Apparently you can switch 2 cables on the back of them and the ZS clocks work with the 400 loom.... I never tried it because i fancied something a little different
Really depends how u decide to do the wiring, keeping the ZS loom obviously means you can keep the ZS clocks.

Hopefully it'll only be the passenger going green

im still not sure as to what i want to do with mine after i buy something else, t series makes sense but dont know if i want to be different n try keep it light weight
would the mk2 be more difficult because of the scu to convert, ive not really looked at whats required wiring side.

but anyway that will be giving a few big cars a run for theyre money:P

Top job that car looks like it's gonna be a monster
