i was just wondering as i know of all the bits to do it on the cheep

 

seing as the connects are focus base'd i would say yes

 

The ST engine is not a V5 its a straight 5

 

oh well

still a 5 lol but its not the same as a focus rs shell is it the st shares the volvo chassis

 

track van...

 

one vehicle that does it all lol

 

st stuff will just bolt into the coonect as they all share very similar engine/gearbox cradles

 

cool

 

never mind that ,,,get painting stuff , the q is out the door lol

 

this is for next year clive and the q is being sorted lol i was there till after 10 last night

 

what about the ecu and keys problem how do you get round it

 

use the loom & ecu out of the st

 

is it a stand alone loom like a cosy or is it integrated into the car loom

 

def can be done, i know of 1 thats being done just now, engine and box is in, its just not running yet as he's using after market management so is waiting for the loom being made, dont know if he had to mod anyfin to fit it but he didn't mention it so i assume nothing major if anyfin

 

can you ask him for me i need a work van

 

just try to get the full look from the car & fit it in the van or go the confusing way of aftermaket ecu lol

 

You need a bit more than just the loom... you need the instrument cluster too

Nightmare conversion.

 

i know that he got all the bits from a stolen recovered bent 1, he had no keys and a lot of bits had been robbed so thats why he decided to just go for the management change, was actualy the cheaper option,
i'll see him at the weekend and ask how easy it fitted in for you mate

 

seeing as the ecu lives in the inlet manifold under the plastic and the loom just unplugs, i'm sure there is an easy way around this

i do have an engine/gearbox/ecu etc sitting here waiting to go into a mondeo when it turns up
otherwise it's going to go into the back of the sierra
