my old man loves mantas. He's had 5 i think, last one was a white GTE Exclusive, but he's had a couple of blue ones and even a berlinetta. Got loads of old models of them, serious rally machines!

Hard to say how much James, the man hours alone were huge. He did most of it himself. The engine rebuild was done by a mate too. The kit would have been the longest part, getting those arches to fit properly, and to be sharp is a real skill.

His brother in law is building one that is almost identical, only on throttle bodies instead of turbo. Can't wait to see that finished.

Then we can have some proper drifting fun.

280bhp might not sound awesome, but this thing probably weighs about 200 - 300kg less than an R26!

OR equivalent to an R26 with 330bhp!
