ford racing puma

[Ryan81]

any one own one , had one ?
whats the tunning potential on one ? throttle bodies etc
and gearbox do they do a click click box for them ?


as not happy with my 205 rally car(will be for sale come october, new build great spec) , to dinky feeling in it

looking for a ford racing puma (not s1600) cant afford one of those

used to own a puma 1.7 sport was a good car ,

so does anyone know of any tired examples lying around , not fused with TAX n Mot , but must have V5 , engine and chasis numbers matching as will have to register it here in jersey

A mate of mine has one for sale. That's a Bonny one

i quite like them, hinted a few times at getting one and trying to talk the misses into using it as her daily

from a tuning potential, its probably worth giving Harvey/Jimbo a shout, as far as i can recall, Harvey was involved with the engine development for that car!

i love them apart from the wheels theres an old grey haired granny round here who drives one,i often wonder if she actually realises what it is lol

you can with a lot of head work and ford rally team works roller barrel throttle bodies get 200-220bhp out of the engine. Bottom end wont last long at 200 odd bhp with higher rev limit though.


180bhp is realistic and should last quite well as long as you keep the rev limit below 8k.

You wont need a sequential box on one. They are available off hewland at silly money. The gearchange is miles better than on any MT75, and at best justs needs a quickshift and a decent LSD/ATB diff if you get one without a diff. Gearbox comes from factory with shotpeened first and second so will be more than upto usual track abuse.

brakes if serviced properly are awesome and you wont need anything else. I wouldnt swap them for AP 6 pots even if you paid me.

Not very workable engine without spending lots of cash. The easy way for more power is always turbocharging which i have done to a couple.

I have a 4x4 Puma been locked away for ages if you want to own a proper one.
