    Hehe

    Well the engine is in today! She went in without too much fussing about and its deffaintly a 3 man job. One to check its not hitting the engine bay and noice paint work, one to manouver the transmission and another to work the engine crane. Took about maybe 20 minutes to get it in the engine bay and all lined up! She looks sweet and i was suprised it looked pretty small in my engine bay. Maybe thats becuase i dont have anything else in the engine bay yet.
    Has anyone got any tips on getting the wiring loom through the firewall?? I'm stuck with mine, i've got a few ideas still to try but heck its hard doing it with the airconditiong stuff still in there, i can't even get my hands all the way down the little hole inbetween the aircon/heater stuff...

    Sorry no pics, took camera but no card... woops... Didnt miss much though, ill post some piccies up on monday for your viewing pleasure.

    no pics makes baby jesus cry.

    to feed the plugs in is quite a bastard! feed them in one by one i think worked for me, definately helps if you have one person to feed and one to catch.

    This is going to sound really weird, but i used gladwrap to pull the wiring all together and tight and feed it through

    If you can go biggest to smallest with the plugs, the more wire through the less room for the next plug.

    I just used a bit of wire tied around one ecu plug and slowly jiggled it through. Took all of 10 minutes (still needed two people though)

    Cheers guys! Thats awsome. Yeh i know, sorry about the pictures...

    Im thinking the gladwrap idea may work indeed. I've tried feeding them through one by one and couldnt do it but that was just me trying that, having one person on each end defaintly sounds easier... duh. Well i'll give it another go on monday. Thanks guys.

    After i've got the engine going the rest of the car will go back together, suspension, brakes, interior and whatever else.

    Your not feeding a factory 7MGTE loom through that hole.
    You are feeding a modded Microtech loom, MUCHO smaller.

    The 7MGTE has about 6 plugs on it unless you have cut some off.
