Opel Manta Rallye - Norwegian

[StianOverland]

yea, new paint will empty your wallet. in norway a full paintjob is about 6000-9000 dollar. lucky i work as a car painter :P

i wont need ether that or the tps. plain mechanical carbs. way easyer/cheaper/fuel efficent than the webers, with about the same power output.

in norway its hard to run webers perfectly up north because of the weather, dry air, wet air, cold and hot, changing all the time.. the bike carbs do not need any adjustment after the first time. but they do need manual choke for coldstart.

Great car!

Oh I have to ask since you switched to side draft carbs. How did you solve the vacuum advance? I am running dual Weber 40s and trying to figure out the tuning and everything.

I think the answer agreed on on a norwegian opel forum is that vacuum advance is not needed, but i`ll have a look around on the forum and come back to you on that

I like the orange too bud sadly it is the original paint and it's in bad shape. I wan't to have it painted just like original some day but that is really expensive.

ockergelb there is!

hehe, no this car will never be yellow

[Mad_Maxx]

yea i know but they are sanded off now

the reason that it was rally, and not rallye. is because my registration certificate says MANTA RALLY. so i called the dmw and they told me that someone problebly took it for a spelling mistake and removed the "E".

but yes, im fully aware :P


choise of colour is a little unsure at the moment. im considering the kawagreen-like original colour. or a "gulf" theme, with light blue and orange. time will show =)

As long as you dont paint it signalgelb or ockergelb, cause that`s what i`ll use (one of them) when i find me a manta a
