can you help me out with what is going on there Adey..."it's mine & I'll wash it as fast as I like"? Or just PM me her phone number...
 
Give me a shout when you get bored of this Adey! I miss my Clio and want a track toy as I get more precious about the 5. This looks sweet!
 
no pics but new belt on with fresh pas fluid and all put back together with a few bits removed for weight saving. Will have to chuck it all on the scales before i scrap it all. All running sweet on the driveway so will get another good run out tomorrow for work. Also had a friend pop around with the torque gun to spin off my top mounts in prep for me removing the suspension for the coilovers. Still need to pull them off the Twingo first.
 
not yet, not ordered them yet either. Will probably modify the ones i have to dual fitment
 
new fault that i thought i fixed found this morning, with a full tank when climbing a hill or cornering hard i get loads of petrol leak on to the top of the tank. Originally i though it was because the pump housing wasn't secure so tightened it right up but its happened again. Can anyone confirm if there is some sort of seal meant to be in the assembly. The stick of fuel is quite off putting when driving and actually gets worse with a window open....
 
Nice one @Marinemackay2003 I'll double check it's there. Any idea if it goes on top of the sender but below the locking ring or under both of them?

woops ive done it up so tight to cure the leak originally that its coming off in bits, i think i will need to destroy the ring to remove it and replace it with one from a breaker.
 
Got a cup spoiler delivered today through my herpes, battered and bruised and the paint is shocking but fitted. Will be removing it though to my money back but love the shape.

Lots of faffing today. Got the battery relocated to the boot, ecu moved and air filter pipework in place. I have thrown in a spare scooby filter I had kicking around so will order up something more suitable. Pipe work is still very tight so will look at adjusting it a little in the future but for now the turbo is protected. Also with the battery out the way I was able to fit the vibratechnics gearbox mount. The main pin to the gearbox was also loose so that got nipped up at the same time.
