Ha!
Never mind testing my brain cells, get your cells solving the haunted Rover conundrum...
You see I have so many Rover 800s I get them all mixed up. Would a Turbo ECU be any good? I have a complete spare working Coupe I could borrow bits from...

It'll work as "proof of concept" Scott but you might have a bit of a driveability problem as it won't see the boost from the turbo. That said, that should only be when you're giving it the beans if it does happen.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
If I use the ECU from TB2, will it "sync" with TGM or do I need to swap more electronic bits? Plug and play?
At least I have the fobs for both.
They are both non-turbo

Same as listed before Scott, ECU, CCU, fob and key (just to dangle near the ignition barrel) and maybe the reciever mounted under the back end of the console.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Oh, and another clue is that the rev counter vibrates a bit when in playing up mode. Still waiting for a date from the "secret fixer"

Looks a nice wee beastie - same/similar colour to my Jag.
Didn't Dusan say he would be interested in buying TGM if the opportunity came up?

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
I'm sure it must have been mentioned somewhere before, but what is 'The Green Machine'? ie trim level, engine.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
As far as i recall, it's a 1999 820Si on LPG - i'm sure Scott or Dusan will confirm/correct me as applicable.
