I can offer these inlet manifolds for the general public if requested. It will be 100% custom made to the customer requirments.

N.B you need to relocate the alternator for this manifold - I have made a custom bracket to fit where the a/c used to be using a smaller alternator.

Its a fidly job but the rewards will be great im sure!

This manifold is to my design but is not made in house - I work closely with a genious fabricator who does all my ally work on my car.

Michael is right, it has an MOT and it has competition car insurance - all it needs is tax :mrgreen:

It not going to see many public roads though in all honesty.

Its all up and running now, just got to get it mapped... got the nitrous bottle filled and picked up 50litres of some special race fuel on tuesday :twisted:
