Nice car man, but I could never understand why HSV made such a car... the Manta seems very similar to the Clubsport to me???

yeh has the ss kit instead and one off grill and not that many made

I just searched a bit of info and you'd be crazy to buy a SS when theres the Manta! 185 over 165kw, limited edition HSV... for less or the same as an SS! Bargain.

haha i wasnt complaining i picked it up for $8,000 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

top car man, has anyone seen the VT HSV Manta edition. thats got a TUFF kit, !

UPDATE: went to calder ran a 15.. pretty dissapointed but oh well had 40psi in the rears by accident then transmission got a bit hot... and also i think i have done a rear main seal yesterday so thats more time and money i didnt want to waste grrr... *** Number plates HYPO5L are up for sale check the propper thread for details ***

rear main is pissing me off and dont have the time to do it myself.. anyone have a reliable well priced workshop in lower victoria who will be able to help me with a stroker kit + cam setup. I know im asking for the impossible but its worth a shot =D if the motor is coming out for a rope seal i might as well go the whole hog. prices and info would be a big help??? thanks guys.

haha wasnt rear main seal... car is fine now phew.... got scared over nothing..

what was it caspa?

dunno man i guess that the oil sump was loose.. Kel had a looksi and said all is fine... nearly wasted too much $$$
