daverwd Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks i need to practice my computer skills .. putting up pic's not my strong point..

Volksdevil Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 What interior are you running Dave? If it's the earlier cheque stuff then it's my ideal Manta It is anyway tbh whatever interior it's got! Any more pics? Kit looks to be well fitted. What suspension too? Planning to lower or leave it?

daverwd Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) yeah its the burbury interior.. i have lowered it by 30mm but it doesn't look very low, so think i will be changing them for a 40mm set.. or have i done something wrong cause a 30mm set should look lower .. shouldn't it ? Running bilstein all round & as for the well fitting kit that took hours & hours & hour & hours & hours & hours & hours , but it looks the part now..

daverwd Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 The Total opel site seems to be down at the moment for repair or upgrade,... it will be back online later in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta3000 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) excellent looking motor,i reckon mine will take at least till next summer looks like it could go down another 30mm? quite a gap yet, maybe someone will know better,are gte spring kits lower than normal to start with,so maybe uprated ones dont lower as much as u think?just a thought colin Edited September 3, 2011 by manta3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Possibly useless fact but Sean Hovell told me standard GTE front springs are the ones used for the 400 rears. He had my NOS ones off me for his 400. Great looking car by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksdevil Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Quick Photoshop for ya. It took me a while because I ended up in a bit of a trance just looking at the pic when I'd done lol. Its probably down another 25 or 30mm in the pic? maybe too much really, but that's how I'd probably have it sat.

daverwd Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Have lowered the car by 30mm already & i agree it needs to drop at least the same again , but 60mm or 70mm lowering kit dosen't seem realistic to me for a manta .. .. What am i missing here lads? .. I have seen the odd manta 400r at shows and they all seem lower than mine, can anyone shed any light on what these guys are using to lower their cars..

monzta Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 30mm springs and a angle grinder perhaps? I think it looks good. A i400 is not a street racer, it´s a rallycar and i like the high suspension on those cars. 30-40mm springs are plenty in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks i need to practice my computer skills .. putting up pic's not my strong point.. The car is standing me a small fortune , running c20xe , R1 carbs , vented front disc's & a rallytech bodykit. Wow what a great looking car, if I get mine half as good as that I will be very very happy. It might cost a bit, but if like mine when I see it, it always puts a smile on my face.

manta3000 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 not a fan of cutting springs,better to buy,correct ones,although can be costly in not happy with results,also alters spring workings colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
