You sticking a 3SGTE in the rolla or just a turbo on 4afe??

It's a big job speak to fensport they will put you in tocuh with someone who has done 2 in the Uk allready

im putting the whole turbo engine into mine. have to wait on it coming from japan.

as for the dials i make them myself only thing is i took KMPH off them and they nearly failed MOT last year. Im gonna make new ones for MOT this year.

Wot kind of dials are you looking for??

So it's the 3sgte then is it a late or early type engine??

It's a big job mate where you getting it done? Load of stuff to think about doing that conversion I was going to to do it but was told you could not put the 4wd drive system on the rolla

c1 trd - i'm really after white ones if you know where i can find them as the standard black with green illumination are about as sporty as a lada

[C1 TRD]

well i dont know where you would get white ones as i made my own which i think is far better. they are pretty easy to do. you can put whatever you want on them then. they cost nothing to make aswell. B)
