With £10 of petrol my car does on average 40 miles. Less if I floor it everywhere. On a full tank and driving on the motorway my car will do about 180-200 miles.

Bit silly isnt it when you could buy a 106gti which is as quick as yours with limited mods and will happily do 70-80 miles from ten pounds

I was being sarcastic when i was saying there are loads of GT's, I never see any.

Hang on, I think the "lets slag Punto GT's" bandwagon is passing by. would anyone like me to get it to stop so you can jump on??

NO WONDER THE R5 HAS LESS POWER BOOST PRESSURE IS HALVED AND ITS A CARB NOT FUEL INJECTION..BUT HAS BETTER TUNING CAPABILITIES AND A FILTER.. EXHAUST UPPED BOOST TO 15PSI WILL PRETTY MUCH BLOW AWAY ANY PUNTO GT

SORRY BOUT THE CAPS COULDNT BE ARSED TURNING THEM OFF

LMFAO, turning the boost up on a R5GTT is asking for it to blow up. I was racing my mates who was running 14psi, the fan belt came off white smoke poored out of the side exit exhaust and WALLA! He has a warped head and blown head gasket.
