Transmission was uprated, as were the springs all round when it was lowered. Ran on chrome Revolution 4 spokes with red spokes, and the car was red with a white roof too - dead sexy.

So much room under the bonnet on that thing - working on it was easy as you could in the engine bay, even with the 4 into 1 pipe and twin 48 Webers :thumbsup:

Mate of mine had a capri with twin 45 webbers on his 2ltr capri, some thievin little ****s knicked, bent the bonnet up and had em off it:thumbdown:, he wasnt the happiest person in the world i can tell you:mad:
I do like the look of the revolution 4 spokes, seen em on a couple of autograss cars and they look good when in the right color,. Have any pics of this beast of yours by anychance, would love to see it?

Cant beat a good fiesta though, i think they look a damn site better than the Ka as well, just dont have the funds though at the moment to think about driving, im one of those inconsiderate banger racers and thats qiute an expensive sport.:blush:

My last Fiesta experience was a 1.1 supersport Y reg 1982 ish
Missus and duaghter both run Kas, just old ones but Ka2 with PAS and leccy windows, advantage being I am 6' 2" with 34" legs, and I fit with room to spare, can't drive a fester comfortably at all.

savageman25 21-11-2009 08:16 PM

So i tke it the Ka has a more spacious interior then than the fiesta, fiesta looks alot bigger on the otside.:confused::lol:

Not sure about rears, but I can do 100 miles each way in comfort in one easy, so a lot better than a Fiesta, apart from latest one, or one before with square back, i had a hire one was fine, but was a 5 door diesel ghia though.

Square back? Is that the mk2 or mk3?

No idea on modern ones, was brand new in 2007 in Jersey so whatever they were on then, they made a Fusion hiroof version as well like C-max focus that shape
