Thread resurrection but thank you for this mate swapped my wheel over today for a second hand Momo one using a boss from DT. Have to say the only pig was trying to get the airbag plug out of the clock spring as it refused to budge; looked like it should but without it coming out it wouldn't have...

This does indeed work but recommend you do solder the capacitor in rather than using any connectors as the capacitor legs are so thin they just disconnect. Happily sailed through the MOT :)

Front and rear seats from a 2002 Puma Thunder. Driver's side has a few wear marks on the right bolster but no rips or tears and should clean up fine. Rear seats have a couple of dimples in the material where they were stored (visible in pics) but sitting on em should get rid of that. Also have...

I'm moving house soon, so in order to try and make some progress on the car before all my money gets spent on the new house, I've dropped a few quid on the Puma in the last few months before I take it to Bedford next month. Having initially sorted out the bushes and alignment, I switched my...

Yeah, I can only post the links, but I can't post them as images on the forum anymore. Cheers for info re imgur or Flickr, will switch over

Thanks mate, thought I'd post up to say cheers, and I found a local guy who welded a bar with captive nuts welded and the bar went in between the sill and centre tunnel, and bolted direct to the floor on the other end with spacers. Works well, and he also welded in a harness / strut bar in the...

Yeah I swapped from 260mm discs to ST150 calipers and discs a few weeks back. Easy conversion goes straight on, no issues at all and very positive pedal feel with braided hoses and better fluid. The biggest pig was getting the old hose retaining clips out!

Bit late in the day, but my Puma is a 2002 with the later 260mm discs. We did a track day at Combe in driving rain on them and they held up admirably, but I still always like to have the best stoppers I can, so I swapped a few weeks ago to Fiesta ST150 calipers, 280mm discs and Pagid pads, with...

Funnily enough I gave that company a buzz, but the prices weren't too competitive for the adjustable ride height version so decided to stick with the AP's. This decision was reinforced when I initially decided to go with the ST shocks and matched springs kit only to find that they, FK, and...

So it turns out that FK Silverline aren't made for Puma anymore. Waiting on a price for Weitec GT's from their U.K. Distributor, and also info on whether there are any recon Koni's in the U.K. If the price for the GT's is horrendous and there's no Koni alternative I'll be going AP's. See no...

However low you want, just buy a decent set of coilovers and wind them right down, but handling and ride will suffer if you go too OTT.

Thanks guys. Someone else also suggested I consider Koni Sport shocks with lowering springs, which seem like a good alternative with potentially less maintenance required than coilovers. Just trying to price it up now...

People on here and the FB owners groups often seem to complain that Floflex perish within a year or two due to the cheap materials so I didn't go that route, but I did replace both front lower arms with genuine Ford ones (include new bushes already pressed in) as 2 bushes had completely perished...

I'd just get a bar welded in and get a better seat mate. You sit much lower as a result and in turn that gives you more confidence and feel to the car. I had a length of roll cage welded between the two rear struts which doubles as the harness bar, then 4 point harnesses - the side ones can bolt...

Not interested in GMAX or TA Technix, I've heard horror stories. FK or AP coilovers seem like a good budget option, but prices seem to vary dramatically so thought I'd ask where all of you have been buying them from, how much it cost you and how you've found they perform on road and track. Also...

Jamie @ Moores Motors in Wokingham Unit 1/2 Redlake Lane, Easthampstead Road, Wokingham, Berkshire RG40 3BF Did the cambelt and welded in a harness bar and seat mounts for rails for my bucket seats. Jamie races Fiestas and Pumas so has some experience with the cars.

Hi all, thanks for all the recommendations and offers of assistance. I very nearly went with Steavie, but managed to find a local guy less than 2 miles away who races Pumas and Fiestas, and Steavie would have needed to travel (hats off to Steavie for offering though as his price was still...

Anyone at all? Spoke to a mate who does plenty of metal working and he reckoned the shape meant that the easiest option would be to fabricate a bespoke subframe that sits behind the bracing bar that goes across the middle of the car (the annoying ridge in the floor which means most seats sit so...

You have a PM Steavie cheers
