yay cheap but awsome manifold. changing the cam to a funner one, 286 apparently wont cut it. also this manifold wont really do much with a cam bellow 300 deg. duration.

Not bad dodger not bad at all.
One question though, How much further does the central pipe hang out as i cant see clearly but looks to be quiet a bit?

Glad to see a update too

i use these manifolds on my race car and road car, used the 296 scatter and swiftune cam with them with good results. the best thing about them is the exhaust note, especially on my race car when theres no system fitted just the manifold and a bit of pipe!
still sounds great with the rc40 tho

I want a go in this monster. Though it will send me into a downward spiral as end up supercharging Mia.

(Yes, I do plan on some kind of forced induction)

i made a mistake by trying to teach the idot in the micra to let me pass as he kept blocking me, listern to the engine note as i ram him (1293, swiftune cam, stage 3 head with rc40)

and this one was from a few years earlier, the little red car number 24, its the loudest one out there and you can hear it right at the very start also im third for most of the race. (1293, kent 296 scatter, stage 3 head, no exhaust system) my bro wins the race in the mustard car (short stroke race engine)


enjoy!

I'd recommend the AGSP from med with that set up, also with cams in this category better getting a billet. As it'll last longer.....modern re-profiling/re hardening seems pretty crap.

Ok il have a look into it. Only thing is that I can return my cam, give them 40 and then i got the 296.

BuT I agree with the billet cams being better!!

Just one thing I have heard. Some people say (may be the normal Internet BS) that reprofiled cams are better because when they are used They bend slightly. When reprofiled the bend is ground out. Any truth to this? Probably doesn't make any sort of difference..

hallo rods.













now, i want to do more to the front end. dont look right... its going to be lower ( no engine in!) but i think i need a bumper on it. either cut slots to fit around the spot brackets or two sections of bumper

and re-chrome the bumpers or paint or what??

photoshop of some black clubman bumpers please!!


AND ignore the seemingly wonkey spot bracket. optical illusion!

Oooh god they are
I think the two part bumbers would look best but colour wise the darker the better really, chrome would over do the car in my opinion.
That shal be all from me

[alex-95]

Looks great, I think a full chrome bumper like your avatar picture would look best, could you not mount the spots differently?

[Noah]

Chrome bumper, no Spots. Not a fan of spots on a clubby.
