Hi all,
My first post on here to introduce my latest buy. Puma 1.7 on a Y plate.
I was looking for something that was A) loads of fun to drive, and B) available on a tight budget, and I couldn't think of anything that'd fit the bill better. 55k miles, FSH... £550 - it amazes me how little these still go for!
First impressions after a couple of weeks: handles brilliantly, steering has decent feel, great gearbox, enough straight line speed (for now)... But worst seats I've ever experienced in any car. I'm 5'7" and (I like to think) in good shape, but the standard Puma items have no support at the top and dig into my lower back. After barely an hour behind the wheel they give me chronic back pain.
I'm solving this problem with some Recaros from a Fiesta RS Turbo - they look great and give fantastic support. Which is where I'm wondering if any of you guys can help.
The guy I bought them from had already adapted the seat frames (mk 3.5 Fiesta jobbies) so they almost slot straight in. I say 'almost' because they're missing the little 'top hat' risers. Does anyone happen to have one kicking about? I bought one that was on eBay, but I still need another!
Cheers, and thanks for having me here
