Big want for a twizy. If they had more useable range id have one on the drive right now with open wheels and rs f1 rep kit.

Discontinued. Looked all over for a full set a couple of years ago, ended up using a universal centre cap instead.

PM track time booked

Whats the plans regarding track time? Is it full day only or am/pm or full day like previous years.

Rpd or Kamracing. Oem not cheap now have pretty much doubled in price since i bought a pair a couple of month ago.

Brake cleaner all surfaces and make sure the sealant gushing out in excess out of all sides. Shine a torch on the outside to check there is no gaps.

Best off squirting the sealant into the grooves on the main cap when its torqued down until it comes out of the bottom and both sides.

Awesome update, new engine looks greatand great power figures. First build ive seen where P2V clearance has been measured, time consuming stuff on an f4r. Out of interest, to check with vvt engaged did you advance the inlet cam to copy full vvt engagement?

Ha its been a long day. On all the time every month. They only advertise via facebook so need to keep an eye on that. Back straight is long enough. Haswell had 145mph out of the Trophy there when he owned it 😆

Teesside autodrome track nights £45 for 3 hours. Get plenty of seat time and its big enough to do a shakedown. Next one is 17th April

Small update Give the interior a deep clean yesterday. The rubber floor mat had deep engrained muck in it which i could not shift. Anyway done a decent mix of apc and used a brush on a drill to really agitate the muck, and it came up spot on. Cleaned the leather on the steering wheel and seats...

Cheers mate. It is a quirky little thing everybody thinks ive chopped it with it being so rare in the uk.

Use a hot stainless stapler/plasric welding kit to repair your current bumper. The chinese spec ones on ebay are £15 ish and work excellent, i repaired my kangoo grill bracket recently with one and its solid. Something like this...

Thanks Nick. Be good to catch up soon, i might pop over to the ph meet in may if i have the clutch changed by then.

Sorry for the lack of updates on the build as not got round to it yet, but promise i will soon. April 2023 update Not touched the trophy since September last year. Ive been cranking the engine over occasionally by hand just incase instead of starting it up, as not keen on starting engines up...

Citric acid also works spot on, mix up a little bit with water and stick it in the solution for a couple of days and all rust is gone.

Updates Running in is done! Well as good as it gets. Last few miles done on good Friday, went to Croft for a look round as a javelin trackday was on, then had another ride up to Whitby. Kangoo got a bit of attention at Croft a few people were looking round it and head scratching:LOL: Macro...

Wiring issue by sounds of it, start by checking continuity on the temp sensor wiring from the plug to the ecu.

Ill be doing the usual pizza run after the track and standing about chewing everybodys ear off on the evening before leaving for a good nights sleep in the airbnb :LOL:

Ive booked an airbnb cottage for this right near the circuit. Prob only bring one vehicle this year due to distance.

Need can clip on it to read the faults properly, probably airbag related

Looking forward to it, not done Anglesey before.

Find a rust free example, worth spending more initially. Once rust is visible on arches etc, you will be forever chasing it unless you spend a lot of money cutting it all out for fresh metal. Mechanical stuff is an easy fix in comparison.

Small update. Moving some gear about today and it will fit a set of 4x 18" wheels in the back at a push and a pair of 13" r888r. Need to move my engine hoist and measured it up, id have to tilt the seat forward or leave the back doors open to get it in as about 150mm too long for the loadspace...

It is indeed a 133 in the background (y)

Weekend update Weather pretty dogshit today but done more running in miles. First stop local Kwik Fit as o/s rear wheel was slowly losing air, the valve that was fitted when wheels were refurbed was leaking so easy fix. Absolute comedy putting it on the scissor lift almost too short :LOL...

Cheers mate. Mk2 dci is a proper dying breed now, most for sale are well past their best. Its crazy the amount of money its earned over the years on business mileage. I think im going to keep running it until the bodywork is totally shagged.

34/32 on all of my clios regardless of size. Tbh anywhere within a couple of psi of that is fine

Lively that! bet it was mega fun though. Interesting about the old rear coilovers on an angle not optimal. My kangoo rear coilovers are similar, feels soft on the rear for 70nm springs might need to look at it.

Best way to protect it, is to take it off for a decat and safely store in the cupboard and refit for one special day a year.
