I bought one of the older ka models about ten years ago as a little project....brilliant little cars...go kart like handing and very eager little engines... loved watching this build series... great work as always.

Ka has such a superb chassis, along with the Puma and Fiesta of the same era

Great car to learn motorsport! The ka is a great little car to learn the basics. Many years ago my partner had one and I refused to drive it as it was a ( girlie/granny car) long story short after a day with the ka I loved it. It was just like my 89 1340 fast road spec mini I had at the time. I didnt knock the ka after this

You guys should whack on a 1.6 sport ka throttle body, nearly twice the size of the 1.3 and it bolts straight in par a slight tighten of the cable to definitely improves the throttle response compared to the 2 pence piece sized 1.3 body, really nice thorough work though👍

Just some info if ya don’t know you can’t run abs in the Series but you need the rear connected because that’s what picks up the signal for the Speedo just unplug the front and remove the sensors and that’s all you need to do but the rear sensors need to be still fitted on both sides or the Speedo will not work . See you on track soon

My dad has a Ka laying in his garage, this gave me some crazy ideas ahahahahahahha

[GeorgeAusters]

Never even knew engine bay fire extinguishers was even a thing, that's quality

[ribbo]

I was at Donny in the other Ka (before someone else rolled it!) I didnt realise yours was a new build. Looks like a clean build, didnt know about driving inputs needing to be included in mandatory camera, I shall go re-read the regs! see you on the grid in April!

[stevefinch]

Nice little project bet it'd fun round a twisty track, have considered sport ka as a trackday hack bit more power for a bigger track

[shineautomotive]

half hour in and wrong spark plugs fitted :) are you coming to brands for the sprints ?

[bradleysutherland]

A Ford ka with a fuel filler neck that's not rotten. Jesus ti's a clean en

[PowerBeeKill]

Hey guys ! Am just wondering as I want to stop my Omega 2.5 V6 and start making as a track car . But the main question is will I’ll be able to drive as daily car ? As it’s the only car I have lol

[chrisrawlinson]

Is that an oversight at 8:00? Looks like the hub has to come off(again) for the studs to be changed

[team]

Gas Monkey Garage Yorkshire style. LOL.

[jordanbidmead]
