Yeah I spoke to him a while back and he refused to post it, and I don't have the time to drive from Cumbria to Norfolk and back I think it worked out at just over 600 miles.

For me too much expensive and overpriced

It's coming down in price, he started at £1,000.00 :wink:

Hi,
Best of luck on your search. I did spend a couple of years trying to get hold of one. I came across one and could not get hold of it despite an eventual offer of £1200. Another one I found I could not get the owner to sell. I would say the one for sale at £900 is a good price only because of rarity.
I eventually bought one from Lightening Motor Sport.
Regards,
Richard

I spotted this on eBay, think it's for a 1.6 but a very nice item. You need deep pockets.

TBH, that is much easier to reproduce at home in GF/CF/3D print than the actual FRP inlet manifold

Hope to find the original racing puma inlet, but the lightning motorsport's one? Have a good quality? And the performances is like the FRP? Is like the FRP or something bad? :?:

I've looked into the lightning Motorsport manifold. From what I've seen and read there is an increase in hp but a decease I'm torque due to the the reduced length of the manifold from the plenum. On their website they say 8-10 bhp increase but I'd say that would be with supporting modifications. They're listed at £625, and if I'm unsuccessful I'm finding an frp manifold I'll probably go for one of these.
