Hi Everyone,

Recently joined on here so I thought I'd post some pictures of my car up. Yes it is a KA and yes I am a straight male, but I am very fond of it. Had it for over 2 years now (got it when I turned 17) and have made some minor modifications such as debadging the front and sticking some 15" alloys on (with Toyo Proxes). Nothin chavvy, just to improve the look a little, as they look a little feminine as standard. As soon as I get my life sorted out (career!) I will be upgrading.... some say I am mad but I really fancy a IS200!

Fantastic little cars. I can't help but feel you'd have been better off with standard wheels - with 59bhp you really need as little grip as possible to make them interesting to drive! The steering rack/front suspension isn't the most hardy either so i'd question the wisdom of putting more strain on it.

Sorry to say that whatever you do to it, it'll still be completely gay. Give into it and enjoy a fantasticly adjustable chassis. smile

Rob.

Hello. Welcome.

Nice car. I have never driven one but by all accounts they are quite pleasant. The grille and the wheels aren't to my taste though. I prefer the way it would look with some slightly smaller wheels.

Mate, don't worry about the image...IMHO for those who enjoy driving - driving as opposed to boasting about 0-60 times, bhp, ride heights or ICE - these are great little cars.

My girlfirend had one, and I always wanted to drive it.

Good on you for posting the pics.
