Nice! Definitely not jealous, honest.
Ace if that's a Manta, can't think of the last time I saw one of those.

Did I mention that it's not running the usual power plant...? Currently low boost and circa 320bhp with just over 500 available when wound up.

It's a 2600 straight six - I'm not a Nissan expert lol.
You are a proper, proper f**king c**k tease.
Post pictures of the whole thing damn you.

Think so - colour and spec matches.
Wuuuuut
That must weigh as much as a crisp packet and be utterly mental in the wet.

Looks fantastic, shame the alarm siren is in the engine bay, id have fitted it under the wing so out of the way.

Most of the wiring is hidden in the chassis legs so I don't think there's room lol.

And it's an RB25 engine for those who are up on their JDM toys
My balls were going blue so I ended up finding the facebook page.

I'm reliably informed that it'll eat an Aston N430 comfortably. Standard weight is circa 1100 kg - I'd expect this to be heavier but I don't know exact weight.

And there she is folks. Loved working on this - wanted a Manta 400 when I was a lot littler and even with the custom non-Opel bits I'm glad to have met another hero and not come away disappointed!
Enjoy

No need to get shitty. I'm a detailer not a photographer. You guys I asked, I snapped off my my phone. Proper photos are being put into my website now.
