No major plans ;)
Just keep it rolling, dents and paint damage will be fixed sometime in the future. Also a TCT conversion will happen.... someday :D
Today I've been working on my righthand driveshaft, after a trackday in Belgium, it failed on the way back home. Car vibrated like crazy with the slightest acceleration :shock: I had already replaced the righthand shaft 2 years/25.000Km ago, so I thought it would be the other short one.
But it wasn't. This axle was a overhauled one from Citroen. I'll never buy one of those again.

On the bench

Metallic grease? Or small pieces of iron??
Image

Hmm lost some bearing rods!
Image

Not good!
Image

Broken parts, even a broken bearing rod!
Image

The surfaces have been damaged by the broken bearing, and also there's some play of the whole thing on the axle, so it it'll have to be replaced.
Image

Also damaged

It's hidden behind center console. You can take it off, start the engine and just pull out the keypad connector :)
Refit: start the engine en refit connector.
I still have it cause if u pull it out, it'll also disable the ECU warning light, which sometimes comes in handy.

Heater matrix was creating some unwanted coolant smell so it was dying, time to replace it, for that the whole dash needs to be taken out. A good moment to fix wiring neatly, replace the alarm and some other stuff that's use when the dash is out.


Image

Image

Heater is out, AC unit is on the right and does not need to be disconnected, which I feared because it's still an R12 filled system which cant be filled anymore, you'd need to modify it to R134a when it's not working anymore or when it's empty.

The idle intake had it's own filter, but is was too small so now it will breathe through the 'big' air intake.

It needs air and you want it to be clean so thats why ;)
Result of the leds is ok, but there's room for improvement, there will be a 2nd protoype sometimes :P
