Has anyone here done the same thing or similar to their car? I am curious about how much work is involved in the project, wiring locations etc. Cheers  Rick Keep on rockin'!! | ||

Just make sure it has a small inline fuse though! Wires chafing against metal panels and body seams will eventually cause a short and fire risk. The oil temp is a modification to the wiring loom I believe as it is fitted with the Chrono Pack. MINI Project 370hp and counting... : MINIProject.co.uk | ||
