hi guys, though i would show you some pics of my new project, i broke my little ka for parts,


but kept some parts of it mainly the engine and ecu!

so i could fit it in this!



been abit neglected over the past few years though!

 

looks better cleaned and with no stickers!





and its engine,

 

looking at the bonnet and nose cone id say they are Tiger parts maybe? Any reason why it was built as a LHD? If you need any help with these go to www.locostbuilders.co.uk

 

why you break the ka ,looked sweet

 

hi craig, its a shawspeed car, used to be raced in the 750 motorclub race series, and im on that website been helpfull, and im sure if i get stuck you give me a hand living in Wakefield like me lol

 

money, and i wanted to go faster and this is the cheapest way! i did love the car though was awesome

 

Its the best thing you've ever done with that KA.... well done, bout time...... good luck with the new project.

 

thanks for your comment

 

Give me a hand wi this and i'll help you lol



I got it to this stage in febuary but then me and our lass bought are first house so the engine got sold to pay the solicitor. Just sat in the garage now feeling sorry for its self lol.

 

I am glad to read it here.

what running gear are you going to be using mate ?

 

its an english rear axle, and a type 9 quaife box, just saving for a tran-x diff for the rear of it

 

Is this going on the road bud or just for track?

 

both, engines runs anyway, but wont rev so im trying to get my head round that, then i just need to tidy it all up fit the guages and get it moted

 

Sorry to butt in on your thread but dont suppose youve got a silver top zetec engine mount left over from your ka? I live close to wakefield so i can come over if youve got one.

 

nope, and it wasnt a sliver top engine either

 

The one thing i love about kit cars is the lack of bodywork and just mechanicals

Great project power to weight will be very good too

Paul

 

Sorry to hear the Ka had to go. Always liked that one. New car looks like fun though

JAmes.

 

yeah its quite scary really, a frame and a seat really, and some fibreglass to slow down broken flying parts from hitting you lol, power to weight is awesome really, well from what im used to should be around 360bhp per tonne

 

Any updates bud?

 

IT LOOKS good mate your doing a nice job there all the best with the build
