Default Ford Racing Puma

Hi all,

Am the new girl so just wanted to drop in and say hi! Couldnt see a newbies lounge so sorry if this is in the wrong place!

Bought myself a Ford Racing Puma about a year ago and have been looking around for fellow ford fanatics!

Really look forward to chatting to you all!

MI55 FRP aka Helen

Because some people are all about money and not being an enthusiast to the marque. I do wish people wouldn't buy FRPs that don't want the responsibility to keep these rare cars going.

I even offered the owner a cash sum for the whole car - a good proper amount - but he declined saying he'd get more money breaking it up. Makes my piss boil.



Sorry for going off at a tangent M155 FRP - of course we'll want to see pictures of your imperial blue goodness!

check the calipers!! they corrode underneath the pad shims and it raises them up so you end up with pads sticking, just changed full set on the missus one (273) and all because one pad was stuck it ment the other was doing all the work and nearly wore through which you definatly dont want if you have seen the price of new discs.....
