Good afternoon.
Just got myself a cheap 1.7 puma today. Using it to go and play at autosolos while I’m building my kit car.
I don’t want to spend much money on the car but anything I can do that’s relatively cheap or free I’ll be doing.
The car is a Y reg and has some sort of aftermarket fiesta exhaust on it.
Plans so far are:
Remove rear seats (it’s all about the lightening.
Fit a bucket seat that I have from my old hillclimb/sprint car.
Remove the resonator from the air box
Change the oil, clean the plugs, hoover out the air filter
Potentially weld a steel bar between the rear strut towers (pikey rear brace) (will look to see if I can do similar at the front.)
Little things I need to fix:
Reverse light switch needs replaced (ordered)
ABS/Traction control sensor needs replaced (ordered)
I’ve had cars before where I’ve literally upgraded the anti-roll bar and swapped the springs and it’s lead to a very compliant little car. Do you think similar mods work on the puma?
Based in Livingston/Scotland
Cheers
