Grande Punto 'Starjet' My GPS - Update 02/10/08 (PICTURE HEAVY!)

[manthatkidisscrewed]

Sorry for taking your thread off topic mate.



To be completely honest with you mate although the map was great and I'm sure it would handle pretty well lowered it would have to be converted to petrol with circa 180bhp, shed 300kg and miraculously develop a more involving and well setup steering/suspension system

I hate to say it but the RS Clio 182 is very appealing to me right now :yum:


.... and back to the topic at hand. I'm curious about this 'new' GSR :chin:

lol no worries buddy!

yeah I guess once you're a petrol head you stay a petrol head! Those cars are seriously impressive...if you like one and can afford one then take advantage of the hard times everyone else is suffering and grab a bargain!

lol...it's the same as the old one but in a different colour lol! that's all i'm saying

lol i'm going to a change of colour...going abit outrageous lol. Technically it's the same kit but it just feels quite abit faster...seems to pick up better for some reason!

haha, the dust they pick up is ridiculous!

Probably the dust upsetting the original then

Just out of interest how much extra was your insurance with the GSR?

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

lol most likely yeah! Although i've kept the same filter on the end...just the hose that's changed!

It wasn't mate...rang up the fleet department to declare it and the woman was like 'I can't find induction kit' on the system...so she sent me a letter saying that i'd rang to declare it so my insurance is still valid but there's no effect on cost...wasn't gonna point out it may be under 'performance air filter'

Thats video is ace man!!!!

I really want to make one in a 1900's style, brown and dead shaky with the border round the edge and old school charlie chaplin piano music over it and the car ridiculusly speed up round the corneres and stuff. would be so LOL.

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

haha thanks alot mate!!

It's pretty easy really...you should do, i'm sure Windows Movie Maker has a sepia feature!!

Besides...with a man I doubt you need to speed the video up for your car to look fast!

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

Well then, just a quick update!!!

As some of you know i'm looking into changing....well, had a drive of the Abarth GP today...both versions...and have to say i'm SERIOUSLY impressed!!!!

Can't say for sure yet 'cos there's alot to consider but watch this space

Right then, well...I thought that I should now start a new Members Motors thread as this is the start of moving onto the next level. I've also had a big tidy up so no more lose wires everywhere!!

Before I hadn't really done any 'proper' Mods as such and was holding back abit if i'm honest. but i've had a think and have decided that i'm going to go all out! So there's alot now in the pipeline!
