k11 newbie, but i got big plans

[l_jonez]

hi every one thought i'd introduce my self in this section as it will probably be the only one i'll use regularly.

im currently looking for a cheap 1.3 k11, which is going to form a credit crunch/ budget project.

i have several plans and have started collecting some bits already, my most recant purchase is a 4efte (toyota) manifold which will be modified to create a manifold similar to a Mulholland one.

i used this as inspiration

theres also a custom exhaust manifold in the pipe line aswell.

all i need now is a k11

Whats you plans for the ex manifold?

current plan it to use a modified rover 200 manifold and down pipe, i did some quick measurements on my mates micra and the ports have nearly the same spacing, so the flange will be cut off the pipes heated and bent a little to get perfect alignment, then a new flange cut and welded on. or at least thats the plan :-/

haven't got a pic and the manifold is currently buried some when in the garage, google wasnt much help either so here is a link to one on ebay to give you an idea of design

Been a long time since I posted, I've been looking for a 1.3 since and its proven rather hard to find one around here, so today I picked this up for the grand sum of £250

Will leave it as a 1.0 then fit a 1.3 engine when I can find one.
