FRP replica

Hi, I'm curently running a projekt tread over on puma people, but I thought I might get one on here to so here goes

this is currently just some coppy paste, as I'm at work stil

So, I finaly got around to geting a Puma again now I can finaly do all the tings I wanted to with the last one, but couldn't afford.

Car is a Jewel green 98 1.7 done 217.000 KM kost me 12.400 Nok, aprox £1300. Ok shape, little rust, good engien, and good running gear. all the shox are busted, clutch is on its last tread, front lights are faded, and the rear lights hawe smal craks, so they leak. front right wing has one medium dent, and some rust at the bottom. and a smal dent in the profile of the tailgate spoiler.

the people who had it before had tryed to fix som rust in the wheel arches, not only had they done a piss pour job, but they had also used the wrong color to paint it after, not only the wrong shade of green, but they had used blue looked like shit. luckaly they were idiots, so it was easy to wash off again

my plan is to build an FRP replica as close to the original as possible, but improwe where possible. Ie. Ice, weight reduction, power if possible.

Had it on the dyno again today unfortuanatly it is werry werry hot today, so we actualy prodused less bhp then the last time, however the graf showd a different storry, it is consistanly bedåtter than the last time and he said that if we corrected for the temperature, the end result is that it is produsing more bhp now than it did. Sadly, he forgott tel me just how much :/ oh well

Hs anyone here had a standard frå dynod? If so, what was the wheel hp ?

Hi guys, feeling a little down today, /> had a major set back. You may remember me saying that I messed up on e stripes and had to order new once? Ok so today I tryed to fiks the problem, started to remove the old stripe, only to actualy pull off a pice of the paint, luckaly only under the stripe, but :comp:/> :rant:/> :head:/> oh, my heart sank.... /> oh wel, atleast the stripe wil cover it right? Got the new stripe out of the box, turns out it's not the same, it's the same color, and has an st on it, but is narwer, and shorter, turns out it's for the fiesta... :head:/> oh wel, cant be that bad... I actualy manage to cover the spot where the paint pealed off. But the st is now at the back instead of the front.. And I't just doesnt look right... What do you think?
