[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 132618, member: 264"] For the wire extensions, had some bits in the garage so used them. I just used 4 lengths of cable and threaded them into some pvc tube so its similar to the original style of wiring. Adding some heatshrink onto the end where the extension meets the original. As already mentioned, I used adhesive crimps to do the extension but you could probably solder the joints and then sleeve each one with a bit of heatshrink before threading them into the conduit. Without a pit or getting the car up on a lift, removing the original manifold would be difficult and probaby very tiring for your arms (its not light and I wouldn't like to drop it on my face). Its probably possible to swap it out at home, but I certainly wouldn't fancy laying down and trying it in my drive with a pair of stands. Theres also the drive shaft to remove, so topping up the gearbox afterwards ate up up some time [/QUOTE]
