Few Different Upgrades 1.7 Puma

[Ryant2711]

Hi folks,

Been looking but couldn't really find what I was really looking for so here's goes..

Has anyone ever updated there Radiator as in an Alloy Radiator before, if so what radiator and modifications did you need to do!? I looked at the 1.7 rad and its Very Very similar to a S2 RS Turbo Escort rad but there just larger, so surely is would be a tight squeeze but would it fit?

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=220965615524&alt=web" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Moving on lol, has anyone uprated there ARB,s as in use a White Line ARB!?

Thanks
Ryan

As for Radiator, the S1600 pumas use a mk1/2 mondeo auto radiator, this is the same dimensions as the puma rad but thicker cored. Also it has a built in oil cooler usually for the auto box but in the S1600 it's used for the power steering.
Another alternative is to use a mk3 astra 1.7td rad, similar dimensions again but a lot thicker, requires the top mounting holes modifying though but works well.

whiteline fiesta st150 rear ARB fits. The drop link angle isnt ideal as standard but you can change that by swapping to a longer bit of angle iron they give you that bolts on the rear beam.

is that ARB for front or back ?

Both posters and the link, mention it being the rear ARB.
so I`d go with that..

Does the puma need a rear ARB, what with it's twist beam? I though it sort of did the job already?

It is called a twist beam, and it does!
On a road car this is good.But when its getting pushed to the limit on track, stiffer is better..
Some people weld a plate the length of the beam. This ARB does a similar thing.
