HAHAHAHA :D

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

I plan on using what ever the donor car has.. then in a year change to a rotary 13b with a small turbo.

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...:eek:

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

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.
