Guess who's back

[Dal]

Not had him for what seems like ages, so he is kind of a newbie with a new "heart".

Nice and shiny new heart:

What's left of the engine is still in the boot :lol:

So far it feels a bit more torquey (sp) and tighter than the old engine, probably because it's not about to go tits up.

 

[Neil]

Must be great to have him back!

 

[Puma Babe]

I thought Torquey was a reosrt on the English riviera?

No, that's Torquay, and it's resort, not reosrt

Yes Neil - great to have him back.

 

[Puma Babe]

That'll be the Spanish spelling of resort then :lol:

 

[red]

yay

 

[BOK]

Good to see Giggles back

 

[cherwass]

Glad Giggles is back. Engine looks nice! Bet you are driving around with that grin again. U'll miss him when he is gone!

Time to fall in love all over again

The grin is coming back, and it might be hard to let the grin go tbh

1st drive down the lanes to work tomorrow morning : we'll see.

 

[Peter]

Take those bits of engine out first

 

[Dal]

They're in the shed - it stinks of oil in there now!

Need the windows open tomorrow! Any excuse to listen to the Milltek for the 1st time in over a month k:

 

[Pumadaddy]

go on keep it, you know you want to.

 

[Cherie]

How was it blasting down the lanes then?

 

[Dal]

Didn't blast to be honest as it was very damp and there was loads of mud on the roads what with the tractors etc. - but it felt nice and tight compared to the mondeo!

 

[Pumadaddy]

nothing like a nice tight exciting ride.

 

[Dal]

Was thinking (dangerous I know)

Might be better the devil you know and it's not as if I haven't spent enough on it already since august 2006:

• New 50K mile engine - fully serviced.
  Stainless Milltek Cat back exhaust.
  Weitec suspension all round.
  Powerflex bushes all round.
  Gearbox referbished as previous owner crunched reverse in causing shavings to seize it up.
  New clutch.
  New bigger calipers/discs & Mintex Xtreme pads up front, new shoes & cylinders at rear.
  FRP remapping.
  £'s worth of custom stealth stereo / amp / sub etc fitted by me. (I used to do it as a side line years ago)
  New wheels and tyres. (Fox / Toyo)

plus servicing..

What else can go wrong with it? Any car can go tits up tomorrow anyway : at least I know the above is ok.

:hide:

 

[Pumadaddy]

I knew you'd see sense.

Keep it, you know you want to.

Try shopping round for cheaper insurance perhaps on an agreed value with limited mileage and keep the mondeo as the winter hack

 

[Dal]

Pumas insurance is paid up until june. Need to find somewhere to insure the mondeo cheaply really.

 

[Cherie]

Did you check whether the puma is TPFT or fully comp now?
