Track car thats a bit unusual (Updated pics) 56k BEWARE!!!!

Superb. I have a load of info' saved on here about that conversion and the 1.7 conversion too, always fancied a bash at it but now I have Nicole. :smiley:

Top work mate, always like the Ka and I bet that one will be stupid-fast. What brakes are you going with?
 
I have too much? haha says the one with clubsports :tongueout:

Can you sort it so it is embedded into the post? thanks :smile:

You would have had Clubsports if you could have got rid of yer V3s for a decent amount :thumbsup:

We have one semi-modified car, you've got pretty much 1 hardcore car (KA) and one pretty awesome little road racer (200).

So I win that argument :liambo:
 
minter, put a 1.8 16v in my mk3 escort about 3 wks ago after not using it for 11 yrs, before that it had a 176 bhp carb turbo in it and 10 mls to £10 of fuel was no good even all those years ago !
 
Very nice, Ka is a brilliant little tool so long as the rot stays away. I would love to but an ITB'd 1.6 Zetec-SE in one, but I guess the Zetec-E is that much cheaper.

Is it a 2.0?

You familiar with Jamie Rigby's Zetec engined XR2? He gets great power out of that.

No idea couldn't even guess if I'm honest :thumb1:

Thank for all the comments :thumbsup::thumbsup:

yeah lucky enough the shell is mint (was my nans before) and only done 17000 miles.

Yeah 2.0 blacktop on ATP throttle bodies with a custom 4-2-1 manifold and exhaust and omex ecu :group:
 
Standard trim back in the summer of 2008

The exhaust fell off one day when mum was driving so after ordering a mongoose replacement it was fitted

comparing to a standard ka exhaust:

And then it had gaz coilovers all round which helped massively with conering and then a BMC CDA filter and that was the end of it on the road so it went into the garage:

It was a 1.3!!! when I tracked it before. You don't need loads of power to have fun! just a good chasis and suspension setup!!!
 
I was 16 when I started with this car!! hence a lot of excitement over some small things I copied most the pics from a ford forum just straight copy :smile:

Hope you've enjoyed!!!
