i am not saying that what you are saying is wrong or that i dont agree with you! i just like and wouldn't mind a manta! any vauxhall will bloody rust, and i know is wont be quick but it'll be quick enough for me for now. and i am not the type of twat that is into (I'm hoping to double my current BHP by fitting a set of racing graphics up the side of my Carlton now..........Maybe if i fit a "Jap-stlye" front bumper and a "Ripspeed" tail-pipe trim too i could push these boundaries even further!!!!) and i know that small, cheap modifications will not give me a lot of bhp from an XE and i know to get a lot of power from them you need to spend a lot of money! i dont want a lot of power! if i did i would fit a C20LET and big FMIC, big turbo, chip etc etc or get a different car. just want something to have enough poke to have a bit of fun in! i would also upgrade the brakes and susp before i touch the engine!
i dont want to upset anyone or cause arguments. i am not saying that anything you have said or advised is wrong or that i dont agree! and if i do ever get a manta i will take your advice into concideration.
