Default Puma Thunder

I've gone and got myself a puma as an on going project so I thought I'd start a thread while I'm learning to use my new camera. Until I upload these pics are the same but taken with my iPhone 5. Let me know what you think

It's a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H50. Nothing too fancy but it's a decent beginners camera. Just got to get used to it

Everyone's getting little Pumas!

One of the best colours that Magnum Grey - shows the curves off nicely.

[shameless plug]

May I suggest a little visit to www.projectpuma.com ...?

Nice way to get into it mate it will get you used to looking into manual set up. Then you will start getting moist for a DSLR ...

...Then the real filth begins when you get into "Fast Glass"

And you thought high performance tuning car stuff was dear

I can't afford another hobby
Yeah ZT build is under way anyhow so the fun begins after Christmas.

But for Ł500 T&T you can't go wrong with it. I'd be stupid not to get it at that price

Dal, I'm sure I joined up when I had my Black. I'll have a snoop for my login details.

Sounds well and there's a definite difference in responsiveness

It has to be the price of these at the moment. Even good condition ones are dropping in price.

Who's next for one then

Yeah, and? at least I'm not as much of a tart as you... I haven't got a signature on here with ProjectPuma on it.. unlike you on my forum with Passionford in it

Funny how a few years back the general view were that they were hairdressers cars etc.. Good to see people appreciating them for what they really are now - cheap little cars that are surprisingly fun to drive.

I leave the bottom part of the air box in as it has the airflow flute on. I've had them in both mine and have made a decent difference. Try one if you've got a spare one knocking around. You can all ways put the box back in

It's a lot nippier off the mark but I feel like I'm driving a bus because the celica is so low
Plus the ride is a lot smoother than the Celica's 18" alloys with practically no tyres
But yeah it's good.

That will work better. I just trough on an old filter I had knocking around. It grunts well but I'm thinking a stainless will be better. I've got one on the celica and it sounds immense
