Dude, you can certainly be proud to say that, you own this car! I WANT IT!! Always had a soft spot for the mk1 Manta, but this is something else!

Wanna swap a Starion for it

Mikko · 07-12-2006, 23:02

And project part, next winters to do list.

-Electic power steering from Corsa B
-Engine rebuild, changing C36NE pistons to Wössner forded ones, comp ratio goes from 10,3:1 to aprox 12:1, hoping to get some more bhp.
-Rollcage
-New seats and belts
-Stiffer springs to front and coilovers to rear.
-Rebuilding an LSD

That is same block that Omega A 12V, 24V block has some minor differences, 24v is impossible because finnish laws. Allthough that´s not really better than good ported 12V head, lighter it is...
