   that blues nice mate
   
   might use that colour for my bumpstrips aswell
   
   wouldnt it be better to just save your money for a conversion? is there any point in doing anything to a 1.1 engine?
   
   i have a 1.1 myself and just cant see the point
   
   anyone else feel this way?

    Hey mate, its a Procomp one.
    
    Procomp no longer make them themselves.
    
    You can still buy them new from a company called Streamline Carbon but expect to pay over £300 for one
    
    Alternatively every now and then they do come up 2nd hand.

    decent, would a procomp be better then a BMC CDA induction kit? and also, is it worth heat wrapping the manifold?
