Focus ST 'Puma build'..?
 
Anyone had any experience of this Co and their mods..?

sandyRS16i 23 March 2007 10:50 PM

they are the best in the business for modding new duratec fords. theri knowledge of doing the pumas, fiests St, focus RS and focus ST is unmatched TBH. i'd only recommend them or GGR to do work on a focus ST......just look on any ford forum or ask on Passion Ford

I had a Fiesta Zetec S 5 or so years ago when I was 18 and contacted them about various mods they offered.
They knew their stuff but the prices were high if I remember correctly.
I ended up using Pumaspeed because they were cheaper and closer to me and was always happy with the work they did. At the time, it was run from a guys garage at his home (Pumaspeed I mean) but it now looks like he's got some proper premises. May be worth a look as an alternative.

Pumabuild are also currently building a Focus ST with Performance Ford magazine from a bare shell,and it looks like it is going to have a stunning spec list.............i don't know what sort of power they are trying to achieve,but they had 6 pot front and 4 pot rear brakes planned,which have just been upgraded to 8 pot fronts and 6 pot rears,which along with everything else they also have planned it really should be an awesome car.

I am sure that either Pumaspeed or Pumabuild will do the business on an ST and both companies have demo vehicles so you can drive what your cash will get you,always good IMO!!

power wise, it wont take anymore than 380bhp, above that the clylinder liners start cracking(too thin), seen it already on quite a few s60r's

Had my Focus ST in there for a intercooler and full exhaust last year. No problems but it was a fairly simple job, gave a decent price and service was good.

Although he did fluff another ST up on the same day when playing with their ecu. Had to swap the clocks and ecu from his demo so the lad could get home. It was a saturday and couldn't get any codes from a dealer. But thats the only thing i've heard of things not going as planned.

If you can put 380bhp (and whatever torque that equates to) down through one/two wheels (depending on how much the lsd locks), then I will eat my Arai!

I also owned a fiesta zetec-s going back 3-4 years and used them for a big brake conversion.
Very good bunch, would recommend them very highly, would have thrown a lot more cash their way but i just bought a faster car instead

I've had some work done by Pumabuild and highly recommend their work and service.
