good news dude

[wide ka]

that is one awsome car, i would go with red stripes, or go wild and do your wheels red or blue, some reason wide arched cars look so much better in white! mine looks like a small version of it!

[purplemonster]

thanks for the imput but i cant justify spraying brand new wheels lol but to be honest i did want white ,i was going to refurb the rondells in white but chose new wheels instead

but i have got a set of red and blue side strips lol i was sent the wrong colour by mistake ,then sent he correct colour bargin lol

[wide ka]

[purplemonster]

must admit i like it ,i much rather smaller nimble cars that you can through around hence i used to modify minis

what sort of engine and suspension spec is it

[wide ka]

1600 zetec se, big valve head with headwork, ss4 shawspeed cams, throttle bodies, uprted engine bolts, lightedned flywheel, miltek manifold and rest piper system, omex 600 mangment, plated lsd, leda coiovers, with sparco strut braces, it my first car and been trying to do it all myself, which has been good fun!

[purplemonster]

well thats not bad spec at all and to do it all your self is also a big achivement i know some qualified techs that wont do some of the work you have done

its a small light car must go well ,whats it been dynoed at ?

[wide ka]

22nd for the dyno, aound the 800kg mark should be o.k for a small car, never had a fast car before!

[purplemonster]

i will be getting the puma weighed just out of interest

they are a light car to start with at only 1050kg as far as i know
but mine should be less,how much i dont know

[purplemonster]

collectecd car today its been for 4 wheel alighment and set up

it needed some rose joints cut down etc to achive the results i wanted

now the car drives straight and smooth

now on to the teething problems

now i have a few questions
1) how much power can a standard cosworth fuel pump handle
2) any recommendations to what clutch to fit - for for 350bhp?
3) and where is the cheapest place to source the clutch and fuel pump

[Spiky]

alcon 6 paddle from mike rainbird

std pump is ok for 350



cant wait to see this

[Spiky]

who set it up????

[purplemonster]

garage call westyre in caerphily

the guy there has a very good name with regards to race cars

he just setup my mates mini that has a honda type R engine in the boot
and that drives perfect also

[purplemonster]

isnt a paddle clutch a little over kill for 350bhp?

i have the 044 cosworth fuel pump fitted at the moment but its ready to die
but if i just need a standard pump i may save a few £ and get a standard pump instead and save my money for the rolling road tune

[Spiky]

i live right next to caerphilly and dont know that garage...lol

whats it near???

sadly the std clutchs are not going to cope for long with 350

i had 350 and std pump on greens and it was fine

[Spiky]

westyre , ah i know they changed name
