    Yeah you should be saving for a 16v ecu

    Join up it's worth it mate, parts & knowledge alone is worth the £25... then £10 a year after that IIRC..
    If you need the ecu before next payday PM me your address & I'll post it out mate
    You'll get a gearbox mount no bother

    yeah i think i remember you, i had just got the c1j in the car and it was all running but i just didn't like the feel of the car.. it was better with the 1.8 16v lump in so i jogged it on..

    i have a full set of mounts but there for my build but there should be some old ones kicking about, i'll have a look but to be honest my garage is a sh1t hole and i can't get from one side to the other without breaking my neck chances = slim

    plans are a stripped and very fast 5, i have all the gear and the cars stripped so im pretty much there.. i have the funds for paint but the cars on hold at the minute for a few reasons.

    if your short of a crane when you need it just let me know as you can borrow mine, just needs a long bolt to lock the legs in as the pins gone walkies.. and rope/straps..

    Yeah, front was light so the handling was shocking and there was so much left to do. It was all in, but nothing finished. I went about it all wrong, should have got it running and then spent money on what it needed, instead I bought sh1t I didn't need and at the end wasn't happy when it wasn't right and I was skint. I was told but wasn't listening

    dont remeber the gtt but that was my old one it lived there for a while after i sold it but he lost the key thats why it didnt move but he never gave me all the money so i never gave him the spare then it moved to the latest owners house at the end of chatteris way who got caught driving it with no insurance licence tax or mot after we did the williams conversion on it that come out of my clio van the temptation was too much for him but ive done it before after ive fitted an engine into something taken it up and down th road before its still wrong but hard to resist thats why i want a traders policy this year i sell enough cars to get one

    Paul, I have an adjuster off the 19 thats metal & could maybe be modded, I'll have a look, the only part it doesn't have is the threaded adjuster part IIRC, I remember seeing it in the car boot yesterday, I'll take a closer look later & let you know if you can do anything with it, then all you need it some way of mounting it to the block.
