lol they're ming.

manta's are tight for space with xe/let's, can only assume thats why it has funny arrangements.

yeah, i suppose so, either that or its a non standard turbo, tubular manifold, and the TBs are upside down to make the throttle cable look tidyer

bet it goes well either way

probably, think they are...just not as good looking, well suppose its not the worst. needs new rear arches (half fitted) and some patches on the roof done, the rest is pretty good. its got a good 2.0 cih in it with some unknown engine work, got a cam of some sort, 4 branch etc, certainly goes well. got a mint recaro interior for it too (the early chequered one, like the nova sport).

yeh they are pretty much the same and u use the same 1.8 manta mounts for an xe!!
But there is so much fiddling about when u put them in there and all a bit of a bugger to line up!!!
