Took my "racing tractor" in to have the 2:1 mani gasket replaced today (finally)after it started blowing due to the gearbox inspection.
(They couldn't source a gasket so I put them in touch with Ant at Spoon,thanks m8 xthumbup )

Only to find it's the 2:1 mani they have split :evil:

Got to get a new one now and I'm NOT going to pay for that to be done :evil:

They spit bolts and crack flexible hoses according to you Trung :lol:

Touch wood mine is fine so far.

Sorry to hear this Si. Have you been infected with Dan's bad luck? Hope not.

Oh no! Dobber (the Spoon woreshipper :xnworthy: :wink:) strikes back.

I'm afraid in the tuning would every little hp counts and as Jonster has pointed out about the mid range torque has hell of a difference. :)

LOL :lol: :lol:

I konw what your saying about the torque which is why i went for the 4-2 2-1 as this gives more torque mid range but less top end bhp compaired to the 4-1 spoon minifold.

A question was asked to another supplier of Toda manifolds if it was worth changing from Spoon to the Toda and was told "no" For the slight increase its not worth it as you would need to get cams and other mods to see and difference between the 2. 8)


Worshiping over 8) (for now :wink: :lol: )

If you are going to pay listed prices for the Spoon mani then it's close to, or possibly more than the TODA costs. I'd probably go for the Jackson Racking mani if I was to do it all over again for vfm. MOT time is a bit of a pain with the TODA.

I agree with you there, but if you have already got the Spoon its no point changing to anything else.

Body panels can wait. Get the TODA stroker kit and new A3 cams first and let us see the results. You know you want to :)
