was gonna get a loom made fella, but don't know what type to buy or any thing, engine work is easy just when it comes to managment i screwed, i not that good with maths or out like that, give me a wiring diagram and some wire i can do that, but if some 1 asks me what ecu to use i wouldn't have a clue.
also guy geting a little sick of the car being at his house, and i'm not realy making any progress it all daft things, realy shoulf get the engine built up then think about managment, but money is burning a hole in my pocket, and if i don't buy managment now i probley never will
