Well I use to have a puma, but after blowing a stupid amount of money for it to spit dummy out twice i had to start from ground zero again.
The puma:


The fresh start.
I've had this lil beaut since may this year, was rocking around in a green polo and managed to talk the guy into a p/x with a small amount of cash for this. It was completely standard bar exhaust/lowered. There reason I got it for a good price is that it is recorded as a CAT C but after a test drive and a good look round was happy enough.
I had a bit of a nightmare over the last few months as the n/s hub wasn't original, and since there a 3 types of driveshafts it took a long time to get the right one, then it still didn't fit, so in the end I got a complete strut and driveshaft of ebay, only for that driveshaft not to fit either hub either!!! Eventually manage to get a a complete set up from a local scrapyard for all of £40 bargain!!!

After giving it a full service and sorting out all the little issues it had, it now boasts:
4-2-1 manifold (Heat Wrapped by The sexy Mattyboy)
Decat
Magnex cat back
Raceland induction kit
Sparco strut brace (with dodgy paintjob )
Polished rocker covers
Comprake Quickshift
OMP WRC suede steering wheel
GTI 6 brakes and master cylinder and braided lines.
Lightweight C5 wheels wrapped in goodyear eagle f1's.

I ran it at york dragstrip with just filter and decat, and got a best time of 6.8 0-60, 15.21 1/4mile with room for improvement due to only launching at 3k all day not realising the strip was grippier in the afternoon. My times were quite abit better than most gti's on the day, i was 3rd fastest with about 20 running on the day.

Went to streetracers on Sunday and made 142bhp was very pleased

Got some more plans for it, but wont update till next year now due to xmas lol

Thanks to Becks for these pics

Manifold, Matt Wrapped this for me he's a legend

Polishing service on aluminum, please pm for details

40mm apparently although I think it's lower, just on springs at the front. A little bit bouncy but most roads are crap and any stiffer it'll probably ruin it.

looks spot on mark, those white steelies suit it really well

about time you got some pic's up

The C5 suit it really well, they totally change the way the car handles as well thanks to them having decent Tyres!

Good Job i was returning mine to standard otherwise you'd not have half them bits on yours!

impressive power figure too, shame i missed your run

Cheers Terry, was gutted when that honda with the vtec went on good power from a 1.6 n/a. Hopefully should be able to give it a run for its money next time

Yeah I bought the wheels, steering wheel, gearbox mount, and quickshift off mat Think you should build a gti up Mat so i can rob some more bits lol.

what did that honda make in the end? i was tarting about warming my car up and never saw it run

matt is useful for something

142bhp from a lightly modded 1.6! mintos

Tom's CRX ran 168bhp. peak power at 8200/8600 or something?

blimey thats good going.

I can't see your pics at work, but if everyone else says it looks good, i'll agree

I do actualy love this car Mark

It makes me want one

Also Marks gf is now getting us to mod her 1.4 106 into one with the same kit/bumpers as yours, as she loved the look of it... but weve just picked up a 1.6 8v vtr engine for it

Sounded good too, and I love the look of the C5 wheels on it

Well the clutch died last week (lasted alot longer than i expected) and put a hole in the box in the process. So now sports mats 4 paddle clutch and vtr box. No more bogging down its awesome, just needs an lsd.

The the gears however are a touch too long so it drops of the power band when going through the gears unless its bouncing over the limiter. It now does 70 in 2nd, 100 in 3rd, and 120 in 4th. Still quicker than my mates starlet between 30-100 pulling away even more in the top end now.
