   well thats just moving the oil filter, which is to be expected fitting a part made for a mk1 to a mk2

   You can pick up a raceland mani from Kamracing for £150ish but the oil filter will need relocating as said. Supersprint, Janspeed or Piper are all trusted makes but are more in the region of £300 for a mani. Ebay is always worth a look

    Sorry to hijack, but how much do the parts cost to switch the oil filter over so you can fit a raceland. And whats the build quality like in camparison the more pricey ones? Are they prone to crack?

    If it was me with that money, i'd go for a raceland 4-2-1 manifold.
    
    Then with the left over money get some 266/283mm brakes - and then with the left over save it up and get this suspension kit: http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...xo-pug-60.html
    
    Should be a nice set up with the above ^^^
