My names micky, im 23 from hartlepool in the north east and i drive a 1.7 puma with tinted windows, chrome 17" alloys and lowered 40mm. Just found out about this site from Chris3Boro so i thought id sign up and have a nosey around. Speak to you all soon
 
Hi :D

Welcome to the site; your car looks/sounds very cool.. can't go far wrong with a set of 17s and lowering!

Mine is pretty standard in comparison!

How do you find the ride?
 
thanx for the welcome and i find the ride very VERY bumpy, i think there may be something wrong with the shock absorbers but not certain...i suppose i shud find out really haha but im too lazy. And what does red impact mean? haha sorry if im abit slow
 
LoL i've no idea either :p

You'd expect a pretty harsh ride with it that low with low profile tyres really.

Or do you mean bouncy as in like bouncing on a bed? If so the shocks are probably worn lol. Are they standard ford shocks with just lower springs?
 
Hi and welcome!

I know the feeling with all the bumps - my FRP is the same!
 
haha thanx chris :D erm...yeh standard ford shocks with some lowering springs. Its not bouncy but every bump i go over, no matter how small...it feels and sounds as tho ive ran over a washing machine or somthing rediculous like that haha.
 
Think you need new shocks, inevitable this will happen with just springs. Get some uprated ones if you can afford it (no idea on price tbh) I'll have to keep an eye out for you! Get more pics up of your car!
 
im just tryin to find where everyone pics are? do i just put them in this post?? haha

Hi Micky,

Moondust? Lowered? 17s?

You have style my friend :eek:k:
 
first picture's really cool. I'll keep an eye out for you, though I'm never in Hartlepool. Might see you around Teesside Park etc though, never know!
 
yeh im always driving about, i work all over the north east so u will without a doubt see me at some point. Thanx for the comment Dal and Vicky...where are the pumaspeed stickers u have?
 
Hey Micky, welcome to our playground. I like the lights in the first photo. :eek:k:

It definitely sounds like you need new shocks, especially if they're the standard ones and just lowered on springs.
 
Lowering springs on standard shocks kills them quicker... Mine was crashy when I bought it so I replaced them with weitec / FRP shocks and springs instead ;)
 
sounds like i ought to invest in some too haha...mite be getting sold soon tho unfotunately :(
