Unique to the Puma...and never seen from the factory on an Escort back in the day like the later multi spokes.Just a pity you need spacers to get good brakes under them!!

Has anyone heard from Artful hussey? She's stopped replying to PMs about the above.

Water leaks can be sooo time consuming to sort.From a mechanics point of view ,you dread getting a water leak job as stripping enough stuff out of the way to diagnose it is difficult to charge for...

Surely the forum has shown them more than 10 potential buyers before now???

I can think of a few local MOT testers that can't even spell 'Type approval' let alone enforce it!!😂😉

Ok..So As I'm a mech by trade I'd get a bit techi and test the O2 sensor output voltage. Either via a scanner/code reader that's live data capable, or by a digital multi meter back probing the sensor multiplug and picking up the sensors output voltage.Your looking for a contantly altering...

As above.Your Puma's running rich. My old track car ran a closed loop idle control system without a cat showed 1.5% CO at idle with the Single O2 sensor switching between 0.2-0.9v...This is what your aiming for so the cat can operate. Your cat may likely recover once you sort that.

I got a set of propellors overhauled by my local wheel reconditioner.He just sprayed the centre caps in the same OE silver.2 years later they still look like new.

Oh look at that....:D! Surely welding in metal underneath the crossbeam (reducing torsional twist has the same affect though?

No...In a word. Similar in principle but thats about it. Someone here fitted a MK6 rear roll bar to the puma but I wasn't convinced it would work with regards optimal mounting points Puma is same as a fiesta 4(Oval face and facelift) but has different, damper rates ,stiffer front roll bar...

I'd have thought your best option would be to turbocharge the 1.4 to get it to 1.7 torque levels.

Indeed....

I was there...Counted 7 Pumas in total...Really surprised as expected to see at least more than one Racing Puma...

Whose doing these at the moment? I thought it was 'Roomy' but no reply from Hanna

Still doing these? 210mm...Navy blue...internal stickers...pair of??
