P.S. I claim the title of fastest Puma - but that's only because everyone else I know has bolted tons of stuff to theirs and mine is probably the lightest.

A 90" weighing 2100KG!!!!


That thing needs to go to Jenny Craig Phil, and if you're after a QUICK 90, stick an auto in it. That R380 has gearshifts like a 1970's valiant charger

Anyway, I'd be interested to see some 0 to 100km/hr and 100 to 120km/hr TIMES and maybe a VID, and MOST definatley some DYNO sheets.

Butt Dyno


larger image $399.95 Model: ARSE411 2 Units in Stock Add to Cart:

Just install a great mod like a cold air intake? Electric supercharger? Big Muffler? Magnetic fuel line ionizer? Awesome wing? Are you getting no respect from your friends for your newly found power? As we all know, these are high end and sophisticated modifications. Some may be TOO sophisticated to actually show up on a traditional dyno. So here we have: The Butt Dyno. Simply place it in the seat, and drive fast, weaving in and out of traffic. (On a race course, of course.) Now you can tell your friends with confidence "That oil-saturated air filter gave me 20 horses!"



Dont most people quoting huge power increases use these?

So would I!

Impressive if so but I cant see 195kw out of a TD5 without much more serious work. thats over 240bhp......

In fact its 265bhp... No chance imo!!!

Eta mine weighs 2050kg Justin!

I Guess I was a bit hasty with the Jenny craig comment, I'm just still surprised that such a 'small' 4bee can weigh in at that, My 1981 2doorRR weighed 1800oddkg but didn't have the real chassis that the 'fender has

Power to weight ratios are improved cheaply by starting with a lightweight vehicle in the first place, or stipping out the 90 to start with

I remember years ago (Actually, lots of years ago) I entered a sand Gymkhana in the old 2 door, stock standard vehicle. I stripped out the rear seats, the spare wheel, all the fuel was in jerry cans which I left at the 'pits' and only put in 15 litres. I won the crosscountry section against some much higher output 4litre and 4.2 stroker rangies with lockers and all the fruit, but they were racing with their roofracks, fire extuingishers, roller drawers, fridges still on board... Just what did they EXPECT to happen????
