why is this (coupe engine punto) back for sale on ebay ??

[JonnyGT]

ill tell you the biggest fault with my old 2ltr

ready....


DTA!!!!!!!!!

its just so hard to get it to run nice like a everyday car.

future conversions will use stock managment with mapable chips.

Did you end up using a custom stand along unit from germany which had launch control on it?

that car was proper built by cossvaux in sheffield i know i guy that worked on it but beside's the point i didnt like the idea of cutting the chassis and i think the member on here claiming he owned it was a fake,just someone messing about.

No offence dude but it wasnt built by cossvaux they just made a few finishing touches - drivr shadts and a paint job iirc. The car was built somewhere down south.
As for it being a death trap or the engine falling out. The engine is still in now and runs. It takes a slating on here because the guy never comes on to deffend his car. NOBODY on here really knows how much was cut from the car or if the structure has been weekend signifficantly. Who knows? There could have been some very serious strengthening of the front end (like is done to nova and corsas when a 2ltr is installed) And last time i heard minifreak hadnt done anything like that.?

At the end of the day its got the biggest engine of a punto in the u.k. and thats pretty impressive imo!

did u use solid engine mounts wiv ur 2ltr or were they fitted wiv rubbers like a normal GT (jus thought if they were solid engine mounts wud vibrate like mad)wud drive me nuts if so..

Doubt it, there was a vid of here of it on the rollers at TnR and on throttle release the engine jerked quite severely

LOL what a load of pish.

I spoke to 5POT at Trax last year, for quite a while actually.

I spent quite a long time looking around the car as well as I wanted to see with my own eyes how much was cut. It was quite a lot.

Pish? Im sorry puntoboy are you some sort of machanical engineer?
You had a look at the car while it was on the floor... Give me a brake.
God forbid there was a punto better than minifreaks (puntosports)
What i wrote was true rather than 'your educated oppinion'

(no offence gregg!)

[Puntoboy]

LOL it's nothing to do with Greg's car.

Fair play to 5POT for doing it but I personally would not have done it knowing the cutting involved and seeing it with my own eyes. Even 5POT said himself quite a lot needed to be cut. From the horse's mouth no less.

Have you actually seen this car?

I think it's really pathetic that people assume that something gets a slating because it's not Punto Sports. I appreciate a lot of cars that weren't built "on Punto Sports." And I think Greg will agree, his car isn't Punto Sports either, he built it himself and sold it.

surely if the chassis frame work is intact cutting a bit off the wheel tub is small fry ?
