Im puttin a RS 1600 TURBO Lump in this lil baby in November  And Well just thought i would show you lot, before im on Santa Pod tryin to get my best 1/4mile time. By then, this car will be stripped out, 2 buckets, as ive got a missus so i need to  . What you think, just cause its a Ford Ka, its a waste of time?

At the end of the day, do what makes YOU happy. Is it worth it from a £ - performance ration or worth you buying a fast car in the first place or are you emotionally attached to your car?
If it makes you happy mate then go for it and dont listen to what anyone else says, cos they arent you

You said you have over 15 grand in the bank. MY advice is get a proper car rather than waste money on making a ford ka go fast. What about a mark 4 golf gti or something??

I understand you want a quick car which is fair ebough and you only live once and all that but if i had £15k there is no way i would buy a ka and do it up for many reasons. Good luck with it anyway

hmmm, why do you need the cossie management? Exactly how much power do you think you will require in a Ka? I don't know where you think you are going to put the rads and chargecooler required for that spec. You'd be better off getting a ZVH conversion, or slam an RS1800 engine in there and chucking some TBs at it.

I never said it couldn't or hadn't been done? I just can't see the point. There are some better ford engine conversions available for the money you will waste bringing an RST engine up to scratch.
