I have owned 3 mk4 and it's a wheel from one one them! Its all looking good so far dude! You going to be ready for the 22nd you think?

Steveboy I'd bloody better be after £s I've spent!!-It has a megasquirt ecu, Standalone management, What would you like a picture of?

[KERR_SE9]

It's a cut&join job, it uses a ford focus coil, external trigger wheel for crank sensor and hardly any sensors,pretty basic stuff,until you get a wiring fault

[KERR_SE9]

Woohoo! Just been on the phone to the engineer who's building my engine, I get it back on thursday,Can't wait- Just spent tonight fitting braided hoses and wiring up my afr/boost gauge and pod, Pics asap

[KERR_SE9]

Well just home from pulling a mammouth shift on car, 95% of the way there, Still got aux belt/power steering pump/ few connections and gear/tx/diff oil to change, Hopefully should be running by the morning, then spend next week running in, Russ paton will be mapping it next friday:- , Looks like I got my measurements just right when fitting the wideband lamda (Look at clearance with tx box!!)

[KERR_SE9]

YES!!! She runs, Sounded like a bag of spanners at first, but sounding fine after heat built up, tappet or two still sticking though, and there all new!!
Pics tommorow, Lots of driving ahead of me this week, have to do 300-400 miles before mapping on friday

[v6 steve]

bring it down and ill do some for you

[KERR_SE9]

Just back from putting the first 250 miles on her, looks promising now, Oil change in morning then more painfully slow driving, Oh cheers for header tank steve!
Still getting noisey lifters here and there
