The standard ecu is fully configurable and is a very very powerful tool. Have you fitted some sort of override for the reverse solenoid? On the same subject I think you have some form of after market shifter - is it not too far back? I modded mine and my engine is further forward than yours.

yea i asked the sparky to wire in some sort of override for the reverse solenoid, have you tried to engage reverse without power to the solinoid ?, yea il need to mod the shifter

Thats the beauty of the original ECU - it controls the sov thats why I asked. You will not get reverse without powering the sov, so its safe. I think there was a problem on the early boxes as the sov was not there and you could miss shift and blow the box! You need a switch with a flashing light on the dash.

Well done. Mine is complete but no MOT yet. Need to see more pictures please. One question - did you fit a sliding joint in your prop are you using the tail shaft of the gearbox as the slider? Just someone is wanting to do a conversion using a live axle too.

[Finlay007]

Well she is finaly legal after 2 plus years building, well chuffed and what an awsome drive she is :-)))

[Finlay007]

Cheers, Using 1 piece prop with gearbox output shaft as slider :-)
