I want the engine in the classic in line configuration, which would mean a bonnet bulge to rival B9KOS' rear spoiler if the engine was mounted to allow the front driveshafts to line up. There will be no tiger stripes or comedy spoilers and certainly no colourful wheels The only give away externally will be the 'Ford Racing' arches (staying black), privacy glass (to hide the roll cage) and the fact that its will mainly be going sideways

The handling is something that has been thought about alot with the wheel base being approx 6 inches shorter than a Escort/Focos conversion. The reduction in track should help to make it more balanced


The yellow SVM was powered by a transverse Zetec turbo, a Puma front end and ran on 19 centrelocks
and got rote off by its new owner years ago i know as i now have escort cosworth clocks fitted to my dash

Don't think the SVM one was the base for the K9 kit,think the kit came first.

FPMSL at all the shite shite shite pics of KA's lobbed up! Plenty to choose from Richie, some with massive gay front bumpers too!

Can it be made clear that ADRENALINE RACE & PERFORMANCE will NOT be making a "badBOy" bonnet OR fitting a fibreglass snow plough as a bumper. This will be a small balanced car thats being build to perform on track and not halfords car park.

We don't all fit bodykits etc to our Kas. I've seen many a Ford Sierra/Mondeo/Escort/Fiesta/Focus covered in crap too.

Get a bit protective of my girly car
