Default Punto saying hi

HI there

I m bob, and the prowed owner of a late mark 1 punto 1.2 SPI, she is britsh acing green. well I say it i BRG, how I thunk th book calmes it is Emareld green.

I intend to make her a bit of a sleeper. though not go over bored, just the odd tweak. as I do not want to race her, or ppl trying o race me on the public roads. Most of my driving is on countree roads, so a bit stffer sus so she dose not roll like a dubbel decker bus, but as potholes are all over the place round hear, I can not get a way with to hard or lowered sus

In an idle world I would like to get rid of the power steering
1) cos removes feel
2) cos the pump must tack way so of the engins power, and at 60 BHP I ant got that much to spear
but that is to much hard work for the momant.

dose any one know how much power is Niked by the pump any way

My plans are ATM
tweek the vaules gaps, (ie closer to the limet in the servis book) do not want to put new Cams in atm.

Check an if nessacery uprate fuel pump - Injeter

replace exsorst, from manafuld, to just befor the Back box ??
the old one is a bt rusty and a nice smooth stainless one, with race cat would help I think. +I don't want to make it sound like so clown has put a fat tail pipe on her.

Induction Kit, at some point, probably next service
and possably change the inlet manafuld.
OR did I read some where on hear that you should NOT do both

add stiffer anti roll bars, an dampers. and if I can find some stiffer but same length springs. as she tends to bounce on the ungerlating roads round hear, and roll on the constant cornes that make up the roads round hear


Right so what do you experts think (other that I can not spell)
