Default Mk4 Fiesta - 1.7 Puma power

For sale is my Mk4 Fiesta with 1.7 Puma engine

The car started life as a 1.25 and the swap was done by previous owner who is a mechanic. The swap looks completely OEM.

Shell has done 109k miles, engine has done 20k less than this.

Lowering springs

Zetec S alloys with ST170 centre caps

Mondeo ST front brakes

Zetec S exhaust

Puma gear linkage for shorter throw (feels almost like a quickshift)

Drilled airbox for a bit of induction roar

Taxed till Nov / MOT runs out early Nov (can check exact date if you need)

I have the V5 in my name etc

I have covered at least 6k miles with no problems whatsoever but fancy a change as I get bored easily

Only things that need mentioning are a couple of parking dings and some small scratches as per a 12 year old car. Also front wheels need balancing as you get a bit of wobble at motorway speeds.

£1500 ONO

My number is 07985 115151

Hehe, yeah I like the sticker on the cam belt cover too

It goes quite well and surprises a few people, shows up Zetec S's who think they're faster than you because it looks like a base model with a shiny set of wheels...

Yes it does, exactly as it should. I've also been told that the reverse light sometimes isn't wired correct on these conversions but this one definitely is.

I'm getting at least 250 miles to a tank and I fill up with about £44. So at 135.9 a litre that still works out over 35mpg and I don't drive very economically!

Standard fiesta gearbox and yes the previous owner told me he did the belt when doing the conversion. Belt will have done about 10k

I think that's an old wives tale tbh. Got a zetec s with a black underbonnet, and it's rusted just like other fiestas.
