My mrs sportka is having the zetec turbo treatment on it as soon as I get her a new car!

Fantastic sleep pal!

Gavin.

 

Wow, that must have taken a very long time!!

But thanks

Gav, my front end and rad design is copyrighted :P haha just kidding. Good idea, get another girly car with M3 slaying abilities

 

Not sure if you remember me from the good old days of the KA Klub. I use to have Racing KA which I sold to Sy and after that the Red Van Aaken powered one!
Your car looks cracking mate, good job. Bet she goes really well.

You know what it could do with now? a nice grille to subtly say whats under the hood!
Not sure if you have seen the grilles I can supply and they actually would be pretty tight on your radiator by the looks of things but if you want something, I will do you my best deal, have a new supplier which will hopefully be a bit cheaper too.
As long as you still have the original clips it will pop straight on!

Let me know cheers J.

Some old grilles from back in the day......

 

great thread, top work!
think i've seen you on the FK-OC forum somewhere

my hat's off to you fella, brilliant work

 

Thanks guys.. I would have loved one of those grilles.. would be a squeeze. I'll let my brother know.

Sadly the Ka is no more and everything is now going in a Puma simply because I think I can retain A/C & P/S plus it's got a few other bits. I also can't face doing the fabrication work again!

 

Sad to here the ka is no more, was looking good at Trax 2010

Onwards and upwards tho bet your puma will look just as good if not better

 

Ben! It's Craig, long time no speak! You gave me a few pointers when I was building my RST Ka a few years ago. Nice to see how your car progressed. What's happened to it now - has rot killed it?

 

Hello mate!

Ka hasn't rotten (well in some places it started to).. but I killed it lol

All is not lost, cos it's going into a puma

 

thread resurection time lol do you have a link to the puma thread as this one was a very interesting read. Love how you took lots of pictures

 

I never started one on here - there's one over on project puma though. Scary how this was 5 years ago.

 

do you have a link?

Don't think you have have to be a member to view it.

 

thanks ill have a read

 

Very nice - loads of effort! Out of interest what ecu loom did you use converting the KA to FRS?

 

Thanks, I was already running Omex 600 for the Fiesta turbo engine so just adapted slightly to suit FRS. The original Ka ECU had been stripped out along with any redundant wiring.

 

This was my brothers car. The ran omex and the loom was a converted ofac/ofab loom (Fiesta rs turbo). The KA ecu and all associated wiring was stripped out, a dash out job.

Hope that helps.
