They are one hell of a special car. Sadly has grip>grunt, it's actually quite similar to driving a fwd lotus élan in a lot of ways. Bags and bags of grip, but not much adjustability and very frustrating if caught behind a dawdled on a decent road.

I read it's good because it has adjustability and you know what it's gojing to do.

Again to be fair you need to be a r****d to bin it in the dry imo.

Nice little motors. It's good to have something a bit different.

Isn't it right that the calipers aren't dust sealed so they have to be rebuilt after every journey to the shops?

Flol!

Yearly rebuild mate, the brakes are worth it tho!

Like you say it's nice owning something different.

Crap when someone asks what's the difference between that one and the old one.

Erm just the colour mate...

 

[Gally]

I like very much.
I'd like it much more on turinis though.

O rly!

 

[ForceIndia]

Yearly rebuild mate, the brakes are worth it tho! Whiplash inducing stopping power!

Flol. Think about it.

 

[Gally]

I did I fail.

 

[leeroybrown]

Have you ever seen the FRP with the anthracite turini's on

Its Pure p**n!

 

[Charlie.]

O rly!

That looks like full on XXX illegal scat p**n.

 

[leeroybrown]

Opps just seen it.

Makes me want one even more now!

 

[Gally]

Funnily enough the guy didn't have them on long.

That one is no.4 of 10 press cars. No 004/500

 

[leeroybrown]

Sure that was at Trax's a few years ago

 

[Naith]

[Gally]

Turner said he couldn't make it and I text you when I was leaving Reading and I recieved no text back Naith!

 

[Naith]

never got a text?!?! srs... :'(

miss your face

 

[rory182]

Awesome, just noticed this thread. Nice work Gally

 

[gaz44]

Nice car. I guess it's kinda on the same level of desirability as the V6 - rare, unique and slow!

I'd have the FRP over the V6, I reckon.

 

[Gally]

Flol at the comparisons but yeah you're nearly spot on!

Hi Rory cheers!

Naith i'll be back down your way at some point mate!

 

[Ally]

Cracking car gally, totally under-rated car

 

[Gally]

Ever had a blast in one Ally?

 

[Hixle]

Can't believe I've only just seen this! Looks a minter Gally!

Are you thinking of heading down to Ford Fair?

 

[Gally]

I think i'm gona miss it this year, i'm going to Duxford for the Racing Puma 10th anniversary day. Ford and stuff are going to it along with some magazines.

It's really close to my holiday aswell! Really wanted to attend!

I picked the car up from Reading! I didn't know you stayed there!

 

[Hixle]

Gheyer :dapprove: To be fair it is a bit of a drive for you, lol!

I know mate, I literally got back from holiday the morning you came to get it, would've got you from th'airport otherwise bud!

 

[Gally]

Heathrow?

Gutted matey!

Duxford should be worth the drive!

Stay over night then drive back up after the show!

 

[ben_p]

Looks great mate! Think im getting a RS again tomorrow! Fancy one of these though!

 

[Gally]

You won't lose any money on these that's one thing.

3 different Magazines including Evo said if you find one close or under 5k snap it up now!

I can't believe what I got for £4800! What a car imo.

 

[R20 CWH]

you checked the charger fits your ghd's yet?

 

[Gally]

Pmsl!

I now have a compatible in car GHD charger.

 

[Hixle]

Heathrow?

Gutted matey!

Duxford should be worth the drive!

Stay over night then drive back up after the show!

Heathrow indeed mate!

Yeah man should be a good meet.

Btw...£4800!? I'm off to search PH!

 

[Gally]

Yeah I knocked him down quite a bit!

Bargain, his missus is pregnant so he needed a new car and I was travelling some distance!

 

[Djw John]

Nice one mate, always good to finally get the car you've been wanting for ages.

 

[Gally]

Funnily enough it wasn't till long ago I talked myself back into one.

I had decide it was a bad idea as it's very rare and not ideal for a daily driver!

I was wrong and so glad I talked myself into it!

 

[bendee]

awsome mate love them seen a load at the chatsworth rally id love one shame im buying a house lol

 

[Gally]

I see you own it's rival tho!

 

[leeroybrown]

Buy this to!

[Gally]

It is an exact replica of the super 1600 rally car by rapid fit!

He's an owners club member.

 

[bendee]

haha i do, the puma is defo on my list id love to go test drive one but would hate to waste peoples time. how do they respond to mods? how much to get them to 200 brake? i think that would make them spot on.

 

[Gally]

Ah that old question.

Major mods similar to the F4R engine. Scharge Tcharge is the only way to get mega power. Engine transplant also.

It's more about handling than straight line speed.

Also on a day that autocar tested an S3 and a Subaru P1 it came out on top according to them.

A little indication of how quick it goes round corners... The lowest powered car on the day...

[Justin]

I've always thought of the FRP to be a bit like an Elise, not a hue amount of power, but handles really well etc. Not all cars about straight line

 

[Gally]

Cheers Justin don't want to be comparing it to Elise's incase the high and mighty come down on me but you're bang on.

FLOL I am special sometimes. Just googled this thinking it was some kind of German tuning company that I'd never heard of.
