hi have u took the engine out yet to see if it fits into the punto ,
only joking it looks ok but bound to go wrong , ecu electrics , idling stuff like that,
Yeah, dont think they realise French are historically worse then Italian
I recently had a drive in a 172 with a GrpN remap and what not, it was responsive, fast and the turn in was solid, but the othe lad got out of the Mint after his go with a bigger grin then i did.
Certainly a good package, but far from complete, and there are alot of them about, really nice cars but not my bag deep down.
Its only because they are now available for dirt cheap alot of GT owners are buying them, its not a bad natural progression.
As for VW, stay away, they're a load of shite!

bit of a bold statement really isn't it!
my mate rags the crap out of his clio 172 never services it and just tops it up when it needs it and its still quicker than me gt!
tbf its pretty rough but it hasn't ****ed up and he treats it like crap so i do think its rather funnny how you can say its bound to go wrong really!how do you know that for sure????
Because it's French. They all do.
