over the last year or so on and off i ve been building up my little ka!
it started off as a 1.3 style bougt brand new in 2002, took it off the road 18months after buying it and have only recently got it home, ( due to laziness really)
here are a few pictures
took the old 1.3 endura out with fuck all miles on it and sold it on ebay for 450 quid
bit of rain didint stop us
new engine in
some decent brakes up front
some nice injectors
an intercooler ment for a 200 sx
Roller bearing T25 from turbo dynamics
Mounts from a ka rally car
Nice alloy rad from Graham at grs
made a pod for some gauges using my old passenger air bag cover
some new alloys
rear discs from a focus st 170
spome of these for good measure
some work needed to fit the intercooler nicely
Thanks MSD
New 2.5" exhaust
servo and master cylinder conversion
old
new
at the end of all that you get this
its currently running around 200- 220bhp estimated
i also have a 2.1 zetec to go in after x mas
hoping for 280-300 with new engine!
hope you like

This annoys me I'd build one if I had the space/time/money/expertise.
