No problems mate , hope you have a good night
The Racing puma is an awesome little car and to be honest i cant think of anything i would rather own ( which i can insure ) at this time. Straight line speed isnt what shes about. So many people on these forums are stat whores, just because it dosent have an amazing 0-60 time or a high BHP figure dosent meen its not a good car. The Ford Racing Puma is about the whole package.
Noise, It sounds fantastic. Pops and crackles when you back off ( Sounds like a proper race car

) Janspeed Exhaust/ Sports Cat / Manifold and Racing Cams add to this pleasure - Listen foryourself -

Looks Fantastic, A few times i have been out and random people have walked over asking me what the hell it is and who its done by. Get loads of looks and waves its fantastic.
The alcantara inside the trim makes a HUGE diffrence. Some people hate the fiesta dash but i love it. The seats look amazing and hug you in nice and tight which meens you dont slide about.
The FRP comes with Aircon/ Leccy Mirrors / Leccy windows / Heated front+Rear windscreen.
Handling is the best thing about this car. Really feels like a go kart very direct and dosent stop gripping. The suspension system was developed by eibach for the Racing puma and boy oh boy does this show. I havent personally taken myn on track yet but i hear there pretty darn quick.
The Brakes are awesome but as some say are expensive to look after. £218 for a standard disc @ pumabuild then another £112.99 for the pads. But remember these are 4 pot Alcons so there hardly your "standard" stuff. Simon got it spot on as usual

they dont have dirt seals so who ever changes the pads has to be carefull when removing / putting in new ones ( Making sure they give the caliper a good clean too ) As long as you look after them it shouldent be a problem. Myn oviousley were not looked after 100% and i paid the price. The pistons were pitted therefor i needed to replace them all. I went for a caliper recon which cost me £475.
Also thought i would mention the gearbox. Think this is exactley the same as in the standard puma but its fantastic. Nice and tight and very direct.
£8000 will get you a semi decent racing puma but be prepared to spend money getting it upto scratch. You could be lucky but its likley that things will need doing and unfortantley the racing puma isnt as cheap as the normal puma to run. A Service is the same as the normal puma, Pumabuild charge £147.02. But all the things which are "individual to the Racing puma are in small numbers therefor they all carry high prices"
To give you an idea ive so far had to spend over £1500 to keep myn on the road and to get it how i want it ie perfect paintwork / wheels with everything running as new i expect to spend another £1500 this year. Im an unusual case and have spent quite a bit more than my friends who own Racing Pumas. But please make sure you can afford the costs if they do happen to come knocking on your door.
If your not shy to the expensive maintenance and you feel its a good car for you then i say go for it. It will defentley be a car you remember. Owning a car where only 500 examples were made feels very special. This isnt just a "special edition" its a reworked car !
Any questions just ask mate and ill do my best
