Very cool mate. What gearbox is it running? R65 or PG1? And which speedo are you using? How did you work around the speedo drive and gearing if it's Mini clocks?

We need pictures!

When I was wiring mine, just take each piece an one unit. Follow the diagram and try to stick to the colour coding just in case you need to follow it again later. I have loads of wires left from mine so if you need any, let me know.

With regard to the speedo question, I haven't sorted this on mine yet! It's working but 18% out. I don't know if Dean has got this sorted but it's using the R65 box.

im using the r65 box,
not tried the speedo out yet but i have the cable attatched the the r65 speedo drive and into my standard mini clocks,not sure how it will work but worth a try!
andrew if you have some wires spare i would be very greatful if i could use some as im scratting around for bits off my mgf loom,
pics will follow at some point when i think its in a good looking state!

What wires are you after? Ive got a few left on an mgzs non vvc loom...

[AGoaty]

You know where I am if you need wires. I have a bag full of them! Just ring when you want to collect....

[Deanios]

cheers andrew,ill be in touch,
not done anything for a bit,
will have to get back into it soon,

[samsfern]

What do you plan on doing with the immobiliser? Are you going to run a 5as unit as well, or get the ecu decoded?

[Deanios]

hi
ive run the 5as unit into the loom,i got a matching set so it made life a little easier.
