Cheers Shady, likewise.

Today she had a good ol' service and a few other little bits sorted out. All done before MOT time so no suprises will appear. Still not a fan of MK3's but this one is a good un! Looks like it will be about for a while. :smiley:

Question .......... Will a MK2 tinkered engine such as that that TSR build in a 8v form slot straight in and plug and play with the excisting loom? :huh:

Not really tbh, depends on base engine but block can be different in terms of breather layout etc.

So, what would be involved with a ABF conversion?  DH perhaps could guide?

ABF would be very easy tbh, engine loom and ecu would be all that you really need.

Really easy to do in a day

donor engine, gearbox and flywheel including clutch etc (could use 8v box but i wouldn't), engine loom, loom from ECU to fusebox, ECU,
Hydro bits for the clutch and gearbox and gear linkages
Transponder and chip from donor cars key
Clocks if u want, (8v clocks will work tho)

Your mk3 is late spec so your pedal box has all provisions for the Hydro parts etc as does your brake fluid reservoir

rear drivers side mount is different on ABF cars although 8v would work ok

all plug and play..  but not much gain TBH..
