Differences between the Ka and StreetKa

[dave54]

Can anyone point out the differences between the Ka and the convertible Streetka? Not the body so much but the engine, suspension, gearing etc.

Hi Dave,

 

StreetKa has the same engine as SportKa, 1.6 Duratec, instead the standard 1.3 Ka one.

The gears are much shorter, which is fun around the town, but can be annoying on the motorway. StreetKa also lower then standard Ka, suspension is quite hard. The back end is wider , this gives a very nice gokart feeling. It is very good fun to slide with it on corners and wet roundabouts.

StreetKa has a long list of common faults, give a good look over before you buy any. Parts are cheap and can save the labour if you a little bit in to mechanical stuff.
