KA looks Tough

project_sport · 15-12-2007, 01:30 PM

ya mine is a sport so they came on the car not sure how much they cost new

good if you want to fit maybe 9-10 inch wide wheels at the back and 8s at the front

funny that a few months ago i put up some pics of my ka and seemed everyone said how much they liked it even the guys who dont usually like kas

and as frankie said theres alot more escorts and fiesta's with f'ckin awful body kits on then there are kas

Nothing wrong with yours mate, not seen it before!

Looks good, but then it's nice and simple unlike the others!

I didn't say there wasn't shite escort's and fiesta's around did I!

Plenty to choose from Richie, some with massive gay front bumpers too!

Will be a good little shell when all said and done, you need to lose that fucking rug in your garage though! At least wet vac it!

Dan it was vaccumed only last week, its a class matt, many times I have set fire to it whilst laying on it welding.

I wouldn't lay on it if I were you Trev! 1 There's probably things living on it and 2 I just wouldn't lie down full stop with Richie around!

Any update's yet Sailor boy?

funny as I have been laying on it today

Yes there is an update, im sure rich will oblige shortly

Frankie · 15-12-2007, 06:25 PM

I think it works out about £500ish for the SportKa Bumpers.I think go for the Racing arches,they look fairly standard but will allow you clearance for some bigger wheels if thats what you need.

trevCOSS · 15-12-2007, 06:47 PM

update please

Richie. · 15-12-2007, 06:53 PM

Right first update since we got it home

Firstly went round to friends last night to look at the suspension set up on his Westfield. Ideally i want to use as many off the shelf parts as possible for the bolt on part of the conversion. Looking at the prices the genuine Westfield stuff is very well priced

Rear hub set up

Rear wishbone inboard side

Overall rear suspension view

Spoke to Danny and the plan is to use the adjustable Ledas that came with the car if possible

Then today Trev and I removed the pony 1.3 Duratec. So if anybody needs a engine for their Ka/Fiesta give me a pm

With the engine out, we had a little tidy up then decided to fit the dummy YB in the engine bay to enable us to start working out where the engine will be positioned

Mmmm YB power

Just got to remove brake/fuel lines and the petrol yank and its ready to go to Adrenaline

Nash · 15-12-2007, 07:03 PM

That rear suspension set up is pretty

trevCOSS · 15-12-2007, 07:04 PM

I was just going to say the westfield stuff looks a good option, also I'd like you to note that I work so fast that Im just a blur in that photo

Bullett · 15-12-2007, 07:35 PM

this is gonna be good! will be tail happy but so cool.

Rab · 15-12-2007, 08:39 PM

You mad mad mad mad mad mad mad crazy insane bastard!

You've been too long at sea mate, it's warped your mind

Wider and longer than a MK2 escort, Lotus sunbeam, Westfield.

This car is going to handle very well imo.

DJM KA's are all transverse engines using evo gearboxes and the severn valley one was a zetec, still thats not to say it has not been done before.
