woah, brought the old girl home, she moves like a scalded cat from 4000 to 6000 rpm, not taken her over 120 yet but she is pretty damn quick in fifth...not eveb tried to hit the throttle flat in any other gear as of yet...got to get the CV joint done and sort those blasted Gaz coilovers, I...

going to be a nice day to collect the old girl..371 bhp will be fun to play with...

no will collect it tomorrow now, cant wait...need some nice warm weather...

yes going to collect it today, and take the 220 engine back...needs a rebuild...but she is going to be fun, cv joint gone but chris will do that for me...I will get her on the road and have a play...may have to bring it to you chris to have the brakes properly set up...she needs to be tip top...

tis the way of the world, they are now old cars and only loved by us loons and collectors...they are in the no one is interested phase...they will come back i am sure but give it 10 years or so...

it is a bit too much really Chris, but I just wanted to do it...and the latest dyno figures are 370 bhp. To be honest she is quick enough with 220 bhp in the n/a car, that simply flys along when on song but is totally driveable when not, the turbo cars power starts at around 3000 and builds...

the misfire on n/a was caused by a leak in the cab running water onto the new ecu, we have dried it out and sealed it up so it cant happen again and all seems fine, although there are some programming issues that may need attending to. will take it to chris and let him see what he can do...

okay will try to post some asap...they are always in a state of change and are awaiting painting but will get some..

Okay, so I have a roll cage for puma number 3. this is getting the mild 250 bhp engine and will be a light weight track day car. fibreglass bonnet and boot lid, that should save me at least 50kg's and a very strong rear spoiler...she will be road legal... and finally I have decided to put the...

my experience is that its the coil pack or plugs...mine is doing the same now and has just turned into a proper misfire now...but my engine is a tad different to yours...

okay engine mounts failed and now getting a bit of a misfire, likely a plug or coil pack...so planning on coming off the road for winter at the end of the month and then will take out the engine send her off for a respray and tidy up, replace as much of the interior as can do and fit a new radio...

yes got it simon...

nothing arrived Simon...

I am back to having that stupid grin on my face...I have completely forgotten why i enjoy these cars so damn much...I have a lovely old lotus esprit S4s, and whilst that is a massively quick car and can corner as if it truly is on rails, it relies on extremely low body weight and width, massive...

Hey guys sorry, broke my leg and have been disabled for an age...still supposed to be wearing this bloody great boot but am walking in a smaller support thing now and all goodish... okay let me get started... the main power is coming in from about 3200-3300, but I am still playing with her to...

hey simon yes interested in what you have...

yeh 200 mph is man speak for its too high geared...to do 200 mph I think you would need close to 550 bhp....my 320 bhp car was good for a very fast 140 and no doubt with the right gearing would have gone a lot more but top speed is not what i am after... I need acceleration in the midrange...

I must get out again with the new frp....with its 220 bhp and smooth handling and great brakes and just about 1 ton in weight she should move quite quickly I would think...

Okay after spending a fortune and leaving my car with chris forever, I now have it back... mouldy having been left outside for the past year, but she will clean up... engine is great, too noisy though and will have to reduce that, i don't like noisy cars. I have a drive shaft vibration, that...

bad news, dyno and new manifold worse than old manifold, so we are going to go for a bigger bore manifold, a GTX turbo, will then fit the old manifold and turbo to the third puma where 300 bhp will be enough. Its a big job getting the engine to 350/360 bhp and maintaining...
