Kashman Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 That must be rapid.... I would love to see a 2jz or a 1jz in a manta Quote
®evo03 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Yep seen borh, also a rb25 skyline, and e46 m3! Remember this car, or very similar years ago! Search manta 400! Was this originally a rallycross car or something? Quote
MANTAMAN Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Followed Rallycross for 30 years and curiously there has never been a Manta competing in the UK, they were/are not very common in Europe, here's one seen in a recent YouTube video that competes in the Belgium Rallycross Historic/post Historic Championship, this is when the championship visited Buxtehude, Germany - Unfortunately there is only a few seconds of the Manta in the Video, a least it's a great shot of it 'doing a Kevin Erikson', round the outside and into the lead ! 1 Quote
®evo03 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Nice find Ian, yeh they are a little expensive to be rallycrossing now!, but the above would be ideal, maybe better if it had a jag axle, or a healthy appetite for welded opel diffs, would be ideal if there was a half decent championship in your area, guessing it would be modified heats. Saying that, with alot of hard effort and detailing, it could make a nice road car, again! Solid roof too! Quote
H-400 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Check this out: https://nl-be.facebook.com/Rallycross-Team-Severeyns-829285693811093/ hate to see those old Opels being trashed but they do some nice work also, one of their cars not for rallycross (left): 1 Quote

®evo03 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Anyone see this advertised before maybe engineless and it was red and white, photographed sitting in very long grass, advertised as a 400! Few yrs back! Maybe white weller wheels! Quote
mantasrme Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 think the engineless one was a different car, but its been a while Quote
