italian puma driver

[BlackJack]

Hi everyone!
My name is Giuseppe, and I'm from Sicily. I'm a 26 years old student, and I bought my panther black 1.7 ford puma in 2008. through these years, I developed my ford puma to be the Italian fastest "road legal" puma, and I think nowadays I did it. I joined this community to share the passion for this lovely tiny fun car, after reading for years some of your threads with great developments and projects.

I hope you'll give me a warm welcome and you will also forgive me for my terrible English

Hi, welcome along, I only spotted one puma when I was over in Italy a couple of months ago! it was black, wasn't yours was it! :lol:

P.S your English seems better than mine!

 

[BlackJack]

thank you guys!
@fatdonger: great Italian!
@slayllian: thanks! i'm afraid it wasn't me if you weren't in Sicily especially if it was stock: i designed both the front and rear bumpers of my puma. here's an idea:
REAR BUMPER WITH WIND SPLITTER

FRONT BUMPER:

You could create a new topic in the 'ProjectPuma' forum http://www.projectpuma.com/viewforum.php?f=64, it is for peoples projects on their cars.

Very tallented and lovely looking Puma you have there. The diffuser you created is rather nice, had that been a off the shelf product then i would consider getting one.

What's under the bonnet or are all the transformations cosmetic?

 

[Evil Monkey]

Anyone else up for a meet in Italy?

 

[BlackJack]

under the bonnet I have forged pistons (custom made), reinforced block (custom made), good camshaft (newman) with different timing set, full stainless steel exhaust (4-in-1 manifold), enlightened flywheel (custom made), bigger throttle body (flushed and gasflowed coming from an Escort 2.0), standalone ECU (DIMsport), polished and ported head (custom made), 11.9:1 compression ratio, adjustable fuel pressure regulator (malpassi), stage 2 clutch, and lots of electronic conversions about sending units and other stuff and some other things that I'm surely forgetting. I've been developing it for something like 5 years, under both performance/handling and cosmetic profile. I also have got Koni adjustable suspensions with H&R springs (-35mm) and 20mm spacers in the back, and EBC brakes (both rotors and pads). There surely is something else I'm forgetting

Very impressive indeed... shame youre in italy, i'd like to see it.

 

[BlackJack]

thank you! I really appreciate! I wish I was somewhere else, since here the laws are very restrictive (we can't even change tyre size). I might happen to be in London this summer (after 8 years ), before going to the States

Love what you have done with the bumpers!
