Puma'd fiesta mk5 zs.... Should I be worried?

[Charlie-silver172]

A friend of mine will be acquiring one soon,

ive never seen one go so I'm just wondering how a ph2 172 and a puma'd fiesta would fair up against eachother?

 

[Stu172cup]

He has about a 40 bhp deficit - and similar weight i wouldnt worry

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Nothing special. You'll leave him behind.

 

[Charlie-silver172]

Glad you's have said that haha!

Thought the fiesta was a fair chunk lighter?

 

[Stephenx77]

The 1.7 puma does 0-60 in about 9s and the fiesta doesn't weigh much less, so you should pull on him quite easily

 

[Charlie-silver172]

Was just making sure lol handling will probably be on par

 

[Stephenx77]

I wouldn't be so sure. I used to have a mk4 fiesta (mk5 was just a facelift of mk4) lowered on aftermarket springs and shocks, running the same size tyres you find on a 172 and it didn't corner as well as my 172 cup does on standard suspension.

But I guess there is only one way to find out which handles better for sure

 

[Adam G]

Well my wife's Puma on worn standard suspension and cheapy budget tyres, on some bends handles as well as my 172 on sportlines and decent rubber.

He might not be as quick but there's a good chance he'll be having more fun.

 

[S1MON]

My slightly modded 1.7 puma'd Fiesta use to keep with my mates 182 till 100mph.

 

[Beasley Clio182]

I had a mk5 lower and set up properly, nothing on the Clio ! Also as said the 1.7 puma does 60 in 9 seconds so nothing at all to worry about !

I love my fords but facts are facts , even racing puma would struggle to keep up ! They handle well and look the balls though lol

 

[Gally]

I reckon 95% of Clio owners would take 9 seconds to get to sixty!

 

[realnumber 1]

I reckon 95% of Clio owners would take 9 seconds to get to sixty!

Is that because the RS only makes up about 5% of clio's sold or something? Or is it because the thread mentions a Ford lol.

It wouldn't take 9 seconds if you started in 2nd!

 

[Charlie-silver172]

I've got sportlines on mine with normal tyres

would put nicer tyres on it but I'm saving for a set of turinis


either way, clio makes a better noise mine does anyway bwaaaaaaAAAAAAARP

 

[Beasley Clio182]

Your ford biased don't know what 1*2s you've been driving , but you would have to drive awfully to do 60 in 9 seconds !

 

[cat171]

God damn street racers!

Gally's post count makes a persuasive argument!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Clio > Fiesta IMO

I remember my mum owning a 1.7 Puma once, dull as dishwater, sounded the same as 1.25 Zetec Fiesta and reminded me of one (dash etc) like a pretend Fiesta Coupe.. Much like a Vauxhall Cavalier and a Calibra or something

 

[leeds_182]

I thought the rs clio was one of the best handling / fun hot hatches of the last 20 years?

 

[Chip-mk1]

He wont be as quick but there's a good chance he'll be having fun for longer on the same stretch of road.

EFA



Clio will dry hump the 1.7 fezza.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Looks like loads of fun..

Dont piss in my face and tell me it's raining! I would be underselling the 1*2 if I were to describe it as the automotive ejaculation of the modern age!

 

[tonyd106]

Unless his is stripped and cammed he won't be near you.

They're good fun though, I enjoy going out in my mates rs green one.

 

[Gally]

Lols at the serialness in here.

 

[botfch]

Shame ruining a puma to put it in a fiesta, tell your mate to buy the real deal!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Tell your mate to get a Clio

 

[Gally]

Tell your mate to get a Clio

Why? Genuine question.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Why the hell would you want to buy a rusty Ford Fiesta with an engine conversion that's not worth it?

 

[George182]

Why? Genuine question.

Clio will dry hump the 1.7 fezza.

:rasp:

 

[Jonff]

Pumd'd Mk5 Fiesta wouldn't stand a chance unless the Clio was unhealthy. Clio would be more comparable to a FRP'd Mk5 Fiesta.

 

[Steven103]

Is that because the RS only makes up about 5% of clio's sold or something? Or is it because the thread mentions a Ford lol.

FLOL. Nicely done.

I really don't get "oh my dayz mi m8s jus brought a nu car iz mi clio gonna be faster?" threads anyway (I apologise to the OP as I realise the spelling in this particular thread is far better than the usual)

 

[Charlie-silver172]

I was just asking a question, I tried search bar and nothing came up

judging by the replies I've had my car should destroy it,

havent raced another 172 so I don't know if mines good or not but it sits next to a stripped 106 gti with induction kit and 4 branch
bare in mind my car is standard except the springs

 

[Martin.]

I don't think the shitty fiesta will trouble you at all.

 

[Cub.]

Goddamn street racers.........

 

[Eddie.]

Why do you care?

Seriously?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Why do you care?

Seriously?

Werent you 18 once?

Winnng is everything to most teenage lads, could be the difference between going home with 2 16 year old girls or none, lol.

 

[Gally]

Flol at destroy it. Sometimes I try and stick up for R.S. Clio owners/ownership but some make it hard.

 

[Andy93]

Lol at the 9 seconds comment. Poor troll.
