Retrofit cruise control in Mk1 GT3

[mr gsr]

Hi All,

I've been reading a lot about retrofitting cruise control and the OBC hack.

I understand that the Mk1 GT3 runs the 5.2.2 DME. Can you retrofit cruise control to this DME? I've searched the wiring diagrams for the car, and nothing comes up for it the 5.2.2 DME.

Thanks,

Jason

Cruise for DME5.2.2 uses a mechanical actuator. It can bee retrofitted, but it isn't the simple job it is on eGas cars with DME7.2 and 7.8. I did it on mine but it was a bit of a pain to do, to be honest. You need to fit the stalk, the actuator and a new pedal assembly, and wire it all up. If you do decide to take it on, I have some wiring diagrams, and some of the hard-to-find connectors for the actuator.
