Yes I know :gay:

But i had a blast in a modded Sport Ka today & gotta say, its easily a close comparision for a Nova GSi/GTE! So much so, ive been looking through the PH & Autotrader at ones for sale!

God knows what there like standard but modified there fapping ace fun, like a Nova, point, foot down, go. Light & pretty nible things with 90 some odd horsepower as standard there possibly one car on the very short list of now cheap cars that can easily be compared to a Nova IMO. RST engines fit in them dead easy to lol

That is all.

The other half has a ka (better old shape) and they handle like hell. She actually traded her 206 gti in for it. lol we've been looking into the 1.6 but they seem high milers for the prices.

Normal GTi or the 180? If its the normal old GTi i dont blame her lol

And why do the Sport Ka's whine like a straight cut aswell?? Make a reet mad sound :S but the bird who owned it was adamant theyve not got any form of LSD or trick box :S

Southie
26-09-09, 10:11 PM
Twas a normal one lol yes it had a rear axle problem and exhaust snappage lol

I'd noticed the whine on the one we took out but thought the gearbox was fecked so gave it a miss ooops. Must admit they go like stink I'm even considering one myself lol

Meh the normal 206 GTi is sheet anyway, ive been offered one for £500 ex Cat D as the chap cant seem to shift it lol

Yea the lass's one i drove was whineing a good 'un which made me think its funked at first lol your missus had any issues with the alarm on her's yet? Apparently there sensitive as fook an prone for funking up now an again (happend today to me at a petrol station lol lol oh the shame of it! Birds motor, uber loud alarm going off)

Easily a GTE/GSi contender dont you reckon? If i had the space I'd happily have one!

Yer you will need one of those baxter, street cred is uber low when driving a Ka

Southie
26-09-09, 10:20 PM
I'd have one all day long tbh lol good god I'm a poofta lol They handle better than any nova as standard, power steering, leccy windows and the alarm of 50 whiling coyotes and you can get plenty of parts cheap and there are plenty in the scrappers. Yes the alarms loud as it woke the whole street up the other night making all the dogs in the area bark lol

Mike
26-09-09, 10:23 PM
Thank fcuk lol i though id broke the alarm key fob thingy.

Nick, it had tinted windows so thankfully not many could see my face.
NBC, do you know if they all come with leathers?? One i was in had black/blue stitch leather an AirCon, limited model or some sheet like that but had the old style dash (apparently??)

EDIT: Nick, cant be as bad as co-owing a ragtop MX5 lol lol

Southie
26-09-09, 10:28 PM
The one we went in had the blue black leather and all the goddies. As regards to the dash it was the same as we looked at ones that were two years old.

Shame they didn't do the scrappage scheme on secondhand cars or the nova would have been a cube lol Back to standard of course ;)

Edit: I'd drive at night lol

If I told her that a RST could go in she'd cut my knackers off. lol

2.5k seems cheap. The one we looked at was near £4500 and had 40k on the clock.

The RST engines go into a Sport Ka but you have a faf about with the mounts she was saying. Where as they slot straight into a normal Ka (as in non Sport model)

She paid about that £4.5k mark for hers at 25k tho, if your only going to strip it to bits a high miler dont matter tho. Got me thinking tho, get a high miler, ebay the Sport Ka interior which ive been told fetch;s premium £ an slap an RST engine in one lol

Maybe one day ehh along with a lot of other projects id like to do......

Well after driving her Sport today, thats all ive been thinking about TBH.

Hers was cammed, bluechip exhaust or bluefin exhaust?? Coilovers of some sort, cossies brakes, ST rear disc's an a few other things, went really fecking well & handled brilliantly too. Really got me thinking though.

AlexW
26-09-09, 11:37 PM
lol Shut it you two, leave me and the tigra out of this :p

It takes a man to drive a tigra, about the only thing, need a woman for everything else, woman generaly have smaller hands, perfect for fixing loose earths down the back of the engine (I forgot to do one up when i rebuild it... wasnt my fault it died at the side of the road)

Oh and mike i always perfer it in ;)

Ps: My tigra is problery no slower than your nova mr NBC and i has aircon, and comfy seats, you have a window and a couple of bits of wood?

My misses had one, my mum has had 2 and my sister had a Street Ka (which my mum now has! Did a swap with my sister for her Street Ka.)

I drove the Street Ka to brighton recently (with the roof down, Kylie/Girls Aloud at full blast and my best shades on lol)...

.....and i was shocked at how reasonably quick it was. Fairly juicey mind. I said to my mate who was with me, makes me want a Sport Ka even more TBH, stick on a 'charger and i reckon it would be a fookin hoot!
