Welcome to Pixel Car Art

[Ben.H]

They say third times a charm and heres the third car i've had lol, but the first one i've bought since i actually passed my test and got a job, so the likelihood of me actually doing something to this is higher than the fiesta or polo

[Vicent M.]

f**k yes Ben!

This is gonna be a cool car, but they say italian cars arent that good tho...
We had a Stilo last summer, 1.6 16V, was cool, nice engine.

What plans have you for it? Abarth Aero!

[_RX7 _]

Looks really good mna, very tidy little car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

Slam it.

[Daniel.]

Italian cars are fine.



Sick dude congrats, enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

[Curtis]

You actually bought one, you massive gay.

[Sir KV]

(IMG:http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/staff/dbates/spinners.gif)
Buy spinner Hubcaps for it.

but seriously. congrats dude.

[Ben.H]

i might some for the crack lol

[Vicent M.]

Italian cars are fine.

As design yes, engines not that, and electronics... man...

A friend had a black 156, it was a 2.0 Twin Spark, and a few days ago
-yo jose wheres the alfa?
-in the junkyard

went to the junkyard cause the engine had no lubrication

And the same goes to the Stilo we had, 2 days using it and the door panel was taking off lol



but dont get me wrong, i dont mean italian cars are a s**t, i would have one for sure

[Daniel.]

blah blah blah I know everything about cars because I drive my mom's Peugeot and I have all the experience all the cars are s**t except the ones I like, so stop liking what I don't like

Then explain how my uncle's 146 1.8 Twin Spark had nearly 200,000km on it and we made a 2000km roadtrip from the Netherlands to Montenegro, without ANY issues..

All the buttons and electronic things worked perfectly

The fact that your friend doesn't know s**t about cars and doesn't know how to properly maintain them doesn't mean the cars are s**t

Ben, I'm sorry for derailing your thread man, but Vicent this retarded vision of yours about cars has to stop lol

Yes, my friend don't know about cars.

And thats why he had these cars and 23yo (older than you)

You can't say a group of cars is the best because you've had one and it worked perfectly, cause you're not the only one who has or will have that car, and I'm sure someone with more years driving cars and knowing more than you may have that car with lots of problems, thing that will make you shut you the f**k up. Simple as that. VW owners say that TDi engines are awesome, or HDi ones, but you need the oppinion of other people to afirm a car is awesome. In my case, my pug have 240.000 kms and is working perfectly, my friend Blanquito have in his car like 650.000kms and is the same engine, but still can come a 406 owner and say that sucks because it didnt worked due to electric problems or s**t.

If I speak I speak from my experiences, you can defend but not impose.
My dad had an Alfa 75, and it also went to the junkyard like the 156, that make my dad don't know s**t about cars and don't know how to properly maintain ? And no, I don't know everything about cars, but I know or I can know stuff, thats a reason why im studying mechanics lol

Im sorry dude, but your argument is just stupid.


@Ben, sorry too

The Turbo Plus wheels fit perfectly, when you can, buy them without doubt! Also, if you look for any kit, I suggest you the Abarth one.

[Nikola]

he scrapped a 75?
that really is dumb
alfa romeo 75's are rare and cool

the punto looks good, with a decent lowering and some cool maybe oem wheels it would look pretty cool (some alfa rims perhaps).

Nope, lubrication fail.

I think it was a T-Spark, but don't know sure

[Nikola]

well couldn't that be fixed with a new engine?

[Vicent M.]

well couldn't that be fixed with a new engine?

Dunno, depends of the money he had in that moment, but it was better send it to the junkyard and focus in the Benzo

pls, lets continue this in another thread... Ben will cut our head lol

I'll just repost this so it doesnt get lost in all that lol

[Mkid]

Nice car.

You may be surprised to know that this used to be one of my favorite cars when I was younger and it was still a fairly new car.

They didn't make this in the US so I dreamed of moving to Portugal and buying an Abarth one. lol

I was also a fan of the 306

[Henrique.]

Yes, my friend don't know about cars.

And thats why he had these cars and 23yo (older than you)
*bunch of cars*

Dude, stop ejaculating with other people's d**ks.

@topic: Not a volksbrother anymore? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Nice car man, looks mint. 1.0 motor?

[Ben.H]

lol, I guess something like this would be a real oddity in the US mike, Henrique I am a man of varied tastes, you can bet i will own another vw at some point in the not too distant future, it's a 1.2 8v

Kit car inspired maybe?

[Ben.H]

you can actually buy that kit for 1 and a half grand lol, would be cool but maybe not a 1.2

[Curtis]

(IMG:http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/skinz2006/Copyofuntitled.jpg)

Get claws, make them stance

[Mkid]

the hood looks really weird without a grille or emblem. lol

pls leave the emblem on.

[Sir Marko Polo]

My uncle had a 2003 Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD a few years ago, said it was one of the best cars he's ever had.

Can't wait to see what you do to it

[Ben.H]

@mike, lol, I dont know how the badge is fitted, if its not just stuck on i wont bother touching it

@marko, thanks man, fiats have a bad reputation because of their italian roots but i think its unfair, same for alfa romeos in all fairness

[Mkid]

@mike, lol, I dont know how the badge is fitted, if its not just stuck on i wont bother touching it

That means you considered it!

I don\'t understand this trend. 97% of cars look better with their proper badges.

[Faяaп.]

In your opinion.





Nice car ben!

[Ben.H]

lol, who says I was going to take it off, I was thinking a black badge would look nicer, thanks faran

dont lower it

dont put a boso pipe on it

[Nikola]

^reverse psychology

kit car look would be interesting, but probably not practical

[Big Daddy Clem]

Abarth bodykit looks cleaner

[Curtis]

That means you considered it!

UK guys: stahp de-badging everything.

Lol that was one of the first things i did (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) Get rid of everything except the manufacturer badge. It just looks cleaner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

[JoviBlue]

needs old abarth rims, rally tyres, mudflaps, function all the way through and rally the s**t out of it do it now

[Nikola]

totally
some cromodoras or sparco wheels

[Brandon]

1. just slam it and dont baby it, its a car who gives a f**k.

2. go to swagfag euro meets and put stickers on your car explaining how awful bags are and that anyone who has them contributed to 9/11 and the holocaust.

3. f**k HELLA bitches then hook them up with said swagfags so they get sloppy seconds/thirds/etc

4. ????

5. profit

[Mkid]

Out of the 3, i'd pick black.

[Vicent M.]

yellow is pretty sweet, but id go to black!

if you gonna repaint, i suggest you the black/purple from the Stilo

[Ben.H]

(IMG:http://i43.tinypic.com/bhx55j.jpg)

[Myca]

nice choice, congrats!

[Daniel.]

Daaamn congrats, why did you buy a 2nd one though?

[JoviBlue]

car whore

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) congrats tho

[Henrique.]

I honestly think that the green one with textured bumpers is the cutest thing ever. I'd keep it like that no matter what, lol

[Unox.]

So he can still go places if he has to take the other off the road to install mods

[Faяaп.]

Curtis v2.0


Cool stuff. That's really cheap for 200 euro. Then again cars here are typically big and fully loaded so I guess that is typical there

[JoviBlue]

No euro mainstream poo here all British money of her royalties British bank

[Ben.H]

So he can still go places if he has to take the other off the road to install mods

Nope, but good guess though. I'm just selling it for parts and scrapping the rest, it has lowering springs, a polished and bored throttle body and other bits ill use for my new one, the second black one is the one I'm actually going to drive

[JoviBlue]

Small rims, offset and poke, brutal exhaust, modded header and sick tidy interior and your sorted

[Ben.H]

i mean technically i could afford these wheels and a hefty drop at the moment

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-16-Lancia-Del...=item4abd158cb3

i'm honestly open to any 4x98 wheel suggestion that is unique and not s**t or expensive. When i get wheels i want them refurbed metallic purple, fully sick

4x98? how big are your wheels?

[Ben.H]

4x98

i think its common for italian cars, 16s will fit under the arches easily, i think its on 15s now, might be 14s though

does anyone know where i can some cool stickers for blogs and s**t, shirtstuckedin has s**t stickers now the old sparkle ones were sick, i wanted a purple sparkle one but he hasn't got it now. any other ones like hightopfade or something

That's because commie

I mean trunk space is too small on pic, that Ben shown. Oh wait, it's subwoofers, not speakers. Still too damn big.

they are probably 10 inch subs

need 18 inch subs

[Ben.H]

I don't really need boot space anyway to be honest

also what happened to the car?

A gearbox mount basically isnt there, causing driveshafts to be lost, in all fairness the guy has agreed to recover and repair everything free of charge

?

[Myca]

Some aerospace factories produced non-military goods, and forged rims is very popular, a lot of companies makes them. Don't worry, quality much better than chinese. lol

[Faяaп.]

Is that a stock front bumper? Looks cool.

[uiui]

I don't like punto but these looks good.
http://www.fastcar.co.uk/tag/modified-fiat-punto/

[Daniel.]

Fix it again tony!

At least it's a free fix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

[Ben.H]

(IMG:http://i43.tinypic.com/2rcbbl1.jpg)

[Ben.H]

I have a list of jobs to do with this car

in order of urgency

- fix dogleg engine mount
- replace driveshaft
- refit backbox
- fit rear coilovers
- wire in speakers
- wire in sub

after this mods can resume, I\'m thinking 16 inch wheels are in order, perhaps coupe turbo wheels

(IMG:http://46236cec68fa6e86267e-a642c9855f5c29d8e23967736a3097bf.r27.cf3.rackcdn.com/36096.jpg)


mods will probably be in this order now

- wheels
- abarth side skirts
- abarth rear bumper
- smoothed bootlid
- alfa 147 seats


if I keep the car long enough and I find myself in the financial position, i'd definitely consider a 1.4 turbo from a punto gt, 130bhp standard, capable of 200, in a car weighing less than 900kg, very good, but if I did that i'd have to find myself some brembos off a fiat coupe turbo

Been a while Ben! Sweet to see you're driving now and I've always been a fan of these puntos especially the MK2b, I know thats an active sport but is it a 16v 6 speed? Sweet cars mate and nice to see you've lowered it etc. I look forward to future updates!
