Tubular Manifold Trouble

Hi all,

Looking for some help with this one!

Unfortunately I purchased a tubular manifold for my build a long while back and l'd shelved the project for a while due to health issues before testing fitment.

I've come back into it and found that the manifold doesn't fit, due to one of the runners hitting the block. (See pic)

Unfortunately I've had no luck with the original seller so that's out of the question.

I've since cut the runner away to see whether a new one can be welded in place, but it's very tight for welding and since l have little to no experience in TIG, I really need a professional to look at this.

I've tried the usual places near me and they don't want to touch it.

Does anybody know of anyone that'd be willing to help? (l'm in the West Mids, so I could drop the engine block and cylinder head along with the manifold on a pallet to aid with fitment)

Cheers guys

wheel options for ND MX5

might be getting an ND and while i love the car im not huge on the wheels as standard

im thinking either white or gold in a size nearest to the standard as possible or smaller in diameter if they can clear the brakes

cheers all

What’s your take on Mansory, Venom, and other car tuning companies?

These companies take cars from major manufacturers and completely transform them with new bodywork, interiors, performance upgrades, and their own unique designs.

Do you think they make the cars better and more exclusive, or do they ruin the original design?

Back to OEM intake!

Finally back to OEM

When I moved house, I had binned all my factory stuff
So to get to this point
Hasn’t been cheap - all brand new factory OEM parts were ordered except for the air box

Turbo elbow
Intake pipe, bolts etc

It’s been expensive

But I’m glad I’m back to the factory air box now 👌
Hi flow filter being ordered now
