Cool

I think the aerial is for the radio control. Bet the sales of the now outdated Impreza are going to go downhill now

Actually - if you stretch the piccie out a bit sideways, looks a bit like a TT



Maybe its where they got their inspiration from for it

Not that I have anything against fords or people that modify cars, but are we to take it from the two pictures :

1. You did put the rear spoiler on the wrong way around.
2. Either you have invested in a new bonnet or the scoop was just stuck on for effect.

Happy motoring

P.S Pimp tints would look good

I myself am new to this forum, and without wanting to get off on the wrong foot, not everyone can afford an Impreza, let alone insure one. If whoever owns this Ford Ka wants to do this to his/her car, who are we to judge? The Ka is a low insurance, low maintenance car, thus is ideal for the younger driver. I do not feel that it is fair to mock the driver's efforts, as let's face it, it's far better than standard, even though the spoiler is on the wrong way. Not everyone can afford Subaru's finest.

Cheers
PHIL

Hi, I admit that that car looks daft, however as we all know only the impreza turbo charged version is worth writing home about. I know of a KA that would destroy most of the scoobs om here, my mate and bro have been on the receiving end and they where driving a 96 wrx and a mr2 turbo respectively. So that car looks crap, but lets face it there may be a reason for that scoop, but that shopping trolley handle spoiler has no need to be there under any circumstances.

Tony - what would be the reason for the scoop? A Ka engine wouldn't be best suited to a TMIC and unless its been bored out to 8 litre I can't see that airlow would be a problem?

To be totally honest, I think a 4wd 280 BHP Ka would be excellent fun - anyone not like to have a go in one?

The scoop is no longer there but it was put on because there is a low pressure area just behind the air filter, having a hole there aids induction, I didn't fancy cutting a large hole like the Rally KAs because the filter would get soaked in the rain.

Having read the RS/Ford area of this BB I now know of a company that may do 4x4 Cosworth conversion so maybe next year it'll be around the 400 BHP mark with the nitrous
