Hi,

I'm fairly new to this forum. I've owned a couple of Fords now (Mk2 XR2 replica and a Focus Black) but have now decided, being a student, to be all sensible and get a Ka. It drives remarkably well, however I can't help but feel the need for improvement. (I am doing a degree in Automotive Technology after all! )

I was wondering what could be done realisticly on not too much of a budget to make it a tad more powerful and better to drive. Lowering springs seem a good place to start, and maybe flow the head. After running my Mk2 Fiesta on a Weber, and loving the throaty roar, I've got the craving to ditch fuel injection for a carb. Is this for the Ka? I'd need to find a new manifold but wouldn't know where to start.. Any other inputs or suggestions to turn this into a real fun run-around would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

James
