Hi Jay, welcome to the club :D

Nice and handy for spares in Brum, as that's where most of the Ford FRP parts ended up.
At a certain Puma specialist :wink:
You get a discount there being a member of this club.

Not sure if you need a membership card or number etc.
I'm sure Lisa will tell you.

There was some question about the discount being removed, but I got it OK last time I bought some stuff from Alan.
Just give Alan a ring and ask for a price for a cam belt and how much discount for the RPOC :wink:

I have recently done my wheels black, much better for everyday use.

Sounds like mine used to be after the cam timing had been done with a standard Puma timing tool :shock:
Rough, like it had been "chipped" or had "high lift" cams fitted.
But happy to scream up to the rev limiter in EVERY gear, only ever once in 5th :wink:

Mine wouldn't go around town in anything above 2nd as it missed so badly.

Now it's been done with a proper tool, I can drive around town in 5th, without too much trouble and it pulls all the way through the rev band, getting really exciting after 4K rpm.
