Keep it auto, get it tuned by NOZ and fit and ALC line converter , will be mega quick, and a dream to drive a lazy style car

as you have seen prices vary, I would expect 5 K for a half way decent machine and a fair bit more for something sexy ,

And a rebuild , if your lucky will cost 2 K, and that's before the dreaded upgrade bug bites your ass. So the wise move ( for most anyway) is to bide your time , choose a known forum car and minimise the risks that come with a 20 odd year old car

Whats involved in replacing the engine wiring loom
yep , for me it was not possible to remove the clamp that secures the loom without completely removing the aircon matrix and all associated parts behind the glovebox, I understand people have done it with it in place but for the life of me I cannot see how, have a chat with Mark Derby I believe he has done it that way , other than that its a case of taking your time , clever people do it in a day , I took my time and did it over a few days

Amp wiring
Hi , I have a second amp which I want to install in order to power x 2 rear speakers, the amp currently installed is dedicated to running the single sub, is it correct to take a live feed from the existing amp and connect it straight to the second unit , or is there a more appropriate way of powering the second amp? cheers Sayers
