The missus new ford racing puma

[Gally]

Yeah only 500 made in imperial blue. A lovely colour in the flesh.

None of the standard ones were that colour.

 

[Will.]

Ahh ok so there are some FRPs in diff colours but only some in the imperial blue? They might just have come into my budget

 

[Gally]

No there are only 500 FRP'S ever made. They were all in imperial blue.

Any other colour is a standard 1.7 Puma. Tbh it's still a cracking car.

 

[Will.]

I get it now. No FRP for me then Unless i use my student loan lol Might have to drive one first

 

[tommy g]

[Gally]

[tommy g]

im not covered to drive other cars. it gets so many looks espeicaly from the ford nuts

 

[dzm]

I was playing with a silver one of these the other day with a nurburg sticker. Lovely looking motor !

It was quite slow though..

 

[treemanx]

^^^ A silver FRP??? Probably a standard 1.4/1.7

 

[Gally]

Lols <3 Teh emo.

They only made them in imperial blue mate, wasn't a FRP.

The car gives a new meaning to the twisties.

The arch gap is huuuge on these things!

What are these like to tune?

What are these like to tune?

They ain't.

You can't really put cams in them, due to the variable valve timing, there are a few around with ITB's, but still there ain't a massive of gain in BHP just a noticeable hike in llb's/tq.

They ain't about power, and its difficult to get much more out of the 1.7 engine.

 

[Gally]

What are these like to tune?

Lols like jamie above said pretty simply you can't.

Focus RS engine is about the best idea but I know a few that are stripped and running NOS with other mods.

Most definitely not about the power on these things.

Quicker round the ring than a mk1 FRS.

 

[JD]

Shame. Stunning cars, at least from the front. Love the wheels and splitters you see on the owners club website.

Can nothing be done? Based on the fact that I am coming from a 13 second Clio

 

[Gally]

Just simple mods JD nothing major, I prefer corners rather than straights that's why I have a thing for them.

If it can go quicker than a FRS round a course then it shows how quick the thing can corner.

It won't lose money either.

[JD]

Shame that, may still have a drive in one, love the colour and looks but I made that mistake with my Clio.

 

[Gally]

What mistake?

Remember there isn't a lot of these JD, it really is a head turner.
