No - if you mean the one Lee manning sold to Renton, it was flowed and ported head, mild cams, Mantzel Powerbox and 4-branch manifold. Running just over 150bhp I believe

yes i remember it was a 1998 tigra engine, although i remember seeing pics of it in redline a few months back, when it went for a re-spray and it had the 'air flow meter' that they have on the c16xe engine clearly visible in the pic!

Hi Adam - AFAIK, Lee's Corsa still had the 4-branch PMC manifold on it when he sold it to Renton. I sold Lee the manifold when I replaced it with SBD's manifold
