[RSteve]

Was reading up on this on the Speedhunters site which also linked to the build thread on PassionFord.

Rear wheel drive too..mental.

Oh yes please !

 

[DaveDreads]

I bet that would upset a few people on the road,
judging by the lack of dirt and stone chips on the underside I doubt it gets driven. :dapprove:

 

[BigDaveRotary]

Brilliant, but not a fan of the wheels!

Everything else is beautiful.

 

[Hixle]

Love that!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

If I won the lottery, I would have a proper sleeper like that.

Would that be 4WD or RWD you reckon?

 

[Cliocrone]

Not a fan of KA's but this is a Beaut!

 

[Poopensharten]

Christ almighty! RWD aswell... Would have thought it would be more able in 4WD form with having such a short wheel base.

 

[Kane.]

Looks awesome.

 

[GiT]

Some guy in town has a Fiesta Van (MK6) in White, Cossie 500bhp 4x4 and it's a plain as can be. Sheer sleeper. Love conversions like this that have been properly done.

 

[MaLicE]

Sevenside Motorsport did it years ago, a 4wd and a rear wheel drive....also did a twin engine iirc

Ritchie's KA is cool as even better since he also has a sport ka in the same colour to use to bait people. That was its first show as its still not fully finnished that's why it looks so clean but if it's like any of his other cosworths it will get used well.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Erm,

F*ck.

 

[DaveDreads]

Glad to hear it, I can understand keeping it mint for a year on the show circuit then ragging the arse of it.

I don't like trailer queens that only get driven to the MOT garage once a year.

 

[neil a]

Will be interesting to see how long it stays 300 bhp before the big power engine gets fitted from his escort cosworth project.

 

[Steve]

My mate has had one of these ten yrs, spent 10's of Ks on it.
Proper weapon either rallying or trackday.

That looks awesome, one novel thing I love on that is where the exhaust is located, right where the fog light used to be!

 

[Paul.M]

Looks like a great build that!

Stuff pulling up next to that and not having a clue whats in it

[haimsey]

Wow, work of art that!. Nice when conversions are done to such a high standard

 

[Knuckles]

I love sportKAs! this one is incredible

i'm sure the central exhaust was an option for a while on these... and theres an aftermarket kit you can get to relocate it iirc

 

[Knuckles]

LOL!

orKA

 

[d4nmc]

Only 6inches shorter than an escos, I bet this is a superbly balanced hooning machine!

 

[Daz.]

Love that! off to do some reading

 

[JoeyD]

f**king hell, that's PROPER!!

 

[davo172]

Saw this at ford fair the other week Pics dont do it justice EPIC car !!!!

 

[plymcl172]

Not my sort of car but yeah hats off to him

 

[AK]

Holy s**t. Awesome!

 

[Pete.]

Really like that. Hang on my son's got a Ka for sale if anyone is tempted

 

[Tunst]

Not sure it was an 'option' from ford. It wasn't when I got mine in 04. Did want a custom system made up but got rid of the car.

 

[Hixle]

I love sportKAs!

I'm really, really glad it's not just me.

They're so much fun to drive completely standard.

 

[BigDaveRotary]

Not just you. I had a 1.3 KA as my first car, and rallied it around like a hero. It just lapped it up, was great fun.

 

[PP200t]

I loved mine, it was an awesome car just lacked top end power. Should've had a 16v lump in it.

 

[markhinton]

Love it, the Monte Carlo wheels suit it really well, too!

i'm sure the central exhaust was an option for a while on these...

No it wasn't, but there's quite a few owners who have replaced the foglight with an exhaust there. Should have come like that!

 

[Naith]

I opened this and expected Naiths KAllardo

reminds me i must update my thread. cured 6 patches of rust the otherday and added an Alsatian tax disk holder.

this cossie one is ridiculous mind, would love a go.

 

[Christopher]

That's the first Ford I've wanted in a while!

 

[Addicted]

That's the first Ford I've wanted in a while!

Exactly that, I'd love to just roll through town in that!

 

[Gally]

Wow! The exterior is almost perfect! So awesome!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Wow! The exterior is almost perfect! So awesome!

FLOL

Only you could give a monkeys about the exterior on a car that is that sexy underneath.

Its more or less WRC spec rear suspension.
