medium steel blue

There's a very similar colour that was available on early cars - it was called Cuirass. But as this one's a 51 plate, it must be Medium Steel Blue

thanks!

also whats the difference between a normal puma and a "racing" one? sorry for being thick..just new to pumas

[PussCat]

to give an easy reply..... about 30bhp

Cosmetic differences : the FRP only comes in Blue, has wider arches, sparco seats...

[xxkayxx]

there arn't many around though are there?
what about insurance group difference? as im only 19! lol im sure they would love me!!

[PussCat]

i THINK a standard puma is group 12, an FRP is 15 or 16 depending on the insurer...

Unless youve got 2 or 3 grand to spend on Insurance then i would give it a miss till youre a bit older and have Max No Claims Bonus

[xxkayxx]

i will anyway i think! even incase i have another accident i wont be able to afford the insurance with no no claims!
its not really that much anyway i think (hope!)

[spenspuma]

Bet its not far off....especially if you already have one accident!!

engine-wise :

From the Pumabuild website...

"...the Racing Puma engine (155bhp) is the same basic unit as its smaller brother (standard 1.7 Puma 125bhp), the only changes To the engine are:-

Tuned Exhaust System
Special induction system
Cams / Cam Timing
Revised PCM Settings

These four modifications took the 1.7 engine from 125bhp to 155bhp a total of 30bhp which is a respectable figure for a 1.7 road engine."

I believe it also had upgraded brakes and suspension.

Yup thats Medium Steel Blue just like mine! Lovely colour when clean and shiny

I would think you would be better off getting a 1.4 at 19 years old, even that is group 9 insurance. It's pretty nippy though and can surprise a few cars, I've got a 1.4 and it's not much slower than my mate's 1.8 Accord Sport.

MSB... same colour as mine too!

i wana move up not down, 19 year old girl with 2years ncb it isnt that much tbh

[spenspuma]

Go to Confused.Com and get yourself a quote on one...with 2 years ncb you should be only looking at around £1500 fully comp if youve never had an accident.

Have a look for a 1.7, I got mine when I was 19 and the insurance was pretty good. No accidents either or points (yet).
Currently touching a lot of wood!
If it was good for a male it should be good for a female, try www.moneysupermarket.com, good site and I managed to get a few pointers as to where to take my money.
