yes use three, is a sort of triangle-ish layout...
i was just curious about the corsa's, as im used to nova's with one at the front, and didn't think the extra one though the top, would of made much diff.. as the front cross member's a weak point on corsa's too
good, to learn new stuff :)
I've learnt a bit too... I will have to see what goes, I'm thinking that I will take that manifold back and I will buy the same one that I had on my white nova.
Standard 4-2-1 XE layout, but overbored by 0.5" at every stage, and get that mated up to my standard 2.25" system (its not 2.5" btw - measured it earlier today)
Could have done with not selling my old system quite so fast, as then it'd still be driveable lol hey ho
Now that sounds like good service !
omg some work will be mint wen finished wat coulour or youkeepin origanal coulour would be nice same coulour just freshend up
Thats excellent mate.Quote:

New system and a box for the tb's should do it....... i hope!!
Definately worth a try mate :)
Just been out to see how the paint dried, as when I took the pics yesterday it was still wet.
Looks OK - not as patchy as it looked when wet anyway :)

Thanks chap! I hope so too...
Anyway, didn't get a chance to call John about the exhaust, so I cracked one with what else I need to do before Bedford.
Next up - ARP rod bolts, and fit better baffle, sump gasket combo! Thought it'd be ideal as manifold was off anyway.
First up - sump off, and was disgusting site
