sawguy Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi everyone, looking for a little help. Can any tell me the following on a non modify car. Ground clearance, where is this measured at (ground to?)? Distance of the wheel archs to ground (both front and reat) and let me know which tires sizes you have on the car. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hello Sawguy, usually they give the total height of a vehicle, a Manta-A with 1.2-1.6N/S-1.9 engine is 1355mm. Tyres 165 S 13 or 185/70/13 The Manta-A GT/E is 1302mm Tyres 185/70/13 The Manta TE2800 is 1340mm Tyres 195/70/13 Hope I could help you with this info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Did not expect the 6cylinder to be higher than the gt/e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Maybe cause the heavy lump needs more suspension stroke ? Did you know the TE2800 was one of the candidates (together with the Porsche911) to compete to be the new high speed interceptor car for the federal Belgian police? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawguy Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 This helps I guess I will have just do some math to get the distance of the wheel archs to ground. I did find a spec for ground clearance (160mm) but it does not say where to measure points are. Again thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 You pay to become a OMOC member, it is worth it and more for the advice alone. You could get a web membership which is cheaper, the parts I have sourced there is no way I'd have got them without this Forum...met some good people too who went out of their way to help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawguy Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Does the web membership give me the ability to post PICS? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I believe so but best let someone else with a web membership confirm before you part with your cash! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There is no difference between web and full membership for the forum, it cover club events and such etc. I think it would be the best £15 you ever invested in your Manta as there are sections of the forum that are hidden to you currently.
