Now sold via one of the rally pages on facebook, it looks like club motorsport will save most of the Pumas from extinction, fingers crossed

1999 Puma 1.4 Lux in Melina Blue An honest appeal to the Puma community to save this car from the scrapper. The forum rules ask for a price so lets say around £250? I am hoping somebody takes this on, in a few years time this will be the sort of car that people hope to find in a barn and...

Hi I have put my 1.4 Melina Blue up for saving in the for sale section, please have a look at the ad and pass it around, I think its worth saving...aren't they all? cheers Alan

Thanks to Ian, all sorted, great service.

Anyone have one? cheers Alan

Going to its new home at the weekend, on extended loan, so if its still worth a bit of time I can get it back, took £150 to get it recommisioned inc the test fee.

Hi just keep adding things I had forgotten about! Just putting the feelers out because I want our Puma to at least have a chance of an extended life. It’s a 99 1.4 Melina Blue on a T plate, we got her from the original owner in January 2010. She was my wifes daily driver up until 2014. We...

Ah cheers, any obvious thing I should look for to tell me which is which? I am guessing if it has an LCD readout for the onboard trip then its digital, which is what I have.

I have just bought a Brantz int 2 tripmeter for the Puma, its a 99 1.4. Anyone any ideas on the best way to drive this, theres two options, a wheel sensor, which I would normally use, but as it has drums on the back, thats not really feasible. The easier option is a speedo sensor drive, now...

just going off Vipers post above? not being contentious, just want to make sure its worth my while getting one

I am interested in one of these, anyone used one? but also is getting one delivered an issue?

I can vouch that the props are much heavier than the 9 spokes, but much lighter than the steel wheels, they weigh a ton! that mass my well be stronger but then you put more stress on your suspension, steel wheels can often have the dents beaten out of course!

just to jump in and give a bit of perspective as I am a bit old and was around when the road rally rules changed, basically what you had was full group 4 rally cars racing around the lanes with very few restrictions, almost slick shod tarmac works cars, it was very very hairy, loud, bright (lots...

Was there any resolution to this?

Heres a question for those that have done it, IF you use the original subframes or the originl mounting holes with tailor made subframes, do you find your new seats to be generally lower than original? I ask as in my 99 1.4 I feel like I am sat on the car rather than in it on standard seats and...

Darlington, so yeah not too far, Durham Dales, Yeah we did, didn't do too well, it was only my wifes second event and she has no motorsport background so its a steep learning curve and I have never been great at complex tests, but was a good event, second time I have done it. Strut brace is of...

yeah did a couple of events last season, one on one of the hottest days of the year, the crew of the chevette that was running in front of us nearly had to pull out with heat exhaustion....we just put the aircon on! was arriving at cones sooo much quicker than my brain was used to and sooo much...

Thanks for the input lads, was that any specific courier model or are they all the same? This is going to have to be a longer term project than I first thought due to finances slowing down, had hoped to have changed the seats by now (way too high for me) so info like this is really helpful...

I am looking for a cheap way to toughen my Pumas front end, I do Targa rallys in it and break a front spring almost every event. Most uprated kits lower the car, I actually would like a bit more clearance. A fellow competitor has fitted diesel fiesta front suspension, but was unsure of the...

I didn't relaise the Puma had a buzzer, ours is a 1.4 T reg and wifey has killed the battery 3 times in the last year leaving the candles in jam jars on! So I look for a blown fuse then eh?
