Manta Mal Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hi opel-valver, Don't know too much about roll cages, apart from the obvious self protection if it rolls. Sure looks the business and some neat welding going on there too[8D] Mal...OMOC #6022 malalsal@aol.com Start your Manta restoration today........ before it's too late!

opel-valver Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 some picts from the day....... when to my garage and dragged my engine out the corner, fitted my lightened flywheel, forgot to take picts of the two flywheels sitting next to each other, but there was a 5-6mm difference in the back of them, and I could pick the lightened one up with my little finger...... a couple of picts of my exhaust manifolds sitting beside each other, the left side my big bore one and the right the standard one I modified when I first put the engine it......... good bit difference.......hopefully getting the exhaust gasses out quicker.... side pict of the servo extention, could do with a bit of a paint... my sexy new gearbox......... and finaly the engine and gearbox in place, all to do now is get the exhaust on and then wire the car up cheers folks opel kadett 2.0 16v steer from the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 id="Impact">id="size2">id="blue">excellent project mate , building a kadett with an xe myself , think i spoke to you at knock hill last year my mate has the scruffy black Chevette track car , are you selling your old xe manifold as i'd be very interested in purchasing it or if you know someone who can make one up . look forward to seeing it completed and maybe see it up at knockhill playing [}] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 id="size3">id="red">pity about the manifold , but got three xe manifolds in various states so prob get my mate to knock one up for me , also got a wee red kadett c hatch which is going to recieve the manta 1800 with twin 40's out of my coupe when the xe transplant is carried out or i've got an mk2 astra sxi engine sitting which might be another option for the hatch .Got a mint two door ascona sr just crying out for a red top but its too original to play with JUST yet. Typical Knockhill was cancelled at the weekend with the weather just as i'd fitted the 40's to the coupe so roll on the summer as i'm going to be busy !!!!!
