Hi everyone
Thanks for all you informative comments.
A wealth of knowledge out there.
Anyhow I got it running today after spending a very frustrating 5 hours trying to work out why I wasn’t getting the starter relay to engage and was getting no ignition when I did bypass the starter relay.... Only to find I had missed a some small connector down around the Ignition coil that I couldn’t see.
As soon as I plug it in it fired up straight away.
Yes the red one is a N/A that used to be a auto that I converted to manual at the same time as putting the Gen 3 in.
After this one is completed there’s a black turbo model with a blown engine to do up, planning on a 2grfe in that one but thought I better learn how to drive the MR2 before I get into that sort of power.
Will post some photos tomorrow.
Thanks again everyone for your help!
Cheers
Hamish
