Re: Lawso's project thread
You're going to have such wiring nightmares doing 3 looms up.
just go Mivec dude, seriously.
Listen to the voice of reason.
edit: sounds like you also get to rip out a dash Bennoz! Never done it in an FTO, but it was a bitch enough in an 80s Magna!

Just keep ringing around wreckers. There are dozen of wreckers that stock FTO bits & halfcuts on Ebay and trading post.
You've got 1 week till I get back from OS to find one!

Re: Lawso's project thread
just go the mivec if that's all you can find. sure, it's a pain in the ass to wire up, but do you of ALL people really need a non-mivec WITH A TURBO?! a mivec like aza's will give you all the fun you'll need, and then when you've got the money down the track you can get a project motor for yourself to fix up.
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!
