How do you find the k-tec manifold?? What were the results in terms of torque etc?

K-tec manifold is actually a Supersprint 4-2-1. I can't really say if it makes much diference because it was fitted at the same time as the cams and headwork. It does make a lovely sound and is much lighter than the original cast manifold.

I've heard people complaining about it cracking very easily, but I've had mine for nearly a year and 18000km and no problems so far.

you don't sit on the right side, you sit on the right side (left ) thats why theres no driver in the picture

I keep forgeting you guys drive on the wrong side of the car :P :P

That event was at a go-karting track...very tight, so every inch counts

Just dropped this off at the bodyshop:



It's a double skinned fibreglass one, very light, I'd say roughly 5kg. I'm having it repaired it and painted the same colour as the car to keep it looking tidy.
It uses the original mounting points, but i'm going to use 2 bonnet pins to keep it stable. Should be on the car in a few weeks :D

Also had a Laguna brake master cylinder fitted, so it now has a 23,8mm one. The system was bled with Motul RBF 660. The pedal travel has increased but it has more stopping power, especially at higher speeds. Just waiting for a set Mintex 1144 to arrive from the UK ( :P ) to finish the brake upgrades for now.


Thanks for looking!

i love it! looks a very nice example. where you get the uprated dogbone mount? k-tec?

[JoaoC]

I got the dogbone mount from an Ebay Shop called Energized Customs. It's just slightly cheaper than K-tec but the postage to Portugal was much cheaper than K-tec.

I had another track-day at a go-karting track, this time at Poiares, a very challenging track.
I got two Sparco bucket seats and 4-point OMP harnesses which really made a difference to my driving position. :D

Mechanically the car was spot on, but handling wise I found the car too understeery. May have had something to do with the tyres, some old Michelin rally slicks. I even managed to destroy the plies in one of them...

Now for the pics:
