[Dpnova]

Looking good matey

[_JH_]

the engine is in one piece!?



obviously haven't got the torque wrench out yet :lol:

[Barn]

good going Aragorn mate

how long you reckon it will take to finish the conversion?

[Aragorn]

lol yer the engine is in one piece - i aint touched anything on it

the bloke has finished the welding now and has primered it all

it was pissing with rain most of the day so all i did was spend 20 mins removing strut and ended up knackering track rod end

i'll get some pics tomorrow weather permitting - doing some colorcoding too but i'll keep that under wraps for now ;)

Not sure if you are aware, but you are going to have serious trouble running a speedo off the F15 box, but I think yours might be the earlier type box with the screw in plug and not the electronic plug.

My X16XE is being fitted at the moment and has had a F13 box fitted to it.

[Ben]

Its not to hard to sort the F15.

[Ojc]

Harder then just fitting a F13 which will mean increased accelration
