the new ford ka model? no offense but isn't that shape very similar or based on the fiat 500?

it would be awesome to see someone uprate a new ka. the past model has been modified to a big extent like focus rs turbo engine etc.

i've seen under the bonnet of the new ones and for the space i think a 2.3 duratec would be a massive squeeze! especially considering the gearbox you have to put in there as no doubt the standard box wouldn't take it!

if its true that the new ka is actually a fiat 500 underneath wouldn't it be good to see if you can find an abarth engine maybe? just a thought! be quite a sleeper that!

but if you want to stick with a ford engine its probably best to consider looking into new engine looms etc.

i don't think there are many or any tuners that have touched the new ka yet. well not that i am aware of. but i'm sure some decent tuner or engine swapping specialist can take their time with it. just depends on what you would like done within the time you have?
