i was at a classic car show on saturday and saw an rs1600i but it was automatic i didnt think they made one

 

No they didn't. I'd like to know how they fitted the CPS???

 

Cant have been a real one, how would the twin coil setup work on the autobox

 

Was it suburst red? Number plate something like PGB***Y?

 

I converted this car to automatic about a year ago for a friend of mine who is disabled, and cant drive a manual, he always wanted a red rs1600i, so we got one and converted it, it works quiet well covering over 10000 miles since we converted it, it now has a dissy, but using megajolt it can go back on coils and be mapped via a laptop, hope this answer your question, oh and my car was the white rs1600i parked next to it at the show!!

 

That's what I expected. Converted by someone, and not able to use the standard CPS...

 

Sounds like it might be my old car.

 

Hello and welcome mate, sounds like an interesting car, have you got any pics

 

it came from chelmsford, it still imaculate, he had the interior retrimmed,looks the dogs! anyway he still using it everyday, ill try to get sum pics!!

 

whats a cps? it all works as it should!! great conversion!

 

Crank position sender. Black plug which sits on the gearbox bellhousing to give the crank position by a special metal on one of the teeth of the flywheel to the ignition computer which gives the ignition signal to the red twin coils

 

oh the gearbox sensor, its running a dissy!! though i can fit a cps on the alternator pully end using a burtons kit and megajolt ignition sytem, i done this on mine, gets rid of the unreliable sensor in the gearbox and ecu, and replaces it with a more modern mappble ecu, and replacible sensor, keeping the twin coils, other than a new sensor deep in my engine bay, looks totaly standard, top mod, this could be done on my mates auto 16i, but he cant justifyspending the cash, so a diisy it was!!

 

It is my old car... Love to see some pics of the new interior.
