kicking out a whopping 60 bhp and 105 torque!

its not bad in all honesty and saves me money which is going towards a cossie!

only prob is white is a bugger to clean - took me flipping ages to do today in the bastard cold!

 

just wait till you start polishing it


btw looks fair enough to me as a runabout

 

on its hole with mondy si 16s. would look mint!!!

cheep as fook to run tho!

 

never seen a white one b4 apart from the bt van versions. looks alright. put some alloys exhaust and spoiler on it and would look great

 

it was a bt demonstrator car thats why its white, good spot! if you look at the slam panel you can see it used to be silver.

only mod id consider is putting the KA alloys onto it as i want a completely normal car to run about in. i love driving past the police and for the first time in my life being completely legal!

im not looking forward to polishing it - i bet i leave half of it on the car as cant see where ive been!

and yeah it is cheap as chips - 60 mpg - im loving that!!

 

how much did it cost ya

 

2800 with only 17,000 miles on the clock - cant complain!

 

thats alright aint it, especially that cheap with such low miles

just whatch that speedo wont ya mate

 

i will mate!

its not fast but it runs away from you more than the RS! i couldnt believe i almost sailed through a speed camera on the way back from picking it up! the exhaust is quieter at 90 than the RS is on tickover!!

 

that's a posh runaround mate i have a 100 pound sierra 2.0 ghia it's probably the most reliable car i have ever had but looks shit. it was 150 but i sold spoiler for 50

 

Getting worried about u mate first a fester now a ka

 

Looks like an ideal car to go to your favourite gay dogging place again matt

 

not a bad car mate

 

thanks rhys - the idea is to be as girly as possible - will even up against my manly 3 door when i get it!

& thanks kris you big girl! at least i have some wheels to get me to the RS meets now!

 

Its a gem mate. I would say you have achieved the girly thing! ha ha

 

105 torque???????? your doing bloody well there then cos mine only puts out 86lb/ft (if i remember the rolling road day right)

glad to see you;ve come to the dak side, just dont call 'em girly alright!!!!!!

 

nice motor, reliability, insurance bliss, fuel economy bliss, stressless motoring good price too!
105lb/ft come as standard in ex bt ka's

 

yeah yanrs, thats all the reasons i bought it and enjoy driving it!

well it says 105lb/ft torque in the handbook, dont really thrash it so dont really know if it lives up to it!

and insurance is a joke! had a premium of 900 on the frst mods included 3000 miles. changed to the ka half way thru the year and the rebait is only 24quid!! that is for umlimited mileage tho - and dont care as had a quote for next year at 400 fully comp!!

 

Yep unusual to see a white one!
I have one too....................and may i add if anyone is interested it is for sale. 1998 with 53K £1650 if anyone is interested??

 

keep it! sell the cossie!!

after looking at a few before buying mine id say that is a pretty good price you asking - must get lots of interest!

 

It's not been advertised yet but will be soon! Anyone want it?

 

You just need one now for the other foot

Looks nice, I had an S reg one when it was a year old. nice little cars

Surprising easy to get them up on 3 wheels though

 

Nice little motor you got there mate

My missis has one, i sometimes have to drive it about, puka little cars

I think they handle quite well - they're like little go-karts

 

lol at 3 wheels! so far im quite impressed with the handling but dont like to push it! im used to having a RS where too much right foot means something breaks or a pipe blows off!

and i dont think its seen more than 4k revs in its life as bought it off a 70 yr old bloke!

 

i went in it the other night and its screaming out for a cosworth conversion and possibly 4 wheel drive. do it matt you no you want to.

 

watch this space!

 

I cant wait

 

yeah right - no way im paying cosworth money for cosworth power when the outside wont be as sweet as the engine bay! might as well get a saff!

 

They love a good ragging!

Mine used to to do about 95mh flat out, and with no rev counter, I just used to rev mine till valve bounce!! But they dont like toooo much abuse round the twisties, as mine used to bubble the powersteer fluid quite often

 

sounds like you had good fun finding the limits with yours! i know what you mean about no rev counter - first car ive had like it and its a bit weird just guessing when the limiter is going to come in!

im yet to find the limits with mine, has a book figure of 92 but it was quite happy cruising down the road at 90 the other day! i dont push it hard often, honest!

 

stick a rev counter in the air pod gap, these buggers rev to about 6 grand

 

just need to do that and a water temp gauge and it will be looking like a normal car!

i miss that gauge as it will probably be too late by the time the water warning light is on!

 

Limiter cuts in at about 30 in 1st,50 2nd,80 3rd I think 4th hits around 100 if I remember right.Never hit the limiter in 5th but it ran out of puff at around 115 downhill with the wind behind it.

 

oh no the modding has begun!!

check out my bufty strut tops!!
