thought bowt doing this myself. if you do bike carbs you'll need a custom manifold which you can get made at bogbros (google them) they can rejet the carbs for you and everything. will prob want some off a 600cc bike to get the air flow right. best off just getting in touch with bogbros or have an ask on www.clubpolo.co.uk as a lot of people on there are running bike carbs.  :D

hope that helps you get the ball rolling dude!

speak to bogg brothers.

if you want someone to do it for you these guys have been doing it for years.

But if doing it yourself look at this.

My dad is running R1 carbs on his 205 MI16 autograss car and he said its and easy enough conversion. set up is the tricky thing which is why the bogg bro's are worth talking to.

hope this helps

Mine were made up by a local metal fabrication place. These costed 30 quid! So you dont have to pay Bogg Bros prices, although the quality of their manifolds is amazing. Almost any decent fabrication place should be able to do it, if you take along your inlet manifold gasket and the carbs you're using. Definately worth getting them rolling road set up by Bogg Bros though. :)
