Stronger built than a punto

L33LEG, deffo, theres good tuning stages available also, from Stage 1-5. Stage 5 giving i think about 120bhp from the 1275 (overbored though) engine. 120bhp in a car weighing as much as my gearbox

Also, a friend of mine owns one of the most mental 1.3 turbo minis. Plays with cossies, Names MAtt, bit of a typical mini geek, but he's a nice bloke.

As you clearly can't understand what I was saying then I will tell you. I was pointing out that you referenced my car as having bad build quality when infact you own a corsa which we all know has the best build quality. Therefore please STFU

A Corsa chassis and shell is stronger than a punto. Go lookup the crash reports.

Matt strips the engine down himself. Its mental. Lag on the turbo is up to about 4k, then it picks up speed so fast that the car goes all over the place.
