I've no experience of the FBW setup but in theory same as the phase 1 really, just smash all the wiring from donor car in and it should fire, however seems you have a different loom from car engine came in? as such could cause issue as believe there are phase differences. what you need is a full...
@scotiamr2t I've got no room to talk anyway, my clio history has some harrowing regrets in it!
and the current 1993 MK1 is a caged and stripped track car also..............oops!
i'd go some form of ATB diff, M factory or Quaife, fit and forget type for sure. Avoid Gripper if its a primarily road car as they are harsh and high maintenance
welcome
my wiring was alas very simple on my F4R MK1 as I just transplanted the lot from a phase 1 172. I didn't require anything in the dash really, no blowers, no heaters, no stereo nothing so as such didn't need to worry about how to wire those up. Few of the lads have done the splice job...
Cheers lads!
Superb aren't they @mintno1 ;-)
I'd of kept the stock one on Steve tbh but its so boomy it completely defeats object of having it, plus it's not in great nick! Ideally want a stealth sports not the unsilenced supersports but she'll do for now!
I agree, but for standard points...
More updates :smile: love summer, crack on and get stuff done!
changed the positive terminal cover on the odyssey so thought would be wise add one to the track car too, as the terminal is now sideways mounted its easily shortable when working on the flywheel end of the engine, safety first...
I have also now acquired a cup spoiler and rear bumper, so along with the aluminium bonnet they will all get painted and fitted later in the year.
Similarily I have stripped the OZ F1's of their tyres (all 5) and they will be Powdercoated original silver later this year too
this is all provided...
Another week and more tinkering and improvement on the old girl!
First order of business was to raise the ride height at the front slightly, @Dr Jekyll was right, too low! Upped it 1.5cm on coilover platform measurement and can actually drive it now, so much better!
Next was replace exhaust...
Without sounding the dick, imo if your sticking with 15" wheels your not trying to stop a heavy car so why bother? Original calipers and discs with decent pads are are you'll ever need on a mk2 at a ton or under regardless of power output
