Hi guys im Ben.
After driving an mg zr around the country for the last year or so i decided enough was enough and i needed a nicer car that was still sporty, economical and nice to look at, but still cheap to insure.
I decided upon a Puma.
Its taken a few months to sell my car and find a puma i was willing to buy.
The one i have decided to buy is black with a decent ish set of alloys and 100k miles.
I have taken her for a 5 minute test drive in which i almost managed to red line her, the conclusion i came to was that the zetec se engine is much nicer to drive than the k series engine im used to.
When taking it for a test drive i noticed the following problems.
The speedo doesn't work,
The back arches have quite a bit of rust
after driving a lowered mg around it feels like im sat on a trampoline while someone is bouncing on it.
apart from these problems, for what i have payed for the car, Ive got a steal.
im a student and have limited funds, what would be the most cost effective way of fixing the faults and, the car needs to be lowered, whats the cheapest way of dropping the car about 40mm. My mg just had springs and no other suspension mods, is this an option for the puma?
I love driving her an i expect to be on here a lot more from now on!
Il take some pics when i pick her up tomorrow.
