Any ideas where the best place to get a downpipe for my mk1 mx-5 is? I was hoping to get a stainless steel manifold, complete with downpipe for my car but i cant find one that fits? i dont know if mazda changed the design for the manifold at some time?? but none of the ones ive tried actually fit?????

after having a nightmare trying to get a decent manifold, was told the car had a 1.8 conversion by one "expert"...although i subsequently found out it is still the original jap 1.6...so why doesn't the manifold fit???? will check out spark plug order for you and get some pics up here asap
