Fiestas as well, just they are a bit harder to do on the ka thanks to the engine being crammed in quite well.

It changed mine on my puma (it happend after going over a bump abit quick
Cost 20 quid and litterally 3 minutes on my puma. That is it. Its done 100k and its had a cambelt kit change in its time and thats it (bar regualur oil chance and wear and tear items).
1st gear is shit (limiter on the box like a starlet and aparantly can be removed by unplugging the senor but speddo dont work in first) hence wank 0-60...
...but once you in 2nd, the do pull quiet hard.

brakes - just run them in on track.
I find it easier bedding in brakes on track that road. Safer anyway!
braking from 100+ to 10 repeatedly isnt very wise on public roads

Four 6x16 and four 6.5x16
Tyres are all for the fire.
Thinking about R888 for one set and something suitable for wet for the others.

Yeah tried that but there's actually no coating on them now. They're looking a bit better.

Don't these have the same engine as the FRP, with a couple of differences like the exhaust? If so then 155bhp shouldn't be too difficult to reach! That coupled with the excellent handling should make a great track car!
