Default my first car

ok admittedly its not an RS, and it has only just about got the power to move itself but its my first car and im only 17, the insurance didnt like it wen i sed it had wide arch's let alone that i wanted to put an rst lump in it so its having to stay pretty much as it is power wise at the moment

was completley standard when i had it, any comments welcome here are a few old pics first












still gota be lowered yet and currently sorting out some big brakes

you wanna try telling your insurance company that your 1.1 fiesta has all fiesta turbo kit/wheels/interiour (everything but the engine, which was sat in the garage)...

nothing screams high risk like fiesta turbo ... that was my first car... shes still floating around somewhere

thats a tidy lookin Ka though mate...well done

im 6ft 2 and find it easy enough, although constantly getting in and out of westfields at work is slowly doing my back in now lol.

there isnt much room though, boot is small even without a sub, and no room in the back, but thats a good excuse to save weight by eliminating the passenger problem.

it aint too bad for a car that originally cost Ł300, and that was including a Ł150 head unit lol.

couple more pics here.




waaaay too high at the moment though





mods are....

exterior
ford racing arch's
bonnet raisers
colour coded boot handle
sport ka n/s rear light
clear side repeaters and front indicators
mesh front grills

handling
oz super t gt wheels with 195/45/15 toyo proxes t1-s tyres
20mm ford racing rear stub axle spacers
10mm front wheel spacers (still to be fitted)
will have gmax shocks and springs when i get round to it

engine
kent cam kit
puma throttle body
decatted manifold
dastek unichip
pipercross panel filter
cold air feed pipes from behind the grill to bottom of air box
fse boost valve

all still to be fitted as i cant afford to have it put on the rollers yet to have the chip mapped in and would rather just whack it all on in 1 go, although it will still be dog slow

Tell them your Ka has a turbo engine and its cheap as anything to insure cheaper than a 1300 in some cases


Cool car Ben, Ive got a soft spot for Red Ka's
