Who said KA's have to be slow?

[waitey]

First of all i would like to point out this is not my car, nor did i help with any of it!

This car belongs to a crazy welshman who was on a KA forum i was on with my previous car. Enjoy

Last time i saw him was at fiesta in the park and told us it was built for around 350-400bhp iirc, however now his response to power is "no idea!" i hear :lol:

Why cant we have a madman like this in the twingo scene? Has anyone looked into engine conversions out of curiosity?

I admire people like this. Just doing something completely stupid! I'd love to see the face of drivers in 'quick' cars he dusts off in his little Ka!

I've always want to do something like this. I am pretty much useless when it comes to spannering but it would be a awesome way of learning.

Off to fine a old shed on eBay

Many, many years ago when I lived in Croydon, there was a Reliant Robin called "Knight Rider" which was alleged to have a Rover V8 motor in it. Went like sh*t off a shovel but wasn't so good on the twisty bits :lol: :lol:

It's a ka............... End of discusting cars !!!!!!!!!

 

[maggi200]

I dont think the issue with the ka was a lack of speed. It was designed to be cheap to buy and run!

The issue was how quickly they rotted! My old fiesta was exactly the same

yes i have, a 172/182 engine will go in one but it will be a big job and some things will need relocated.
i was quoted nearly 3k and i had to supply the engine

i want someone to build a twin engined, 4wd twingo and go completely nuts with it. would be epic!!!

Twin-Go!
Twin F4RT would be cool as hell, kinda like the C2 2V6....but not Citroen :lol:

Thing is you can pick ka up for only a couple of quid now so they do make cheap projects. Once the twingos are worthless people will dump big engines in them. Just got to wait.
