Yeah the manifolds are on www.519automotive.co.uk

they are around £250-£300 depending on how much work is being done and time taken I believe.

Springs are very good, I do a good 40 miles a day driving on all sorts of roads, B roads and A roads and yeah very good for the money. I want it lower but don't want to sacrifice ride comfort and I know adjustable coilovers will be harsher. Will have to see.

Also I stripped out the rear and added my ultra racing goodies.

I have since removed the carpet in the rear and will order the ktec rear mat to tidy up the back end.

Cant wait to get it fitted up. Should see very good gains over standard once I map it.
 
Nice one mate, let us know how it goes. I did fancy that K-tec mat myself but quite pricey so decided against it for now..

the powder coated gas flowed inlets are awesome. Did you get them direct from Jack Kemp at Spead? Top lad is Jack.

Won them on eBay, they were destined for a race spec 200 but the car isn't competing anymore so they had to sell them on and I put a best offer in and won them, over 70 hours gone into them apparently. Upper and lower are matched and the throttle body opened up so should be fun. Yeah Steve and jack kemp....
 
Matched inlets fitted.

Fitted my inlet manifolds today and I love them, instantly feels better and the pick up now is immediate. The old inlet matching is horrendous. Il be porting the other set at work in the race shop so once there done il sell them on here.

Wasnt not to hard to fit at all, I used new gaskets and cleaned everywhere when fitting, noticed the head is cbc bored aswell which is awsome.
