I've been slack on this due to a variety of reasons but I thought I would update so it's clear I have not been totally sitting on my hands. The car is still filthy in the garage and I have not done anything with it since parking it up other than unpack some of the... Continue Reading →
My thinking is that a tuned up S1600 should be enough especially in a car this light. My current engine is a tuned C2R2 engine, so I just need to work how to mount it. I managed to get these relatively easily but the other parts of the TU5JP4 Citroen C2R2 Max Engine mount are... Continue Reading →
Thread revival time. K16 PUG left Bic and came into my care yesterday. At the time rather than start a new thread on some of the forums, I intended to keep them going, sharing the updates from here.

Of course first time I washed the car this point was proven. Now modified with drainage positioned so that it clears the... Continue Reading →
MOT was fine, took the car in hot and it was very quiet first thing in the morning.

Well my son was keen to help today so we headed out this afternoon to the garage. I had polished the bumper up in the week and fitted it on. I'll give it another polish when my new orbital polisher turns up. With that done, drove the car outside and took both front wheels off... Continue Reading →
