I really really want to like that, but those wheels kill it for me.

I bet it goes well though, and you cannot beat the chassis on those cars, they're just amazing!
 
I think with some rear axle spacers that could look at lot better. Nice colour though. Loved my zs, just a bit understeery.
 
Nice colour! Not a fan of the wheels.

Whats the deal with doing the puma conversions?

Theres 2 round my way with that conversion done and they are pretty slow. But they are botched together/pigs so could just be piss poor engines and not looked after.
 
Rear spacers would certainly help, but yeah, think the wheels are a bit small. Mudflaps are also suspect...

Bodgey conversions is probably their problem then lol. I remember having a play in my VTR with another with a VTS conversion and the guy was properly annoyed i kept leaving him. Looking at his car though, it was a shed so i can only imagine what the conversion was like.

Iirc the Puma lumps are like 125bhp? Or the Racing is 155bhp? Even the 125bhp lump should make it pokey though, i'd have thought that'd be GTI/VTS quick? Which is pretty much sticking with a 172 until illegal speeds.
 
I love it but it needs sone changes. No real need for the cheap arches or cheap escort GTi-a-like Sideskirts.

The ZS bumpers and ZS sideskirts look superb on their own. Sporty and subtle.

Wheels are fine with some spacers. 2118's in 15" would really work!

Oh and I love the fact he's used a non ZS, the colour is pretty cool.
 
The wheels were on the car when he bought it, he bought a set of borbets and had to remove the rear spacers to make them fit! Pics taken just after mot

It's got too much of the Saxo Ripspeed bodykit about it. Deep recess wheels hurt the looks too. Only my view though, and I'm an old duffer lol
 
Wheels, stance and skirts are just wrong. Potential recipe for a very tidy motor otherwise.
 
I like it kinda but a FRP rear axle will give that the stance it needs and some different wheels
 
Yes they are in comparison to Zetec-S ones. That's not in dispute.
 
I quite like that but I've always been a fan of mk5 ZS. Will own one again for a cheap track toy, a lot to be had out of them and great handling car.
 
I like it. Looks kinda retro with those wheels, like something ford would have fitted to the early mk1's in the late 1970s. It's certainly clean.
 
I know that wee motor. It's a cool wee yoke. I test drove a puma converted fiesta about a year ago. It was pants. I have an old 1900 tdi a4 avant that pissed all over it.
