Default Cosworth KA - 2018.......remembered my log in !

Time for a new project folks.

After having to do a lot of welding when we built B9KOS back up i decided i wanted to build something a bit newer.
First choice was obviously a Focus but with so many conversions already complete and a fair few on the go
i decided it would be good to do something different. Mk6 Fiesta, Focus estate and even a Cougar were
considered before i decided on a Ka




The project has three main components:

1. One Ford Ka shell

3. Someone to do the fabrication work

The problem off getting a suitable base vehicle was solved when i contacted MAD-EVO4 about his ex-track Ka that
he had started to break for spares to start a new project himself.

The plan is based on a completion date of July 2008 hopefully to allow it to 'debut' at either Ford Fair or National Day.


To start with we need to strip all the present running gear and remaining interior out and then transport the bare shell
to Adrenaline Race and Performance to let Danny do the required fab work to enable it to be rwd and YB powered.

Spec

Engine: Standard YB with T34 0.63, L8 with coilpacks, Swedish style plenum and a set of 55lb Siemens injectors.

Gearbox: T5 then hopefully a sequential Mullet rwd

Front Suspension: Adjustable TCAs, Compression struts etc

Rear Suspension: WRC cradle/lateral links set up to enable the rear track to be made to fit the 'Ford Racing' arches.

Brakes: Floor mounted pedal box, APs and vertical hydraulic handbrake.
