    Here you go :D

    Please take into account that I had a bump and couldn't find a prefacelift bonnet and I could only get hold of a white wing. Hence the bent bonnet got bare metalled and the white wing got sticker bombed.

    Here's a few pics of the finished manifold. I made it using a mg zr manifold and crossflow down pipes.

    It still needs cleaning up and rust treating, then ill VHT paint it. Followed by some heat wrap, maybe blue wrap. Would prefer some grey wrap if I can get it :)

    Cheers
    Kev :D

    Really happy with it until I went and looked this afternoon. The paint has srunk between the primer and laquer and left big beige stripes everywhere :(

    I won't be trying to fix it, because its not that bad and its only an engine bay. Its clean, its painted and there isn't any rust anymore. Iam happy with that :)

    That's golf coilovers on there btw

    I have fitted a mk2 or k11 1300 engine with 1000cc lightened flywheel and 5 speed gearbox. The engine is now on twin weber 36 dcnf carbs

    Should make 100+hp which should be fun in a 800kg car :D

    Lol, awesome. Please get rid of the number plate lights, would make the rear much better.


    And I'm loving the gta number plate

    Fancy a race? See what's better 1000cc 8v or 1300cc16v both 100hp but yours would be slightly lighter!

    Iam still tempted to buy your car but iam guessing you want too keep it now?

    Thanks dude. I have these that I was going to put on but I think they're just as bad lol

    bike carbs are fun on these engines, Heres my 1200 with cbr 600 carbs and a reground cam:



    I do want to keep it, the sierra handles like shit compared :smash: but i cant afford to insure 2 cars atm and dunno how long i can keep it sat on the drive. so its technically for sale but i cba to write a for sale ad.

    Here's a vid a I got last night. It sound bloody badass! Rude as fook! But too loud :(

    Almost too loud to film :D you may want to lower your volume first of all.



    I got some 1000cc pistons that iam going to be fitting for 12:1 compression. Also got a spare head to do some work on will do some die grinding and then get the valve seats 3 angled and throw it all together some cams. Will be awesome but the 1000cc gearbox and clutch won't last too long :wack: will put good oil in lol

    Excuse the gay 14 :)

    Then we killed it, found out the little mod for removing the rev limiter and 10k rpm's sounded far to awesomes !
