rangc Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 @5u3zero 195 was the OE, so I went for 205. The grip is amazing, especially in the ghat roads which I frequently do.(western ghats, Agumbe). By the way, you also seem to prefer the Sdrive!!

creativebala Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Did you try to source Abarth logo? That will make it pretty close to an Abarth Before seeing your car, the car I love the most in India is Red Punto and now, i know you know the answer.creativebala2010-01-30 14:47:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangc Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have placed an order for the metallic Abarth badge with a tool & die maker. It's been a couple of months now and am yet to hear from him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativebala Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Once you get your badges, get Red Punto's ORVM's covers and make a strip running along the bottom of the doors saying ABARTH & bingo, you have got a 100% Abarth look alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangc Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yeah, thanks for the suggestion, Bala. Will try to make it as close as possible to an Abarth look alike Planning to get an oringinal Abarth monogram from UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grip is amazing, especially in the ghat roads which I frequently do.(western ghats, Agumbe).[/quote'] Then you should have stuck to 195 and gone just a little lower than increasing the width. I had a Palio 1.6 with around 110bhp (against the Punto's 90bhp) and had 185's on it, which were fine and then moved to 195 because I upsized to 15". Anyway if you are happy so be it but 195 would have done the job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangc Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I did not go for the low profile tyres and reduce the ground clearence as you have some of the most notorious, unscientifically designed road humps in Karnataka !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb-alto Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 @rangc Have you got a performance filters? or any induction kit ? What other performance mods have you got ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangc Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Still looking out for the filter! I hope going in for a performance filter does not have any effect on the warranty of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb-alto Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 If you go for an induction kit then warranty is hampered. If you get a replacement filter that fits in your box then its fine. Just put the stock filter inside at the time of service. Search Petes store if they have a Green Cotton filter for punto. Its way better than K&N , pipercross or simota. Go for a set of Platinum or Irridium spark plugs. It will provide better performance and FE. http://www.petes.in/greenrep.html What engine oil are you using ? Use some semi synth oil or Mineral with SM formulation. Will help you get ultimate performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one checked the Fiat website for the accessories? They have listed the part number as well as cost for all accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativebala Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 @ Harikuttan, IIRC, you had some problem with gearing right? You too check for CSC replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangc Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Fiat dealers are calling up all the punto customers who's slave cylinder needs to be replaced and informing them. I got mine changed after the 1st service and now the gear shifting is very crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdemon17 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I wonder if they get the update version (Punto evo). I checked it out here in the UK and the build quality and fit and finsh is a lot better than the older one. Also the interior is a lot better in terms of aesthtics and materials used.

Obviously sir.. As cost-cutting & effectiveness isn't an Issue there. & I think that version will be kept securely as the face-lift of the current Generation version here.
