Well thats it, done, the engine runs sweet as a nut, pulls all the way through past 7000rpm

i prefer the longer gears from the 120 box for town driving aswell, works perfectly

Next is my 160 calipers all round and then gold addendums on at weekend

The only wiring issue was me being a ***,

When i removed the launch control from the loom i forgot to cover the bare wire up, so one of the coil negatives was touching metal,

Anyway after a "what a ***" moment i taped it up and it run perfectly lol

Thanks guys

Nick

Well done on getting it going. I saw mention of a thread on .org. Do you have a link to it?

I thought the ratios were all the same with the exception of 5th, which is longer on the 120 and revvy on the 160, both on a 4.2 final, or have I got the wrong info?
