its an 02 plate one mate, and to be honest it probably is maybe a bit too new to do the project but id rather have a new car that i know has nothing wrong with it chassis wise than an older one.
ZVH is an option. Ive seen a rather tasty looking 3-door in performance ford running a 2-Litre ZVH with the turbo on the wrong side which tempted me for running Zetec Power.
But with the size of the Ka's engine bay wont i have to jus have a Zetec Bottom end on a Fiesta RST Engine and build from there??
I know that FRST engines work fine as standard in Ka's but what would b the tuning possibilities for a bigger engine, id be looking at ugrading the sump to a big winged jobbie and a full bottom end rebuild etc.
What tuners would you recommend for the job guys?? Ill b based around Surrey at the time of receiving the car and starting work so could easily get the car down at base with me n transfer it to a garage.
Either that or do any of you know of a tuner in Scotland that is Ford Specialist i can take her to get the work done??
