tell its been done very well. I actually quite like the rear of it minus the spoiler. Keep us updated though, always nice to see what people are doing with their Fiats

thank you all

Re: My "RICE" Punto MK2B aka disco on wheels

I actually like it, I love the effort and thought that been put into it. Looks very cool.
I'd actually would've done something about those hideous door mirrors.. I am sick of mine and want to get rid of them to something more slick.

Door handles Idk about them too about them being black (or there at all haha!)

It's not my taste but I do see you put a lot time and a fair bit of money into it. Still using stock exhaust?

im looking into geting the "tuner" M3 look door mirrors this winter , there are many differant varients of them. i want to get the ones with electric control(as my car has electric control mirrors) and with built in side blinkers so i can remove them from the stock location, we need to have blinkers somewhere on the side of the car to pass MOT here...

For the the door handles, im removing the rear ones this winter, smooting it out, and for the fronts i dont know yet. leave them black for some color differance, paint them car color, or retrofit a barchetta ones.

thank you. yes the exhaust is still stock HAHA, but there is a plan to do a full downpipe, decat and straight pipe this winter if all goes by the plan. as the exhaust is pretty much rusted gone,so i hope it goes as planed

 

[AnteLo]

yeah I would recommend just straight piping it, why you didn't get the 1.9? How far do you plan to push the 1.3?

well im more for look modifications than caring much about engine, was briefly thinking of HGT swaping it,but its not worth it. if i wanted to go for power id start with hgt. well the car is my first car and at the start i didnt think of doing anything of this to it it was suppose to be a cheap daily haha ;D not sure how far ill push it, its a HIGH milage engine so its risky.. but i think that ill leave it at 100hp even after straight pipe.

 

[AnteLo]

If you want a tunable engine go for 1.9 JTD, it can take +400hp on stock internals. I wouldn't care that much about mileage as I would about maintenance. These engines can take a lot abuse if properly warmed up and maintained

thanks for the information.I heard otherwise ,that 1.9 are not as reliable..but i doubt ill change engines in this car maybe next project car will be a 1.9 power punto but for now i love RICE

You heard very wrong my friend, they have forged internals from factory

[ame]https://youtu.be/aJUrpHO1m6s[/ame] this is a Croatian Punto, it has +80 000km on +300hp setting and at least 20 000 on 350hp

[ame]https://youtu.be/KlOpeUjkD9A[/ame] or this one, look how high his EGT are and the engine is still working

There are countless examples of JTD engines making huge power while being reliable AF

With bolt on parts from Fiats/Alfas the 1.9 16v JTD can make 260hp with no smoke

thats crazy good to know i do agree that jtd engines are quite reliable, even 1.3s. for now ill still stay on "looks"

Weird, my experience of 1.9 ownership is very different. It’s one thing to increase boost on an engine and it not go bang. But it’s another thing to drive down the road and not have the cambelt give way, the water pump seize up or the turbo fail. The flywheel give up, the EGR valve block up, these engines are very comment and have a large amount of common failure points.

You ain’t gonna get 400hp under the bonnet of a mark2b 1.3 multijet without seriously re-engineering things like the gearbox, brakes running gear and subframe

400bhp on a stock 1.9 would need a huge turbo which would also add some pretty huge turbo lag.

Nice looking car! I would get a stearing wheel from punto sporting and black leather seats from Alfa 147. O and Ante that white Punto is a beast.
But that is 16v with reinforced flywheel, big ass turbo and a bunch of other mods. But the fact that internal are stock is impresive.

thank you. about the leather seats, i bought one set thinking it was from 147 but was from 156.. seats look identical but the mounting is differant, i still have them at home, but since they are not a direct replacment like 147, im still working on welding new mountings so i can use them

 

[sitni78]

I like the ones from GT more than the ones from 147. The problem is that GT is a 3 door car and my JTD is a 5 door. They fit but they have that lach for flipping the seat over so it looks kinda out of place. I know I am a bit OCD like that

yeah i like GT ones more to, but hard to find them here.
