"I'm still deciding whether or not to fit the 400 mirrors."

I'd just go for the two if I were you...[:o)] Sorry.

My goodness that looks wonderful. I really must get going on my hatch again after Billing.

Cheers,

Joe.

Now that is a very interesting piece of metal you have there Mick.

I'm fitting Calibra turbo calipers and Discs to my V8 next year, got all the stuff now just need to get some machining done to space the hub off of the discs and get the discs drilled and whatever needs to be done to the bloody things

Absolutely amazingly fantastically stunningly bloody sumptiously gorgeous, about time there was focus on a hatch again.

Hatches Rule!

Did those trousers fit 3 years ago when you started?[:D]

Seriously though, mine looks from the pictures very similar to yours - parked up in the middle of nowhere with the bonnet open.[:D]

And in the last picture is see you have run over the little creature from the n-power adverts, hows his blue gas mate going to cope on his own?

Many Thanks

cheers guys, been out in it tonite. im starting to think is a hazard

to other road users. everyone keeps looking at it. behind a guy earlier and he was looking in his mirror and nearly hit the car in front.[:0][:)] dont think id have as much interest if i was in a ferrari[:D] mantas rule[^]

the engines great too, pulls in all gears[;)] and really comes alive at 4000+rpm. hope it survives a day at the track tomoz......

That Manta looks just the 'nuts'

Those arches really suit the hatch shape,i mean REALLY suit the car,overall thats one well sorted Manta,just the right level of modification to improve it looks and performance wise without over doing it.

Love the side on shot of it at speed,thats one for the calander!

I've got piles of all sorts of Manta parts,i might even have something you need!

surplus parts bought,whole cars considerd. M/B 07947 640505

Don't you think it would have been better left standard....[:o)]

Only kidding. That's one cracking car! Roll on Billing.

Cheers,

Joe.

Please log into this site from the Home page folks. It helps to keep it as the first Manta site listed on Google.

thought id see if my measuring was right and see if the r1 carbs and manifold would fit with out moving the servo.

perfect fit even with the K and N filters.

now i know it all fits with no bother im intending to pull the engine out and rebuild it with 288 degree cams, lightend and balanced bottom end with arp bolts, rebord to 86.5mm and some headwork. that should see

around 200bhp before the nos[:D] cant wait[:P]
