This happened a few months ago.. My friend has a 98 Mondeo, which has quite similar looking keys as my Puma had. He once accidentally tried using the Puma keys on his Mondeo, and quite surprisingly, he actually managed to unlock the doors and turn on electricity with it! He didn't manage to...

Weeeelll... Got myself a Honda Civic Sport, 2006 model. 140 bhp, does 0-60 in 8.6 seconds or so, so it might beat a 1.7 Puma ;) I really like the looks, especially the interior which is full of digital displays and very well designed controls. I like the handling as well, accurate and feels...

Saw the 300ZX today. Needs plates and a complete checkup to be sure it's in working condition. Guy doesn't seem to want to get rid of it very much. On the other hand, I got a 2008 Seat Ibiza Cupra to test-drive for today from a Seat dealership. 1.8 liter turbocharged engine, 180 bhp, car weighs...

Heh, it is indeed. A 150bhp Fiesta ST is the most powerful thing I've driven so far.

Nice try, though I have been wondering about that as I've heard it before :D Guess we'll find out!

So I was thinking of getting a 1992 Nissan 300ZX Twinturbo with Targa roof. They're kinda expensive here in Finland, unlike in the UK (like 8500 GBP).. but nevertheless, I've always loved the looks and now there's one on sale nearby. Might go do a test drive of the car tomorrow, and after that...

Post necromancy, I know, but... I've installed the new Windows 7 Release Candidate, which is available for free from MS, on my PC and am using it as primary OS on my desktop. I have to say it's very good. It is available here. About 3GB download, though goes pretty fast if you have the...

Alright, will have to go looking for a shop then =) I'm located in Oulu, Finland - any recommendations are most welcome, although I wouldn't be surprised if Oulu is outside the knowledge of even bigger foreign organizations ;)

Due to a previous owner's mishap, the front bumper in my Puma is a bit loose on the other side. Not really noticeable but it would be nice if it wasn't noticeable at all =) Anyway, I managed to get a peek at why the bumper was loose: the part of it which connected it to the car was broken...

I'm curious what kind of an effect chipping an 1.4 would have... Would be fun to have even a bit more power ;)

I don't think it went up there even in the summer :? Thanks guys, I guess it could be the thermostat then. Not sure if I have the tools to switch it tho, so might have to take it to the dealer. Doesn't seem like a biggie so they can't rip me off too badly :lol:

Well grabbed some coolant from a gas station and topped the tank up to the max marker. Seems to have helped a bit! Thanks I am wondering, though, how hot is the air supposed to get? In another car it got literally hot if you maxed the temp. In my Puma it gets to okay'ish temp (ie. can't say...

Wow, I'd expect the car to run hot without enough coolant. Thanks, I'll have to check it, though I'm somewhat sure that there should be enough.

I've been wondering if there was a way to make the car warm up a bit faster. It gets pretty cold here sometimes, and my friend said it might be possible to tune the thermostat so that it lets the car warm up faster. Any ideas on this? I found that the thermostat is apparently located behind the...

Well I have these big holes in the rims and they were literally full of snow =)
