Up for sale is my beloved Puma track project that I unfortunately no longer have the time or space to commit to finishing. The car is a 1.4 Lux, with the heated windscreen and A/C, with around 101000 on the clock (I can’t remember exactly but it’s in that region). Ive added a 6 CD changer...

I’m in the process of swapping my 1.4 to a 1.7 engine, and I have all the required parts / knowhow except for one area - the loom. I know they are different as the 1.7 has VCT, but what I want to know is if the 1.4 loom can be modified to wire in the VCT or will I need a complete 1.7 loom? The...

As in the title I need to find out the Ford part number for the standard size bolts for the rear hubs, as I'm currently running 30mm spacers with suitable bolts but want to go back to standard. Does anybody know the number, or at least the length of the bolts, as I know they are M10x1.5 high...

As the title says, i've come across a Facebook group called Stockport Car Cruise https://www.facebook.com/groups/1216213038393335/ They do a meet virtually every night, with the big, full attendance one every Thursday. I pass by the car park in question on my way to band practice (hence I...

I'm looking at buying a donor car to scavenge a 1.7 engine for my car. It's going to be a track car so won't have a catalytic converter, so I'm using an ECU from an early (single lambda) car, but need the engine and loom from the donor. As for the engine I know they're basically the same and it...

Seen yesterday (Sunday 18th) in Altrincham, I was behind you from Cresta Court and overtook by the Hare and Hounds. Looked very tidy and up close the tiger stripes (which I liked more than I expected) were a nice carbon fibre effect.

As in the title in selling a standard 1.7 engine, MHA type. I bought it in September 2014 to put in my Puma but haven't got round to it and now have changed my plans, so I no longer require it. As I said it's from a 1999 and had done 89K when it was removed. I never saw it running and bought it...

Another one added to the collection! Ok well technically it's my girlfriend's car but as I'll be maintaining it I'll keep a log of it on here. It's a 2005 Fezzy with 82000 on the clock which we picked up yesterday for a satisfyingly low price of £650. We went to look at it a few days ago but...

As per the title, I'm selling my Mondeo Si rims and tyres that I had fitted to my Puma. A change of direction for the car means I no longer need these. The colour is Ford Diamond White but it's custom mixed to be two shades whiter, so it's more like the modern day Ford Frozen White. Two will...

A pair of genuine Ford axle spacers with high tensile bolts, bought directly from Ford, they'll even come in a genuine bag! I've had these for years and have spent the last 18 months in storage after I upgraded to 30mm. I'll take £20 for the lot collected from Altrincham WA14 and £25...

So I was bored at work (what a shock) and having a gander at the insurance groups of various cars and I discovered that the base 1.7, Black and Millenium models are group 25 but the Thunder is 23. Does anybody know the reason for this?

Simple question; is the immobiliser ring (fitted around the ignition barrel) coded to the ECU or just the key? I ask because I have a 1.7 engine with a TAPE ECU to fit to my 1.4, but the engine came with a non-fob key so changing the chip into my fob key will be tricky. Therefore if I could...

My plan with my car is to use it for mostly track, but I'll also want to get it out on the road for a weekend blast now and again. What I want from the exhaust is a tubular manifold, removable cat (for track use), straight through centre and suitable back box for noise regs, or one with a...

I'm after two 15" alloys as stated in the title. Preferably Puma or very similar fitment, because of the 300mm brakes modern ET52.5 will be too much even with 20mm spacers. Condition is unimportant as long as they are usable, ie. round and not cracked. The most important factor is price, or...

I voted remain, and at this point i'm assessing the idea of living on the moon. Discuss.

What do you call an Arabian Elvis Presley impersonator Amal Shookup I went for a hearing test the other day, but I was just sat in the waiting room for hours, they didn't even call my name. Local police are looking for a burglar with one eye. If they don't find him soon they'll start...

Are you sure because the whole point of "Panther" black is that it has blue/purple underneath like the fur of an actual Panther. Look at it in direct sunlight.

It's not as clear cut as that. For high performance and/or large displacement engines that require lots of air, then yes they very much are. On a completely standard Puma they will make a negligible difference to performance. Depending on the material cone filters are much less restrictive than...

67 Complications after intestinal surgery What is it with this year so far? He was my favourite Eagle and an incredible songwriter. R.I.P. Glenn Lewis Frey
