Cheers pal I'll join up and ask later on 8-)

OK so has anyone dropped a 1.7 puma lump into a mk6 fiesta yet for track use? I understand the common response will be just go with the st150/170 but Its not an option to go with a 2.0 in my formula (oval hotrods) Plus the other reasons the st lumps are a lot heavier and create massive...

OK guys so I've fitted the 1.25 fiesta tensioner and removed the AC and pas from the aux drive. But when I unbolted the AC pump to remove it just won't move what so ever I don't need to save it so it's been hit with a hammer hard as I can and nothing. Can anyone help me out am I missing...

Thanks a lot guys parts ordered cheap enough :) Is the tensioner easily changeable with the engine in ? Thanks Gary

OK guys so I'll try to describe best I can. I drive a ford puma in my local oval hot rods in my last race I lost my aux belt and I appear to have lost the pulley from my PAS pump so the same belt no longer fit's It was an A/C model I believe system is no longer functional but pulley/compressor...
