Looking good Andy Mantas never had vented discs though, if they're the same diameter as Manta GTE then they're 2.2 Carlton/Rekord vented discs and calipers.

Nice looking project, looks like it's been done well if needing some fettling. I'll keep watching progress on this.

Hi Mate,
Another "W" reg Manta.... love it!! TBH, I would loose the SUs and upgrade to a Webber / Edelbrock carb, it really makes ALL the difference. For the best in braking mods for this car, try Omega 298mm vented discs and callipers. I will be doing a "walk through" guide in the near future. If you have the time, take a look at my Coupe' on my posts.
Pete

Ahhh you own that lovely red manta! Mine is a dog in comparison! I read about your car when you first posted and was very jealous of its lovely condition and your custom dials. I want to do the same with mine i.e replace the stock ones (almost none of them are working) I look forward to seeing your disc brake walk through.

Hi Andy,
I'm pleased you like what I've done and thanks for your comments!! Upgrading to the Beemer dash is IMHO a great improvement. It's a bit fiddly fitting the thing in, as you need to cut the metalwork about quite a bit, but the end result is really worth the effort. My gauges are Autometer and came from Summit Racing in the states. All in I think they were about $300, including all the sensors and speedo pick up, which is a lot cheaper than some of the items on this side of the pond. I had to get busy with the hot glue gun and sort out a sh*t load of custom wiring and modify the windscreen demister vents, but I'm pleased to report everything works fine. There is shed loads that I have had to modify and adapt, so if you need any help, drop me a line.
Regards, Pete

This is for sale as of this weekend. Needs finishing off and re-mot'ing brakes need some work, indicator electrics need looking at and the carbs need tuning as it's running rich and failed on emissions. Full recaro checky black interior partially fitted. I'll do a proper ad once this site stops crashing on me. There's over 2 k's worth of parts in the car alone. Will be asking £1800 ONO.
