rob Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 hi all i have just thought of a really mad idea that could possibly work- well..... get a standard 1300 ford ka remove the 1300 lump replace with an 1800zetec - mondeo engine-with a port and polished head- and i high lift road cam - then get a gearbox from a sierra(if this will work on the 1800 engine- then get the sierra prop shaft get it cut down and get a 105-100e rear axle and diff so it will be rwd!- well more power? well thinking about it there will be no where near enuff room for a turbo of a descent size so do you either make a cut out on the bonnet for the turbo(bad idea as it will nack up in no time) or do you get a supercharged!- -with a striaght through pipe fitted into either a 3" round cherry bomber exhaust or a 3" round peter lloyd rally exhaust now the bodywork--- spray panther black- imperial blue or frozen white with the rally arche extensions then with the 10mm wheel adapters then fit the rs 7 spoke brookland capri alloys then lower it 1-2mm or as much as possible with out it looking daft or without cuasing probs- then wilwood 4 pot calipers with greenstuffs brake pads ,discs at the rear (find a way of fitting them)with bmw 3 series brake disc ,grooved and drilled discs all round- then buy the reaco seats from a rover 800 vittese and have them re-covered in black leather with coloured piping to match the car- with the ford bad embossed into the head rest or have the ford badge sewn in- with KA at the top of the seat then reacro just under that in little fancy italics writing- then rear seats- take out the originals get the foam reshaped on the bottom and the back so they have a slight smooth curve- then get them recovered to match the front seats with head rests mounted in the back-door cards and the rear door cards- have these made from mdf- covered with black vinyl- have some 12x9's fitted with a good sound system fitted- then have a cat 1 alarm n imobiliser fitted obviously there is a few things i have missed out as it would take too long to say this is just the creation in motion rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Sounds like a good plan. You going to do it? There is a man on another forum at the moment who has succesfully put a Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 V6 engine in the front of his Ka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 yeh i sure will it will be a while before its done tho - also ive the seen the black ka its on my ka.org did that ever get finished?? when i saw the fotos of the work he had done - fitting it and moding the dash etc i thought if it works he might as well fit wings to the side an claim it a plane! lol rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikarma70 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Sounds like a good plan. You going to do it?There is a man on another forum at the moment who has succesfully put a Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 V6 engine in the front of his Ka. i seen the video's of the car he did....the saying ''a wolf in sheeps clothing'' comes to mind,love to see that ka fly away and leave bigger cars behind i reckon imperial blue is a gorgeous colour,wished mine was that colour :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yea, total street sleeper. Imperial Blue is an awesome colour. I'm sure Seven Valley done a 4x4 Cosworth Ka a few years ago too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 yes i read about the 4x4 cosworth ka - the last i heard was that it just wouldnt work properly without extensive mods to the engine bay then strenthening the front end..... but that was a while ago tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 done a little more research - if i modifiy the gerar ratios in the 5 speed sierra gearbox to get it to do 60mph in 1st it will crack 160mph by 4th gear! as i have just spoken to a gearbox specialist who builds boxes for a living ! oohh!! also the suzuki sj running gear 4wd system can be made to fit in to the ford ka so- acceleration will be mad!- it should shift!!!- and also the supercharger i was planning on using wouldnt fit because of the room left for the oil feet to the charger itself would be in the way so its either a supercharger or no brakes lol- but i could fit a t2 garret turbo ! but i will have to modifiy the original bonnet some what - make a buldge in it somewhere for it to fit. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
