new whip

finally after like 3 years of drivin i have a nice car!!!! its a 1998 ford puma 1.7. pretty nippy, and handles pretty good unlike all my old boats lol.

[lincolnRS2]

Nice 1 mate thats what my misis wants a Puma

[jttwinners]

been lookin at some mode to do to it already. just to make it look a bit more sporty. quite like a few bits on the racing puma. anyone got suggestions?????


this is pretty much what i want....

[lincolnRS2]

Yes I sugest if you like the racing puma mate your better off buying 1 cause to make yours look like that will cost as much as the real thing
Ie the interior's are expensive and hard to find + all the fat arches are steel arches and the wide track comes from unique suspension made for the racing pumas

[jttwinners]

yeah i been lookin into it a lot recently. not gonna bother with the arches, quite fancy the carbon fibre front splitter tho, and the interior is about a grand so gonna give that 1 a miss too. might go for some racin puma door cars tho and then some cheaper blue buckets. also been lookin for a full stainless system for it and then wanna lower it a bit. whats everyones opinions on spoilers?

[lincolnRS2]

Ford themselves did a nice spoiler for the puma matey

Think some of the racing pumas had em from the factory

If your gona fit the carbon splitter mate don't buy a racing puma 1 as it'll need loads chopping of it to fit as the bumpers are alot wider than the standard puma

I think you should drop it on coil overs stick some 17-18s on it with a nice spoiler and stainless zorst and filter job done

[jttwinners]

yeah thats pretty much what i was thinkin. nice set of 17's, lowered a bit, nice spoiler, already got an air filter 4 it, lookin at stainless zorsts on fleabay.

and found a company who makes aftermarket splitters, not carbon fibre but still looks good. plus i need 2 do some kind of brake upgrade cos it dont like brakin from 100mph to 0 too hard. lol

[jttwinners]

how tight???

[xr stuart]

looks allright mate nice tidy motor

[lincolnRS2]

They standard brakes mate

[jttwinners]

nope their 300mm mk3 mondeo brakes squeezed (and i really do mean squeezed) under standard 15" wheels! was a challenge but looks cool

[lincolnRS2]

Did the Calipers bolt straight on JT and I thought all mondeo mk3's were 5 stud
St170's have 300mm discs and are 4 stud
Looks like the sort of conversion I need on the RS2 was it easy to do

[jttwinners]

well yeah the calipers are mk3 mondeo, discs are focus st170, then mondeo pads obviously and mondeo caliper carriers.


then to fit them you need to drill the holes on your hub out to 12mm. then it will all just bolt up. its so easy!!!

[lincolnRS2]

Wicked conversion and so cheap I'm on it

[jttwinners]

well i knew this car was all goin too well. i broke it!!




the clutch slave cylinder decided to drop its guts all over the floor so had to strip it all down and replace it, along with a new clutch too for good measure. gearboxes aint really a 1 man job, especially when u drop it on ya and u cant move lol but she's all done now just gotta put the drive shaft back.

[lincolnRS2]

Fucking fords

[jttwinners]

its not lookin good, got me new drive shaft and fitted it but then drove it 5 miles up the road and back again and now the box is makin some awful whirring noises. assuming its gonna go pop soon so looks like new box now too.


either that or rally it lol, its soundin temptin!!!!

[lincolnRS2]

Cane it till it goes bang

[jttwinners]

lol its up 4 sale now!!!
