Im sure those housings are still good! :spank
Good lock with the loom, it\'s not something I envy! :Thumbs-up
finished rewiring loom dont anybody attempt unless its really need! i also did away with all the emission control plugs so much simplified nothing left!!! hoping somebody can help my plugs to the crank position sensors were so brittle thay just broke up so ive made some new conectors but unsure as to which colour wire goes to which side of the connectors please help or does it not matter???
Hmmmmmmm, I think the damage to your engine could have been those 2 banana\'s:D Im not sure they are good for REW\'s:bandit
LRP, i cansuggest a good place for the 1600 kit. If your interested let me know and ill email you the details.

ive seen that engine somewhere before leighton :Thumbsup! :wave
Didn\'t somebody on rx7 club swap the whole loom out for a new one when they fit a new gt35 ? Supposed to still be a stock item !
Looking very nice :D

the engines now back in and awaiting injectors cant wait only one thing should i run a bov?? i know theres alot of talk about this??
Wether not using a BOV can cause damage or not is one thing but if you have one you can use, then you may as well use it :yes
good words i hav one but its a bailey and think it may start to leak of early so in 2 minds if to fit or not???
naa dont fit it if its leaking it will overspin the turbo

I will be getting my wastegate vent pipe welded to my downpipe soon, had it for a couple of months now and its horribly loud. spoils the driving experience IMOH:2Rolleyes
