Morning,
Thought I would stop in & say hello. Me & a mate have just bought a 2001 puma with the intention of turning it into a track toy. (everyday car was getting too abused). Only 70K miles & in tidy condition.
After just driving it around for a bit I love the little thing already. looks & sounds good but importantly it feels great.
Im sure ill be on here a fair bit trying to understand what we have just done wrong & why we have so many bolts left over!!
To Do list is getting longer everytime I get 5mins away from work....
Strip out interior
New seats
New steering wheel
Oil/ oil filter/ air filter/ spark plugs
New Engine mounts, Gearbox mount & torque restrictor?
New 15" Wheels & sticky Tyres
Uprated brake calipers (focus/ fiesta ST?)
Larger brake discs (300mm??)
Disc conversion to the rear (fiesta ST?)
Yellow stuff brake pads (on my BMW & love them)
Braided hoses
Lower suspension (max sensible drop?)
Wheel spacers 20mm rear/ 15mm front & extended bolts?
Front Upper & lower strut brace
Any advise on anything above or other priorities would be much appreciated...
Cheers
