Hi guys, I need some help .
I need to lift the webers on my ser 3 Rapier and as far as I can see I will have to cut & weld the manifold. It looks like it is slanting at 7-8 degree angle . Pse advise if this is the right way to go and do I lift it 12 degrees in total to make up for the engine's torque.

To Nick - I closed my eyes and ears and bought the manifold off ebay.
Here are some photo's of the mods .The engine runs well now ( too well actually, like a Morris puddlejumper in 1st & 2nd gears)
