Another Gordini!

Tried to take the bumper off but the bolts in the wing are seized, I wanted to remove the useless lumps of solid metal that renault add as std to stop vibration or something.
Got to keep spraying wd40 on them for a couple days to see if I can free them up

The car sits a little nicer now, the tcs doesn't like the wheel alignment being out so much so will get that sorted tomorrow.

Took the bumper off, snapped half the screws holding it in place, just to remove the 10kg of ballast.
Will prob save me a fiver in fuel over the year too!

While I was taking bumper off I removed arch liners too and gave the arches a clean.

Does anyone know what 5 speed boxes can be used for clio 172 that use hydraulic slave cylinders?

If you want just hydraulic slave you should be able to just bolt in the slave cylinder and release bearing to a 172 box, then swap to a 133 cover plate. Pretty sure the mounts pick up on oem fixings. Need to look at the twingo f4rt thread.

You will still need to fit a 172/182 selector and rod though.

Inner drive shaft fitment is different though. And you will likely have to build some custom/pmt shafts

Im trying to think of a cheap way to 5 speed.
Could I use the jr5113 and swap internals? Or could uli just use a jr5113 with long legs? Would they be too long i wonder

 

[Adey]

not sure when it comes to custom building or swapping internals
