spiney_norman Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Looks good mate, I'm more of a mk1 Cav man myself! Looking forward to seeing some more pictures. As Gary said, well worth joining the club, the support and help available is easily worth the £25 a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantaray Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hello and welcome. That looks a very nice motor. Don't worry it's not a manta, we also catter for cavs. as they use the same floor pan as the Manta, they even have there own line up at Billing. We have quite a few members up in the north lincolnshire area so try and drop along to thier pub meet for a good night out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi and welcome. The Cav looks really good on those wheels. You have the same period Alpine head unit as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thats a sweet hatch and nice to see one in that condx, nice camper too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Welcome to our forum.....Nice Sports hatch! Jetex still do an "off the shelf" exhaust system for the Manta B and it is pretty reasonable for the money. The link https://www.jetex.co.uk/jetex/store/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=520 £195 for a Full system (downpipes back) and they are okay quality too. I have just bought one and they had none on the shelf when I rang, so the factory has just made a few more up. Hope this helps keep the beast on the road......you could do with joining our merry band. The best place to get info on what is still available is naturally through the club....hint hint!! All the best. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Howdo & welcome, I joined OMOC a few years ago as it's the best place around for help & info. Nice looking motor. Cor, I've got the same Alpine unit as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
