If you’re building a dedicated track/rally car then get a good cage. I’ve got a jc cages item in my fiesta which is really good for a “bolt in”. Depending how tall you are depends on how you want the seats mounted. I’m a little over 6 foot so wanted to be low. I got some proper weld in seat...

Sorry for the slow reply. St180 gearbox mount bolts up on the mk4/mk5 fiesta so should be the same for the Puma. You’ll need to space the gearbox down to level the driveshafts etc off.

Would things such as standalone ecus be classed as a defeat device as it does in the states.

I’m running the st180 engine and gearbox in my fiesta and this thread has been useful as to how I can fix the speedo etc. Thanks. Top work and the car looks great

I have this issue on my track car, it’s quite scary when the rears lock up as it throws the whole car sideways. You’ll have to factor in a proportioning valve too.

How can you identify what cams are fitted to a 1.7. When I bought my car I was told that the cams have been updated but I’m not convinced. I was told to measure the lobes although this proved to be tricky, does the below sound right? Intake cam 11.8mm / 37.8mm Exhaust cam 11.9mm / 37mm...

Cheers for the reply, that might make sense as I think the previous owner fitted a 1.6 box when they added an rst lsd. The car was meant to be cammed and mapped too but it was much the same speed as my standard Puma was so not so sure. May send off for an frp map, these disable the torque...

I’ve just bought a puma’d zetec s which has supposedly had a remap at some point. The car feels good from second through fifth but is woefully under powered in first. I know the standard cars are limited in first and second but this is more noticeable than my Puma which is stock. Has anyone...

Thanks for the link, I’ve been looking over that thread already, proper build :) I’m currently thinking I’ll get coilovers, front lower brace, rear axle spacers and a more supportive seat. The car also seems to want to boil over if pushed hard within a few laps which isn’t ideal and needs...

Hi all Have owned a 1.7 for a little over a year now, originally bought it as an mot failure to use as a cheap daily but those duties soon got replaced by a mondeo estate. I took the puma on track at Pembrey last weekend and I’m now hooked. For a standard car it handles great and although it’s...
