Nice find. Didn't know that existed, must have been taken while I was walking round the show as the bonnet is shut. This video was taken at Cars in the park in Leamington spa last year. The BMW 1602 next to mine belongs to a good friend and an ex manta club member. As Chris B mentioned, the car is heavily modified, running : 2.5l Vectra V6, R28 Omega box, custom mounted 4HA Scimitar axel with LSD, connected to the box via a custom prop. There is a full build thread on here in the project section under, Work starts on the mk 2 , V6 A series

Yes has a GTE tank fitted

Yes that work well.

Currently have my Manta A insured with you. Very happy.

Was looking at your car today at Vauxfest, looks very tidy. I was in the in the burt orange A. Where are you based? We have a monthly meet up in Leamington Spa if your not too far away.

A few of plan to go down on Sunday.

Yes , 22nd 23rd and 24th July. Last day to prebook for discounted tickets is 17th.

Try and get another one. First new one I've seen in years.

What date is Trentham, may be interested.

Think I have one, but will need to have a look.

Vectra B Manifolds offer the lowest option.

3.2 engine is fly by wire throtal, so a bit harder to wire up. All the 2.5, 2.6, 30 and 3.2 V6 engines use the same engine block, it is just the intack system that differs. I have fitted Omega 3.0 engine to both A and B Manta's, but the Omega intake sits a bit higher than the Vectra one I have used in my car. Personally I think the Vectra system is the best looking.

I'm running a V6 Vectra engine in my A, love the power and not too hard to install. You will need to make some custom parts: Sump, Manifolds, exhaust system, engine mounts off the top of my head. I have the full wireing pin outs available if you need them.
