This has got to be without a doubt, the best looking puma i have seen. Love it. I even like the bodykit, spoiler and bonnet scoop which is weird for me to say. Love the new 17's on it. I dont think it should be lowered now. The higher ride height gives it that rally look.

Thank you Paul, and it is strange... whenever car manufacturers bring out a new range... there is always bound to be some disgusting colours and some very obvious choice colours left out.... Do they have GOK in their design department...?

i think you might mean air/fuel gauge and fuel pressure regulator.
Your car does look good, if you are putting the battery in the boot, then may i suggest making a side mount turbo manifold, its really tight behind the engine, and you should see better results with longer primaries. Then you dont have to worry about the turbofouling the block, or fouling the driveshaft.
Its just an idea as thats the route im going with mine.
The frozen white does look mint, and stock too.

Yeah that was may thought... getting rid of the battery to the boot will free up some good space for mounting things.

Had the car on the Rolling Road today...... I don't know why but I am quite disappointed with the result.........
Apparently its also running very lean....... how do i sort that? new map on the ECU?
I am with out a doubt... putting that turbo on......

It's not always about peak BHP figures, it's a good curve, and faifly consistant torque, you could have a pesky map, running about 160bhp, but it has no power low or mid range, yours shows it has very usable power! Put that against a 200bhp civic type r on a track, & you might be pleasantly suprised!!
Shame about the weather, but at least you had your car to keep you dry, worst case scenario, your car would have blown up on the rollers, and you'd be waiting at the bus stop, looking like a pollock in your shorts!!!

Was going to do some work on the rally one, but the weather decided to ruin that. Still need some logistics to sort out for it before i can really start the work on it.
I did get an alternator to get the engine running, but as i do... i pulled it apart to clean it... and cant get it back together.... thats just typically me....lol
