Project Puma

Hi.

I have said the mods so far in the newbies section.

What i am aiming to do next.

Got M3 mirrors to go on
Stainless exhaust manifold/decat
Newman cams
Lighter front sports seats and further weight reduction.
Gonna make my own rear strut brace and maybe a front upper brace too.

The above, with mods so far, should see approx 140 bhp, as it stands, i can run the quarter in about 16.5 at just over 85mph but i have lightened it a bit now and the above mods should see a much better time at shakespere raceway in april <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: --> .

Cheers.

sounds like a great project Tim!
we'll see you up skakey all the time this year then?

Yeah, should make a few this year, to test different mods.
Cheers.

Manifold/de-cat going on thursday next week , will make loads of difference, hopefully will be pumping more power than an FRPuma <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: -->

Will let you know how it goes <!-- s8-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s8-) -->

sounds good so far

sounds like a good little project going on,feel free to add some pictures though

yours is the black one at dassets if so i loaded pic's here for u

Thanks for that Andy.

Well, manifold and de-cat fitted, bit of a game but thanks to Ben and Steve at Emscote Motors, Warwick <!-- s8-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s8-) --> for keeping on with it, even though it was a pig to do <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt="" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->

Manifold supplied with totally wrong bolts but they got round that.
Manifold would not mate up with my system(piper) but nothing that an angle grinder did'nt solve <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: --> .
Then the front pipe section had to be shortened a bit.
Lambda sensor wires extended and very neatly put behind all the heat shields.
Heat shield from std manifold wont fit right, so i am going to get a high temp shield and mod to protect items near the manifold.

Was it worth it.............. .................oh yes!! <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: --> pops and crackles a treat, bit tinny but does seem to pull a hell of a lot better, so now, estimated around 150bhp , bloomin feels like it <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

So, with the cost to get it and fit it, i am v happy.

Thanks again to Emscote motors in Warwick <!-- s:drive: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/18.gif" alt=":drive:" title="Drive" /><!-- s:drive: -->
