From what I've read you need a tsr tall block manifold as the mk3 one hits the chassis could probably solve with a bit of hammering but I'm saving for a tsr one..

I've read similar somewhere....


I think you can leave your fusebox in with your lighting looms in etc and just swap out the engine looms.

either need to carry ecu, loom, immobiliser and chip.. or just ecu and loom and delete the immob on ecu for about £55-60..

I got my loom done by a member on here for £100 so it was the right length to reach the places it needs to and was done properly as wiring can be tedious.. all you need is ABF engine loom and mk2 lighting loom as mk3 one wont fit iirc..

yer so all you need to keep is the mk2 lighting loom.. The mk3 ecu wires need lengthening aswell iirc to fit in the standard mk2 place and a seat cradle as mk2 and mk3 one dont fit
