    Vehicle For Sale 2000 Puma (hillclimb/sprint/rally/trackday car)

    Finally got around to sorting some proper pictures. I do have a video but apparently it’s too large to upload. If you’re interested send me a message and I’ll send it to you directly

    Vehicle For Sale 2000 Puma (hillclimb/sprint/rally/trackday car)

    Thank you, it’s a tricky thing to price being modified. The previous owner had a body shop, he bought it as a pretty clean example, did a couple of small repairs while building the car. The whole thing is undersealed and is only ever really driven in the summer. Correct, it’s Wiscombe. PB of...

    Vehicle For Sale 2000 Puma (hillclimb/sprint/rally/trackday car)

    Reluctantly putting my hillclimb car up for sale as I’ve been offered something else that’s too good to turn down. I’ve owned the car for about 18 months, used it just for competition (and travelling to/from events). It is still fully road legal, MOT until April- reg is X609YPR for anyone...

    Vehicle Wanted Looking for a Puma to take rallying! (Any model/variant)

    My hillclimb car may well be up for sale soon, welded in full cage, fair bit of lightening done I can send you the full spec if your interested… I’d be looking nearer £2500 if I could keep my seat and harness. But you could make a fair bit of that back selling the coilovers and tyres that are on...

    Vehicle Wanted Looking for a Puma to take rallying! (Any model/variant)

    Would you consider upping the budget for something already caged?

    Spotted FRP Exeter

    Last Friday driving into Exeter, going past the Middlemoor roundabout. Had a private reg I think in some way relating to FRP? It was my birthday so a nice little treat to see one on the road, despite then throughly boring my passengers with it.

    Mystery engine (looking for help)

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I took the exhaust cam out and measured the lobes on the inlet, which measured as standard. I’m not too disheartened, it was very cheap, even for a standard engine so gives me a nice supply of spares

    Mystery engine (looking for help)

    I picked up and engine last night, it was very cheap with a gearbox and was meant to have kent cams in it… I’ve just been have a quick look over it and I’m fairly sure the cams are standard; the could be reground I guess I can measure them? What did stick out though is the injectors… I’m sure...

    RPM wobble and stuck high

    My car does something very similar when rolling and definitely idles strangely when it’s up to temp (haven’t tried coasting in neutral at any speed). I’m yet to attempt to investigate what it is… Mine dips/hunts slightly at first then rises. I’m assuming it’s probably ICV/vacuum related

    First Hillclimb Events

    Just thought I’d share a couple of snaps from my first event last weekend at Wiscombe Park and a quick video I found from this weekend at Werrington.

    Cylinder heads

    I could definitely be interested over the winter!

    Bucket seat question

    MSA blue book also gives this info. If you’re getting a cage put in, wrapping the harness around the harness bar is probably the easiest thing to do, plus it saves weight (about 5 grams, but weight nonetheless)

    Hi Everyone

    Oh nice, I’m in Sidmouth too! Ah tell me about it, I’ve currently got 6 cars (all of which need work in some way) and an old Yamaha sr125 sat in the garage with me still wondering why I bought it in the first place

    Hi Everyone

    I was using my Ka last year, only actually made it to one event and then my alternator packed up on the Saturday so never made the Sunday 😅 I know of two pumas that were being used last year, a black one and one in a gulf livery? Are you fairly local then?

    Hi Everyone

    I know, having lost my previous Ka to tin worm, you’d think I would’ve learned! But previous owner had a car restoration business, so sorted out some small patches while installing the cage and it’s been kept indoors ever since. Mainly around the southwest… Wiscombe at the end of April and a...

    Hi Everyone

    Hi all, I’ve owned my puma since December. It’s being used for some hillclimb racing, I purchased it already sorted with a cage, seats, harnesses, coilovers and a few other bits and pieces. Fortunately there’s no signs of rust and has only done around 48k miles. I’ll try and get a picture or...

    Bucket seat question

    I’ve got a base mount with rails from my old KA sat in the garage… I think they’re the same fitting? Also, regards the cage, if you’re building a targa car and need to keep the door cards in place, don’t put door bars in, or get ones that kink around them because it’s a nightmare otherwise!
