no way :shock: i have seen these manifolds and plan to get one for my 1800 XE
Dblias do an inlet manifold that gives a claimed 22ps increase. That on a 1.6 would put it up there with the red top wouldn\'t it

j1400: Where can you get a 2 litre conversion for £800. I couldn\'t do it myself cos im crap with stuff like that. Let me know though cos for £800 i\'ll get it done next week!
I\'d like a 2 litre and see what you mean bout the difference between the two.
