After looking on the rave cd I’ve got the loom sorted now if anyone wants any help let me know and I’ll do a wiring diagram for the conversion.

I used a TF160 engine loom and the rover 100 loom spliced together to run Mems 3 but still maintain the metro bulkhead connection. I did get both sides of the loom connection for the TF160 to make a plug and play loom. If you guys are struggling I can put you in touch with some good lads who break mgs for a living and parts readily available Including the complete subframes to swap to shocks.

As it looks like most people on here are just wanting to line there pocket and not willing to offer any help on the subject unless you give them a daft amount of cash.

Yup, ill be needing some help as well, got a 114 gta mpi, have a trophy 160 engine, wiring, mems 3 and sa5, waiting to go in. Just need to source all parts, before fitting as daily driver.

Im going to keep the standard gta gearbox for now, what fly wheel, clutch and starter do I need. Not got them, or exhaust manifold.

I have the pg1 gearbox that goes with above engine, but dont have the welding skills to make braket or adaptor linkage
