buckets, roll cage then strip it
and why is the inverter near your sub its supposed to be near your battery
thought u said it was more like 180-190 bhp?

sure he always said it was 160
thought u said it was more like 180-190 bhp?
that was a yellow one, that did have 190 coz it had a T25 Garret hybrid turbo on.. but the head gasket went on it so i decided it would be a bad investment
buckets, roll cage then strip it
and why is the inverter near your sub its supposed to be near your battery
its a fuse..

its a fuse..
you know what i meant lol
its ment to be as close to your battery as possible
my old sub had the fuse there but new amps got them put near the battery
well to be honest i cant see how it would make a difference.. aslong as the fuse is in the line somewere i cant see it harming anything.. my old ssytem didnt even have a fuse in the power line at all :lol:

i didnt see the difference either but the people that fittd all my stuff said it was a big no no
maybe coz its further away from the amp maybe?
oh and car looks nice whats been done to the engine then?
needs 2 be near the battery so any risk of fire is minimised
i thought i never remembered u saying it was blue lol, now i no its a diff car
sicky - thats the only reason i could think of why the fuse would have to be at the battery end..
deano_sxi - seb chip, bleed valve, CDA (guarenteed 10% bhp inc) no cat other than that standard.
yeah coz if u think about it, if the wire caries way too much current and gets dead hot, its better for the sohrtest possible length of wire to get so hot until it breaks, so if it only overheats 30cm then breaks its better than overheating 2 or 3m coz it could of started a fire by then

you need an fuse right beside your battery, if not, the cable may become worn or cut somewhere between the battery and boot, causing it to short on the body, the cable will heat up, go on fire, and your punto will be nothing but cinders.
fuses protect the cable, not the amp.
thats probs a better explanation haha

Looks Good :)
I Like That :thumbs:
Yer i like that dont think it needs moddin looks gd as it is:)
ps how does it handle i dunno y but iv always imagined them to be abit rolly polly?
lovely car - i'd buy one if i could afford to run it, as they're Extremely tempremental and rattle more than anything. the petrol consumption is also shocking at best - but it looks clean and tidy.
can i assume the power figures are recaulculated back to the fly ?
i think your next mod should be a saab intercooler on the front :D
Fillip - handeling is quite amazing, but thats probably coz there is a set of 700 pound coilovers on the front and shocks and springs on the back..
Middo - Saab Intercooler was the plan ;) also with a Garret T25 Hybrid turbo.
Deano - it has a dumpvalve o nit now, DV26

sounds promising then :) you planning on developing the seb stage, or are you just going to update the ic ?
well i need to find out what Sebchip is in it first but ive been told its the 4.0 that delivers 133bhp - 165bhp with just the chip.. i thought about upgrading to the SEB 4.1 chip which is meant to give the GT3 engine 180bhp.. :o
also with the uprated psi im running (16psi instead of 12psi) id boost that up to about 18 maybe 19 psi, but thats only with the Seb 4.1 and the T25. i should be looking at about 200bhp give or take
yeah - it would be rapid, but its at that stage that the engine starts to become unreliable lol :) i'd go for it if i had the car and the money :D
well that is exactly why its staying as is...
i got such a kick 2day when a beemer driver, in the shades and the blonde bimbo in the passenger seat doing her hair... looked over i looked back, he sorta lifted his head... i gave him a wierd look..
lights went to green he shot off.... i followed... he lost :|
end of story really..

looks good chris i like it! must be alot quicker than the corsa which in my mind is a big PLUS :thumbs:
how much did you get in the end for the corsa, i would imagine you would of had some cash to spare as the punto is older than the corsa?
Ya next mod should be intercooler on the front then a fse boost valve and 18 - 22 psi should be fine just get the cam belt checked as mine whent not so long back but luckily no damage just cant get the timming sorted as they dont do a manual for it. If ya want 200 bhp ul need a better fuel pump to keep up otherwise it will be starved of fuel and the one you have will pack in.
looks nice - quite like them cars :)
the corsa isstill up for grabs.. i want 5k for it.. ono of cause :D
and the punto is a little faster than the corsa..
