HAHAHAHA

It's basic, but it works.


I hate points, i ditched them on our MK1 golf in favour of Lumenition Optronic. That's shelved now that the car now has EFi with a POLO GT lump.


You will find 3 multiplugs behind the dash, 3 pin (round) , 6 pin (square) , 9 pin (square) . These connect the engine loom to the main loom.
for easy seperation

Great thinking Eternal, my next car will be based around the Rx8 with the 13b 231hp engine. Dont think i would need the Turbo though...

Had an Rx8 for a few years and they are fantastic cars, not very Torquey but would be marvellous in the Roadster.....

Hi all,
I'm planning on fitting my 1.8 zetec which I already had and fit it with bike carbs, but need to look into a bit more with regards to inlet manifold lenghts airbox size?. If to complicated will stick with standard setup.
