That sounds cool man.
Theyre enjoyable cars true enough. Some get a lot of enjoyment drifting, and some maintaining and improving.
Truth is, its hard not to like/love em once they get under the skin.

See how long you last lol. I bought mine with the intention of skidding/modifying it, but some others didn't, Nimminz is a good example and slowy but surely he's 'messing about'. lol

When i was looking for my 300, i was planning a satin black rattle can paint job, welded diff and chopped springs. But i found my GLT, in really good condition, low milage etc. etc. So then i thourght I'd keep it standard i.e. complete showroom look, but now its slowly getting some mods and thrashing round roundabouts.
Whatever you choose to do with it, put some pics up on here!

well i got some lowering blocks and looking at other stuff for it lol and me and a mate of mine woz haveing a good look round it at work and seen that the injectors look the same as a vauxhall 2.0 16v c20xe/redtop so we fitted them and it goes a lot better

O RLY? That's rather interesting, but seeing as I've just gone carb it's not much use to me Any idea what the flow rate is on the XE ones? The LE-jetronic system on the 360 is too dumb to compensate for changes like that, so you've probably got lucky with the AFR.

well there are blue ones i think thay are 2.0 bar the creams ones are 1.5 bar and yellows are turbo ones c20let if this helps and the blues come on the the c20xe without a dissy and the creams on the one with a dissy
filthyjohn wrote:Cheers, my XE runs about 0.2 bar but that's because it has bike carbs, much better than that SFi stuff IMO.
are u useing a coil pack as there is no room for a dissy on a manta we have got lots of c20xe bits at work as me and my mates have but them in nova's corsa's
Yeah Megajolt igniton with F*rd EDIS and coil pack. Seen other mantas that have had their heater matrix area chopped out to fit the dizzy and it looks awful. Dizzyless FTW! Have you got a spare XE bottom end/weber manifold/cams/fancy head in your spares pile? Looking to build a better one over the winter.

^ Its frickin scary, I'll tell you all that much.
Maybe its the noise, maybe its the static belts that dont fit round my gut, maybe its the barely tethered power. But it scared me.
