[jonyb4]

good gosh where did they come from?!

i love it mate your being very fresh and original with it, my mate had a 1.7 for years and never done anything meanwhile to it


so how did they come about? thought you were happy with the fiesta? everyone loved that car lol

whats going to happen to it now?


dont pumas handle great?! didnt drop much though did it?



shall watch this

[mada01]

fiesta developed an electrical fault, insurance on it became a joke, then this beauty poped up for £600 so i snapped it up!

the fiesta is currently on my drive, with no interior, no rear windows, no brakes, no wheels, no front end, bonnet, or wings haha.sold the whole front end to my mate who i then helped change his mk4 to a mk5, looks really good now. so it will still kind of live on.

hopefully getting coilovers for the puma very soon, then need to fit wishbones, and front brakes and will be looking at getting a rolling road to see what shes putting out, and maybe a remap, we will see tho!

[hb69]

Puma looks great mate. Always liked your mk5, so its a shame about that.

You going to be at fitp again this year?

[dontpannic]

Love it Ad, very well done!

[Tweek]

Purple mk5 was one of my favourites

[Dave G fsi]

Love it, nice one

[Stemh]

Looks good! and goes well too! so what's next on it apart from the remap..??

[mada01]

cheers guys

tweek i kinda do miss my mk5, ill dig out some pictures of it later for you

on other news the car will be at fitp, just need to decied who to go with, might come with you guys instead

[mada01]

Looks good! and goes well too! so what's next on it apart from the remap..??

coilovers

and will have to do brakes and wishbones before fitp you up for driving down early sunday morning?

[jonyb4]

project puma always gets a good turn out, but like ZSOC's stand, 1 puma in a patch full of them hardly stands out, for getting attention sake you'd be better off with this club

[Stemh]

yeah, thats what i usually do anyway. Let us know when you want the wishbones and brakes doing. Can't do it this weekend, but I think i can next weekend if you want.

[Stemh]

just realised how small those front brakes look behind your wheels need to get them changed soon!

[hb69]

Go on the ft stand, would've thought it would be the only puma on there

[mada01]

i shall buy my ticket tomorrow then!

[hb69]

Good man Adam

[rsturbonutter]

Can you confirm for me mate that the puma rear beam is a direct swop for the zetec s beam. I am having a bit of trouble locating a fiesta beam which isn't the other side of the country and it seems that the puma is everywhere. Cheers Julien

[jonyb4]

1998 saw a change in the mk4/puma beam

where the shock bottom mounts in the beam

earlier mk4 and puma ones were fit like a fork design, after that they went back to how the mk3 was, a round bush set up, thats how you can fit a zetec s beam to a mk3

so any puma on a S plate or later will have the same beam as the late mk4 and all mk5 fiesta's

careful though some S reg pumas may still have the fork beam, best off seing a picture of the beam

[rsturbonutter]

Nice 1 for that jon boy will get onto the ebay now and find a breaker. cheers fella

[jonyb4]

[rsturbonutter]

Is this the correct one jon
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-PUMA-REA ... 534wt_1089
it looks like it is

[jonyb4]

no thats the fork type

and SEVERLY over priced!


look behind the drums, you can see its solid, and houses a bush

the mk3 and later mk4/5 one will have a cut out and no bush, the bush is fitted to the damper itself


next time you under your RS have a look at its beam you will see what i mean, big hole for the shock to sit in

[rsturbonutter]

yeah i know what you mean jon

[mada01]

my puma came fitted with a eye mount rear beam but swapped it for a fork mount one so i could keep my old suspension.

if the car has digitial dials then it will have eye mount rear beam which is what you need

hopefully buying some coilovers this weekend

[jonyb4]

aye they introduced the digital dial in very late 1998


what make are the coilovers ?

[mada01]

no idea on the make haha, think its one of the cheap german sets of ebay normaly like £375 managed to get a set that are 3 month old for £220 posted.

took car out for a drive to the shops before and i love the seats so much!!! sit slightly lower than standard seats and hold you in a lot more. feels like im sat on a sofa too they are that comfy!

[Maxwell]

Lovely Puma you have there mate!!

[Minstral]

cossie alloys and coilovers, would look awesome
