A fortune has been spent on this car to make it as mechanically sound as i could get it,who ever buys this will get a bargin in my eyes as all the common faults with frp's have been put right. DOnt let the miles put you off this car looks and drives like new you wont be dissapointed.
Number 353/500 features the usual FRP specification, with its blue Sparco seats inside (with Ford Racing and Sparco stitching), with matching blue alcantara door cards and rear seats. It has a Ford CD player and optional 6 disc changer in boot, with good speakers. Electric windows are standard, as are the electric heated mirrors, plus Air-Conditioning, which is in good order. No need to re-gas it! as its already been done. Its has also had smoked tinted windows not to dark just right.
The car is nearly standard, because only a fool would "modify" an FRP. Featuring the standard (yet incredible) Alcon Motorsport 4-piston brakes, with the upgrade of 327mm rotors, this car outbrakes anything else Ive driven They are astonishing.
Eibach/Sachs suspension compliments the FRP, with unbeleivable handling. The turn in is razor sharp and incredibly responsive. Its the best handling FWD car in the world, better than the DC2 Integra.
The car has had a recent cam belt change and new drive shafts fitted to both sides although it only needed one, recent toyo proxys all round,discs and pads all round with uprated pads to stop brake dust getting into the pistons that are unsealed on these,new miltek stainless exhaust(producing a lovely rasp and back popping)
The engine is standard, producing 155bhp..
The body work, is obviously imperial blue. In my opinion, its the best colour that you can have on a road car. . Its a great colour, changing from purple, to deep blue, to light blue. Its a joy to clean and polish.
Due to the massive arches and bumpers on the FRP, its more prone to catching stone chips - there are a few minor ones on the car, a usual thing with an FRP. It has had some paintwork to keep it up to standard and very clean and shiney crack free.
Overall, my Racing Puma is in very good condition. The engine and mechanicals are fine,there is no crashing from suspension/bushes (although FRPs are inherantly noisey, boomy, and firm), the brakes feel brilliant, and the cambelt has been done.
