the guy who cuts my hair drives a 1.2 8v punto and he reckons that its running 106bhp!!! the engine mods he's made to it are as follows. air filter- he reckons he getting 5bhp out of this mod alone, "uprated" spark plugs, NOS- this gets him 25bhp, full de-cat exhaust system. i tried not to laugh in his face...specially when he said nos lol and why is it that most punto drivers seem to be in touch with their feminine sides??

if it was a 75 with NOS and a filter it could well see 106hp.

The engine sounded shite (rattled etc) and didnt have any power , no power steering was shit, electrics were shit(windows/radio didnt work sometimes, radio sometimes wouldnt go off ) I broke the bonnet catch - fuck knows how + I Didnt like the seats
I like the GT's tho
