@New Forest Gump. True, I can definitely see where all of it's coming from now. I guess for some a car is more than a material good if they've spent so much time or effort into it.
@@ResevoirGod - it's not really. Some people do trade their wives in for something new. My mate's just married a lovely low mileage, 1 owner from new 21 year old red head with a cracking set of airbags.
Respect for showing love for the smaller horsepower cars still even tho you have acesss to the big tings now. These cars are why we all started watching man and so fun to rag about on uk roads. Wun sen.
Loved this episode, brought back some great memories. My 2nd car was a stock R reg Punto GT, 1.4 turbo, 130bhp, took a few years of modifications but got it to 218bhp before I let it go. Dual boost upgraded turbo, intercooler, cams, clutch, brakes and lines, de-cat straight through to Remus exhaust, ECU mapping, Abarth kit and conversion lights… that was a fun car! GREAT EPISODE!
Hey I just found yer channel. Love it! You don’t shy away from nuggets like this, you have a taste in cars! Great job, I’m following you now, all the best
Remember my first car Mk2 punto, all I did was lower 60mm on standard steel wheels, got rid of the rub strips and badges and fitted a K&N filter. The sound from the filter was incredible lift of throttle and you could hear it suck the air in. It was fast for what it was but think that came from handling rather than speed. Did learn what brake fade was in that car :-o
Yes Ricky mate, respect for not forgetting the "affordable" hot hatches. Love how this looks, but it is designed by pininfarina who do the best looking car's. Been looking at these for a while now as love the shape. Keep it up, another Italian hot hatch, Alfa you have to do one at some point.
I had a 1.4 t-jet and I put in the Abarth seats instead of the standard corbeau / sparco seats that he has - look far nicer and I doubt they’re THAT much heavier.. part from that, lovely motor
@@JSB24 hard to find tjet parts? Wtf .. Search mt elaborazioni maybe they do international shipping. This is the world of 1.4tjet and abarth in general
Abarth Grande Punto on the logbook. Only 570 in the UK from new Only 87 of them were Esse Esse's 180bhp upgrade from Fiat. Abarth Punto EVO Supersport Scorpione 180bhp special run of 10 cars for the UK!
Had an uno turbo mark 1 back in the day and had great fun in it, Plenty of dicing 5 gt turbo,205 gti those were the days,I would love my uno turbo now.
I think it's been said but I guess its how you derive the power and what the increase is.. If it's light and you dump what you can also surprising how the figures correlate.
Sleeper.. a lot of sports cars would pull up next to this thinking it's another boy racer and be pleasantly surprised when they ain't losing it off their tail.. nice
Ricky bro , please can u try and arrange a review of imrans f56 cooper s, its a quick wee car as standard but has a stage 1 tune with 290 bhp then an intercooler , exhaust, intake,sick wheels and a wave track diff i believe, id love to see this happen, awesome channel m8 j
What kind of mpg does it get? Are these tiny turbo engines all the manufacturers are turning out to dodge emissions regs actually more efficient in actual use than a decent na 2.0? Seems like they’d be more strained all the time.
dunno about upsetting S3, doubt it could pull on those. Lovely car though, would love to know how they stole it without damage.keep up the work Ricky your smashing it bro..... do you ever visit car meets?
If you look after the car you won't run into issues, i had the 1.9 Grande Punto running 200bhp and around 320lb torque had no issues kept it serviced regularly
The whole packege isnt cheap tho. Firts you need an abarth, thosoe can cost 5+K. Then you need a TD04 or at elast GT1446 turbocharger. Full exhaust, legal one costs even more, otherwise mostly straight piped. Injectors, LSD, complete suspension kit, remap and you should be good to go. Always wahted soemthing like this, but never ended up going for it. Engine is on the strong side
Can someone explain? If your car got nicked why wouldn't you want it back?
@New Forest Gump. True, I can definitely see where all of it's coming from now. I guess for some a car is more than a material good if they've spent so much time or effort into it.
@New Forest Gump. my dad crushed his Peugeot 106 cos it was seen driving along the pavements trying to run people over
If someone went and ripped your missus a new arsehole would you want her back?
@@LITTLEbigREG Bit of a stupid comparison. Unless you're also planning on trading your misses in for a new and improved one after doing the miles.

Rate how he shows different class whips
I felt he could have made a bit of effort for the occasion, perhaps wear some nice drip whilst he drives the whip.
He sure has cool whips
Who tf says whips
@@jubjub. like everyone
Ricky, from Lamborghini’s to Fiat Punto’s you cover all angles & classes of cars, LOVE for that!
Respect for showing love for the smaller horsepower cars still even tho you have acesss to the big tings now. These cars are why we all started watching man and so fun to rag about on uk roads. Wun sen.
The Grande Punto is one of the most underrated cars ever! Specially the Abarth. All of the Abarths are really good tho.
You can call it the Big Punto (ENG. translation)
@@Nickoboss29 yeah but why would you, a Jaguar is a Jaguar, not a Giaguaro.

Follow me on instagram @LivingLifeFast
240 BHP doesn't look much but with the power to
weight it's great. Love the sound from the exhaust and turbo whine. 👍
YESSS i have been waiting for this moment for so long! Finally a Abarth!
Love the underrated hot hatch videos
Keep it up Ricky, love the different type of cars you get on. Makes for a really varied content
Nice vid fella keep it up the variety it makes your channel worth watching
Love these little cars 😋 sound great too! 🔊 Sick video as always Ricky.
Hey I just found yer channel. Love it!
You don’t shy away from nuggets like this, you have a taste in cars! Great job, I’m following you now, all the best
Love your editing mate, I just wish it was as sunny around here 😂
Cars something different didn't know they did a abarth punto. Sounds good. Bless up Ricky and bless up the LLF fam ✌
Glad to see another attainable car on the channel... different too.
Real people, real cars and most importantly, *real life.* Respect 👊🏼
Another quality video Rick, nice work bro keep it going 🤜
Reality is you'd never be able to insure this as a 17 year old lad in the UK without a trust fund hahahaha
Just had a 18 year old lad buy mine all mods declared running 260bhp hes insurance wasn't that high
@@darylnewbury whats not that high?
nc7282 innit 🤣
darylnewbury not a chance he’s insured on that for less than 2500 minimum
To be fair they're getting old now. That might be a factor in the low insurance cost @@darylnewbury
Really like the way this sits, subtly flared arches look great, really tastefully done 👌🏼
Big Ups for showing the young pigney Love on your channel!!! Dallas,Texas
Your a badman rick covering all whips!
Not gonna lie was kinda nice to hear the old LLF theme at the start 😆 👌🏼

Guy puts his foot down...
Ricky licks lips... smile's to himself
And thinks...
you gotta do better than that to scare me bro... 🤣
Love that you’ve started bringing the ol’ LLF intro back in #phases
Good to see a punto on the channel :)

This new intro Ricky!!! Love it.
Used to dream about this car. So different to the normal and definitely a good looking car.
Punto's are my guilty pleasure! 💣✔️
I remember I used to smoke my mates fiesta rs turbo in my punto gt turbo but always had problems with it.
The old intro is back, love it!
Sounds so good👌
What a track weapon .... Top guy also 👊🏽
I had a 1.4 t-jet and I put in the Abarth seats instead of the standard corbeau / sparco seats that he has - look far nicer and I doubt they’re THAT much heavier.. part from that, lovely motor
where did you find the seats from mate? I got a t jet as well, wanna spice it up a bit but so hard to find parts
@@JSB24 hard to find tjet parts? Wtf ..
Search mt elaborazioni maybe they do international shipping. This is the world of 1.4tjet and abarth in general
Nice car mate, sounds lovely
Ngl I’m obsessed w these videos
That’s a cool car, very clean !
Really good looking little motor
"Is traction on? Can you turn it off?" haha, owners face drops :D
Absoulte loving the videos from all different classes would love for mine to be reviewed nice little classic
Ricky your channel should have refine option.. the amount of different cars jheeze my guy!!

I have one of the 10 😊 Fantastic car
Glad no issues had...i once had a fiat and i was victim of "fix it again tomorrow" strapline 🤣
Abarth made you smile Ricky brilliant
I like your camerawork
Looks really nice, sounds good and rare very nice
The first one's were quick too, and the Renault G5 turbo... haha
Keep up the good work Bro 😎😎
Had an uno turbo mark 1 back in the day and had great fun in it,
Plenty of dicing 5 gt turbo,205 gti those were the days,I would love my uno turbo now.
Small modified turbo cars are always fun
Wicked little car, impressive power and reliability from the little 1.4. not all about engine size
SICK !!!
Someone should make a ricky laughing complation
Yesssss, this is my first car xD. So good
This car looks sick I wanna pick it up for a daily xD
Im looking for a first car thanks Ricky
Our family had a grande punto no problems for 9 years...
Ricky you should have taken Charlie for a spin in the M4 to capture his reaction...maybe something you could add to future videos.
I think it's been said but I guess its how you derive the power and what the increase is.. If it's light and you dump what you can also surprising how the figures correlate.
23 heavy paper round this lad
1000th like! What a weapon some money gone into this
Your vids looking even better on my S10+ 😀
I was learning drivjng in school in normal Punto. Imagine learning in this!
Big power in small cars will always be the most fun in my opinion
Nice video
Car sounds fucking awesome
Sick car beats most cars but very underrated
Good video Ricky but you need to get better speakers as I notice that as in previous reviews, sound is muted bro !
Zero problems until Ricky turns the traction control off 😂
Shoutout to Team Abarth 🙌🏼🦂🇮🇹
this was my first car, expect it wasnt a abarthand it only had 77bhp lmao
Still sounded mad in that 1.2 😂😂
gorgeous car
I might take a punt on one of these. Cheers.
Straight on eBay looking at these 👍🏼 might buy one 😁
Sleeper.. a lot of sports cars would pull up next to this thinking it's another boy racer and be pleasantly surprised when they ain't losing it off their tail.. nice
RICKY - this or the 206 GTi big turbo that you put against the S4 etc a while ago? Thank you 🙏

The old intro 😆😆
Another crackin vid mate, luv the lads conversation and also nice to see a little car go like Fuck.
I bet that’ll put some bigger cars to shame 😂
my man ricky in the punto
1st car!!!...I had an old school mini 1000 as my 1st...must say though I've had several fiats and everyone was problematic
Sick whip that
Aint the biggest fan of fiats & abarths but this car looks pretty smart 👌
What kind of mpg does it get? Are these tiny turbo engines all the manufacturers are turning out to dodge emissions regs actually more efficient in actual use than a decent na 2.0? Seems like they’d be more strained all the time.
Can someone with a DC2 get in contact with Ricky please
Anyone know where to get the radio/entertainment system? Im getting a punto for my first car. Cheers
I had this car for a while I regret selling it.... undercover sleeper......
@@ThatCampingLad lol
Sick
dunno about upsetting S3, doubt it could pull on those. Lovely car though, would love to know how they stole it without damage.keep up the work Ricky your smashing it bro..... do you ever visit car meets?
It would pull an s3
The Audi is heavy but it wouldn’t pull one from a stand still
What infotainment system and exhaust is he using? I have an abarth myself and would love it to be look and sound like this😆😆
If you look after the car you won't run into issues, i had the 1.9 Grande Punto running 200bhp and around 320lb torque had no issues kept it serviced regularly
But the 1.9jtd have weak gearbox they blow up easy
@@jamesphilpott4241 if you service look after it not too bad, some people running over 300bhp on m32
His reaction at 10:57, Ricky He's surprised his car can go that fast
LLF 😎😎 like before you watch lol
I see the notification. I click simple.
👌🏾👌🏾
Any links to the stereo you have in this car if you can remember
Lol that’s not a bad car tbh, 240bhp and looks quite nice 👍

Modification list please? i wanna know the spacers
How do you get 240hp out of an 1.4 engine? Plezse explain so i can do the same with my punto evo 👍
iv always loved fiats! would love to have one of these
People always laugh about fiats, but they also build ferrari, so the people know how to build good cars
