zetec turbo ka
well after a fair few years of being on this forum and using it for info and ideas for my various xr"s and rs turbos I fort it was about time I shared what I have been up to with a ka that was given to me last year ... a while back I sold my last rs turbo in a bid to move on from modded cars and think about a house . but its a hard thing to give up so when my cousin asked if I wanted her un taxed and un moted ka I bit her arm off . it was just supposed to be a small project so get it get it moted and taxed and flog it but it has all gone a bit wrong as you will see in the following pics . I got it running got it moted then it sat in my granddads work shop for a while and then I remembered all the spare parts I had from my old cars in my dads garage I poped round and had a look and discovered I had most of the parts required for a zetec conversion and to run it on bike carbs so I got to work

Yer it is pretty quick was lapping brands Indy in 59 and that was pretty smooth driving no late braking ect could probably crack a 58 if I committed a bit more . Few mates do 54 s so I just want a bit more lol
