Okay Okay

I change my mind more than I don't know what...

RS1800 shell is going to cost too much to sort out, and IMO will be too much hassle for what its worth!

The NEW plan:-

Ford Ka
Manual Steering
Conversion to Cable operated Clutch
Focus ST170 Engine
Rebuilt Derv box, with Quaiffe Diff.
4 Paddle Clutch
40mm Individual Throttle Bodies running Weber ECU
Ashley 4-2-1 Manifold, mated to custom stainless section with 1 box (4" tip)
Cossie Fuel Pump fitted into Ka tank, or tank in boot (undecided yet)
Braided Fuel Hose through interior
Brake Pipes through interior
CustomCages Multipoint 2004 International Weld in roll cage
DIY Front and Rear Strut braces
Adjustable front suspension mounts
DIY Nuclear Spec rear beam
Suspension uncertain, either a decent set of shocks/springs or coilovers
Polybush all items possible
Cosworth Brakes on front, or 300mm MK3 Mondeo setup (but modded to fit 15s also)
Rear brakes, uncertain but will be daft discs and calipers I'm sure!
Escort Brake Servo mod
Flocked Dash
2 x Bucket Seats
Rear 3 windows in polycarb
SportKa Bumpers
16" Ford Sierra Cosworth Rally wheels, prob have to use 195 tyres instead of 205's

etc



Just need to sell a few items, get rid of the RS1800 shell (most likely weight it in) and get Xmas out the way.

On the look out for a Ka, dont want to pay too much for it, but I dont want a total dog!
Willing to do a few repairs on it bodywise, the usual sills, probably the fuel repair panel as all fords!

couple of points. to run adjustable front top mounts youll need coilovers for the reduced diameter..rear brace is part of that cage setup im sure of it. and that cage doesnt give two flies room for a pokey bum wank in the boot. leave the tank underneath

yeah leave the tank underneatj buut that will be something need to be seen when done.

Good points as always

Due to the cage I would imagine I would have to run gay tank!

that wouldn't be HBC website would it?

Homo Bangers and Crappers ltd

yeah that one

As others have said leave the standard tank, internal metal tanks cause sooooo much bother if you want to do anything MSA sanctioned as it will need to have a firewall around it, so if you fit a swirl pot, put it in the engine bay (not that you'll have room!)

Cut the scuttle, so then your trumpets are sat in there, 2 plus', longer trumpets giving more torque and cooler air! Win win! Plus will be lighter what with less metal! Lol!

yeah i got my first fiesta on there, 1.3 flight mk3 £60 with damaged ignition

and a nova 1.4 SR for £30 with an AC hole in the passenger door

Awesome

Depends on how much the Ka's go for at my local one, I might end up paying the £40 and go bidding on some, would be able to push the thing home
