Matteh, geesus69, f0xy, Beaniemoo, whitely, me, Andyrg

These are all forum names, not a strange collection of real life names! lol!!

 

[Antony]

brilliant guys thanks . my main concern was wiring related . i have labeled everything up on the f7r loom just wondered if i can use the excisting loom and ecu or new bits and/or a combination . i havent received my 172 engine yet so have no way of looking for reference

 

[f0xy]

combination of the 172 and Mk1 engine looms.....the PDF I wrote explains what connects to what...

The interior looms etc can remain as they already are on the Mk1

 

[Antony]

awesome !!!!! thats the best news so far !!! .... im really busy with work FOxy any chance you can gimme the link so i dont have to trawl the site mate ??? all my spare time is spent getting the car ready

 

[Hutchie]

andyrg? has a itb'd f4r in his valver... and it fecking shifts, was featured in pfc, its running ben-p's comp engine that was in his car at FCS

 

[Matteh]

don't forget the Godfather himself, Wayne!

if youre keeping the Williams front track, then keep the williams JC5 gearbox and driveshafts

bolt them to the 172 lump with a 172 flywheel/clutch (+soft clutch conversion)/starter motor

 

[Antony]

thats good because i was hoping to keep the gearbox at first anyway to keep the costs down .

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]
