If you decide on the HIF6, don't go for the Titon manifold (Mini Mania sell it as part of their HIF6 conversion I think). It is not all that flash. If you do go that route, the best manifold I have f

Don't worry too much about greasy hands - wipe it clean afterwards then finish off with either a pressure pak can of brakleen or a tin of acetone and a clean rag. No guesses which is cheaper! Mike

This isn't a Sebring Sprite - it looks like a Speedwell Sprite (the bonnet is definitely the Speedwell "Monza Bonnet"). It might be one of the few Speedwell GT Sprites, or it could be a replica that
