Spring Overhaul Part 1! *FRP Content*
- Thread starter Gally
- Start date
or grow man hands !
2, on and off.
Extreme mode is driving it with no pants on.
Thanks for reading mate.
It would look immense lowered I totally admit that, sadly it would drive like crap. As mentioned in my last thread, there is a hub adaptor kit that lets you fit puma coilovers to the FRP. It's proven that no matter what set you put on OE is far better suited to the car.Got a lot of time for this! FLOL at the Door catches, absolutely brilliant work! Looking forward to part 2
FRP's look awesome tbh - would love one someday; not as a daily - just to keep in the garage. I have to confess to photoshopping one lowered a fair amount, and it looked like a genuine supercar. Mmmmmmm.
467/500 mate.
That's a hard one mate. I doubt I could to be honest, if you're ever up my way you're more than welcome to take it a blast and see what all the fuss is about.
A little comment that people might say is ridiculous. So flat, tight, poised, precise in the corners you would think you were driving a car 3 times it's value.
It just saddens me a bit that a lot of people have never driven one so they can only think "It's only a Puma, surely it can't be that different, that good?"
As you'll notice in this thread there is no one to really back up my statements which makes me sound like an utter fanboi.
My hands are tiny, akes my Peni look massive!

Looking very nice Gally! Clean as foooooook!
Seen my first one of these in the flesh the other day.
Look very evil :evil:

Look here you Jessies, technically that is ok as it isn't self-detailing - which I declare as being the gayest form of detailing.
The car now looks like this: http://jmstuning.co.uk/Forum Images/182 Images/71.jpg lol!
Thanks boys!
Nickson, they are a rare sight so it kinda catches your eye when one does go past.
The first one I ever seen was the one I bought, the only other one I know of in Scotland is Justin's neighbour (Aberdeen). It's a garage queen.

What is it like to run Kevin? Tax/mpg/insurance wise?
Oh. I recognised your last pic from google... which throws up this old ad for 425 from 2006. Same car/location?

Wait until he starts to try and polish out the cut and shut welding!
Don't doubt that in the slightest! Shame really.
How much does the body work differ from a standard puma? The arches look quite a bit bigger..
Not bad imo mate, tax is £112 for 6 months same as my last puma, MPG tricky one.
I still get around 150 miles for £20 not sure how much that equates to but it's decent and I live 3 minutes from my work, short journeys obviously don't help.
Lols after seeing what Tickford done to it, it's definitely a cut and shut!!!
There is a massive list of different things that was changed, it's a millions miles from a standard Puma imo. The front wings are much wider and made from Aluminium, rear arches again wider and made from simple steel. Different bumpers front and back.
Track increased by 58mm compared with standard, interior apart from the dash is totally different, be-spoke suspension by Eibach/Sachs.
A lot of R&D and money was spent on it, that's the reason it was 23k new.
Tappd'd RS
Flol, you had to pour youself out them ffs, no good for us humping eh!
i'll take your word for that!
Funny story, I think the FRP was the last mate.
Thanks mate i'm hoping to make a few, holidays will determine which ones.
The FRP always has a strong group at Castle Combe.Pmsl!

Awesome work and an awesome car
Think top speed is roughly 10mph extra 136 top end iirc and 160bhp opposed to 125 standard mate.Some of this is a bit O.T.T for me and I like a spot of detailing!
How much quicker are they than the normal Puma? I know asking that question kinda misses the point but do forgive me
Top end means little in the FRP imo. It means even less when you drive like I do.
