If I can figure out how to post photos on here I will post some of my car.Its a 1980's FJ 1600 Manatee Mk 8.EA 71 engine with twin carbs.Dont know whats inside,but mine is great to drive.Have had a few 1/4 miles some hillclimbs and competed on Teretonga race circuit in Invercargill(Lower Sth Island,NZ) last weekend.1/4 mile times were 14.2 best time.Top speed on flying 1/4 a few months ago around 200km/hr.Very simple car,probably easy to fabricate.5 speed gearbox(now have reverse,with a bit of playing with gear lever),weighs around 450kg.If anyone wants photos for possible construction,I have not had much luck with info about these cars but believe they are around 100hp. Email me direct and I will send you plenty.Email...wayne.chris@kinect.co.nz. Cheers Wayne Hillary Dunedin New Zealand

Hi there, I am replying to a very old post about your FJ1600.Do you still have it?Let me know and we may be able to exchange info,as I have one as well.Mine is a Manatee Mk8 and I have just started racing it here in New Zealand in sprints and hillclimbs. Cheers Wayne Hillary wayne.chris@kinect.co.nz
