    Puma replacement..harder than you think.

    If you had to replace your puma with a more modern car, with similar performance..what would it be? I bought mine 3 years ago in almost perfect condition for £2000 with 29k on the clock. Unfortunatly.the change from the city to the country has taken its toll on the bodywork,although the engine...

    Fitted st150 callipers...easy as it gets.

    Managed to get a full set of disks,pads and calipers from a Fiesta ST150 from ebay for £80. Its literally a hours job to swop the brakes over,as the carriers match right up to the hubs with no messing around..2 bolts,done. A quick bleed of the brakes,and a massive improvement in braking force...
