The car didn't come with a gearbox mate

Gents need some advice. I bought a clio 172 with no gearbox as part of an on going rally car project. Basically me and my brother are gonna have a go at the sport on a budget. Cars undergone a full rebuild, including Perspex windows, mark fish x door bar roll cage, 172 engine refresh, and now...

Nice Progress mate, got a similar build going on. Love the sill stands

Gents I have removed AC and PAS from my track car. Looking at it I need a new mount for the alternator and a lot smaller belt. What options are open to me here? Thanks in advance

@Ads29 I do indeed still have the old loom with connector for the steering ecu. What I was planning on doing was removing the connector from the old loom and wiring it up some how.

Any threads on this so I can do a bit of reading!

Happy days cheers @Ads29 and yeah mine had EPAS rather than hydraulic

Independent fluid unit with pipes to rack then I'm guessing? No EPAS unit

Hey? How does it work then mate??

Gents after some advice regarding EPAS. Recently converted by 1.6 k4m to a 172, and the last remaining issues to sort out is the steering. Obviously the plugs on the 172 loom steering ECU won't fit the 1.6 steering ECU so I'm guessing I need a 172 ecu. Or option b is to cut the plugs off the...
