Yeah by all means if you have a pic for general reference I'd appreciate it, same as fuse box 😂 give or take a few wires the colours should be roughly the same to each I'd hope

Yeah mines a pain with the Haynes manual it's split between two diagrams because of the year so have to jump between two diagrams and two keys which is fun.. I have another online manual also but same story haha

That would explain a few random wires then, everything works fine with them there i just wasn't to sure if the guy who had it before had bypassed some bits to get it going ect or to get round a wiring issue

Sorry only just seen the email, it's a 84 120l I've just completely shot myself in the foot with the fuse box aswell, i updated to spade box and then found a wire that goes to fuse two so unplugged it an without thinking unplugged two other multi ins to tuck a wire behind an then realised I didn't note what bunch goes to what fuse... D-HEAD I know.. just a complete no thought moment... Anybody help haha

Yeah I believe so, sounds like your having as much fun as me... I've just done all brakes all round aswell as lines... Chasing a few unplugged wires also but it is getting there... still got a few bits to do before registration and inspection but pretty confident it'll be fine... I don't suppose you have a picture of the rear of your ignition switch at all do you.?

The red wire on my 84 estelle goes to the right side of the carb And White to the distributer... Then I have a spare green hanging 😬😂 this was how it was when I bought it an the car runs fine not sure if thats any help for you

Yeah I've seen few subaru swaps mentioned but again it's an electrical route I'm not to brave enough to take, the mechanical side if things ect ill happily dive into but as soon as we have ecu's and coded parts and a million wires I get abit out of my comfort zone with it all 😂 I appreciate where your coming from though I'm just not that brave myself

the weight is something I've thought about with, it's more for the easy sourcing of parts and upgrades available and lack of electric's involved, the estelle engine is super lightweight for what it is but its just so limited on sourcing parts and I've not really seen many upgrades for them other the standard route of reporting the head, air filter upgrade exhaust and camshaft swaps and ignition upgrade ect...

I'm not sure if this guy Alex has many estelle parts left but could be worth a message ino he was talking about possibly breaking both his rapids which I'm sure share the same front wings he's been advertising a parts catalogue on ebay the past few months and had two garages full of parts all original and also the two rapids. Give him a try he's a nice chap could possibly help <[email protected]>

So I've seen a few topics in regards to engine swaps and conversions with the estelle, but have a question of my own and that is the Kent crossflow 711m swap.. The reason is the crankshaft spigot bearing groove is present on the 711m engine. So am wondering if anyone has done this or looked into this swap/conversion and what to consider or take into account at all. Any info or constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated.
