I wont make carllisle yet again this year, lack of a finished GT and health issues have dampened my hopes for awhile. I thought at one time there was someone looking into making new vents with a 3D printer but I never heard if he ever succeeded, there was a thread for it on the other site but good luck finding it now.

Not a fan of Opel GT dot Com anymore. The format is the same CRAP format that was used on several other sites and I really do not care for it, and I find it to be much slower loading, so I will be posting here a LOT more now. Hopefully others will come over here more often too. If not, thats fine too, really starting to not like a large portion of the population of this crappy planet anyway.

Gary IS "The Man". Welcome aboard my friend.

Thank you Gary.

In your case, a resperator with the correct filters would be a VERY good idea.

Better to just avoid all brake cleaners for cleaning surfaces to be welded. I use acetone myself, much safer and does an excellent job of de greasing.

Hey Gary, that link you shared isnt working for me. Did it change or something since you shared it?

Close one.

Judas Priest "Turbo Lover" if I am feeling feisty and not worried about getting a ticket

Opel porn, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So I follow a show called Roadkill and I caught a glimpse of a GT drag racing. Can be seen at 28:51 of this vid

Welcome aboard RB, glad to see you made it Very nice work on that pan. So whats your opinion of the Motus V4?

Check it out, you get to see it in several sections but at 8:48 was a FANTASTIC shot. Looking good guys.

Honestly, the 2.0L turbo that's in the new Camaro is looking pretty good right now and over 275hp. There's a complete takeout, engine, 6-speed manual, wiring, and computer for sale near me for under $5k, with 13k miles on it. I'm seriously tempted to drop it in a Manta.

Well my point is that the GT has such a tiny engine bay, and this is a TINY little 4 cylinder that makes some serious hp. and is NEW and will be serviceable for years to come, and has a nice big engine sound.

I am guessing the Camaro's 2.0L and turbo probably take up a little more room. But as for swapping one into a Manta where I am betting it has a little more room to work with, I am with Gary, that would be neat.

There is a reason certain friends of mine and I have always refered to GM as "Garbage Motors". Only 2 vehicles in it's long history that I have ever had any appreciation for - The Opel GT (and of course we all know that the GT was only imported by GarbageMotors) and the 1987 Grand National GNX (of which I was offered a trade in exchange for my then 73 Opel GT, ...........OMG if only I had known then what I know today). The rest is garbage by a garbage company. Truly sad we have so many like GM in the world. Oh well, at least we in the states got to enjoy the GT's, and received exposure to Opel as a whole because of GM.

Scroll down, you'll see it

Hey guys, any of you seen this? Anyone have the money to make the first attempt? I know I am drooling at the thought of what could be!!!

THAT"S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

Personally I like leaving the rear brakes as drum, for simplicity sake. But if you are going to make the swap, most certainly do not leave the shield off, even if your not driving in the rain.

Welcome Norbert, glad you found here. Much better than the alternative for sure.
