I really should do this to the 307... it's looking a little dull theses days...

Didn't know if these might interest you or not... I don't think they would look too out of place in the car. Classic Bucket: http://www.corbeau.com/products/fixed_back...classic_bucket/ Baja Ulta: http://www.corbeau.com/products/fixed_back_seats/baja_ultra/

If i can afford to get the car back together, seal up the temp sump, get oil for it, and a wheel alignment... It will be a Autocross on the 11th of July... Ohhh Creaver - Yes you do need to have a MSNZ licence. It's $60 for that, and if you join the Auckland uni car club it's $10 a year for that. I'm doing the events from the Fiat Car Club - flick me your email addy and i'll send you the entry forms. if you talk to the organisors i think there is a thing that you don't need a MSNZ license for basic clubsport event if you have done less than 2 events previously. I think you might be able to get day licenses also.

Right update time: Have started to get a few things sorted: - Sump: Have dropped off to Frans (races a Renault R8 Gordini and does all the engine work for the Renault Alpine A110 in the Targa) to look at getting a full baffle setup installed/made. We did find a problem with how the sump i currently have was done. The extension on the sump is on a slight downward angle so it will retain oil. I'm going to have to look at find a second sump so we can make a new extension that will drain back into the main body of the sump better. - Suspension: I pulled apart the coilovers on the weekend to look at lowering the car slightly, but have now decided against that as i currently only have about 2 inches of travel at the currently ride height in the front. We have also swapped over the camber/caster plates so the caster adjustment is now in the correct orientation and added a bit more camber to the car. The shocks didn't have dust boots on them, so taking a page out of an old rally book, we used some thick stockings to cover the spring and adjustment threads. Now for the bad news... Because as anyone who's read this thread will now know it's impossible to work on this damm car without something wrong/bad/broke/F!@KED being found. - Suspension: The shocks are not Koni adjustable coilovers like i was originally told but are in fact Bilstein shocks, which would be a Whooo but no... The drivers side one is damaged. It has severely reduced ability to return to full extension and the top threaded part (where it goes through to the camber/caster top plate) is bent. So it looks like i'll need to replace that insert later. I'll still drive on it it just means that it will not be handling as well as it could be. - Rust: Where the tower bracing for the rollcage has been welded to the car, it looks like the rubber sealant for the inner wheel arch was never removed prior to the welding, now it's all bubbled and after pulling and scrapping it off there is a fair bit of rust that will need to be looked at sooner rather than later. There is also some rust coming through below the passengers side headlight and the rear floor plan. - Oil Cooler: It looks like somethings given it a decent whack and has dented the side of the oil cooler rather decently. I did also notice some oil build-up in the lower corner by where the dent is, i'll now need to get this pressure tested to see if the lovely Mocal Oil Cooler it's now scrap or not. As usual it's 1 step sideways and 10 steps backwards.

Nicolas knew his dream of being the second Doctor Lector would fail when his attempt at heart and brains didn't go well with his Chianti as he had taken the lungs instead... They require a nice Merlot.

Depending on the ecu/maf there are instructions online about how to do the conversion. I know of a couple people going from a flap resistor style MAF to a hotwire MAF

i don't know - could be way off... Been reading some more since i posted that and it's mixed...

See if you can blind mount the top face of the butterfly, get rid of the top mounting bar and countersink the screws into the butterfly. You will get a noticeable improvement in flow through the body. The Mivec boys have done it a couple times on their 60mm throttle body (single) and it gives the same flow performance as the bored out 63mm throttle body (single) that they where doing as a modification. This is what i'm refering to:

i know where you can get a stellar bodykit for those!

opera 10!

Thanks man...

get a 306!

i've got a set at home if you want to trial fit them to see what they will look like

ohhhhh thanks man... Next event is next month, i'll see how things go before then i'm going to be rather busy ripping the sump off to get baffled and pulling the struts out to get more caster and lower the car slightly. Not much time really... I"ll flick you a pm when i get the car running again.

I haven't actually done anything more to the car since the last update... Kinda odd for me but thats the joys of being broke... I've been researching a hell of a lot of information for future plans but wanted to see what the last set of mod's (suspension and brakes) are like in competition and yeah i've had to add a bunch of things to the list and move a few things up the list. From the motorkhana: Steering Rack = way to long, i'll need to look at a quick rack as during the christmas tree run i couldn't turn the wheel quick enough, but a quick rack = heavier steering as i've got no power steering. Steering Wheel = The wheel was too smooth and with the force of almost full lock steering and trying to use the handbrake the wheel started to slip in my hand. I'll look at a set of gloves and maybe a swade steering wheel, this will only get worse with the quick rack once it's in. Rear Suspension = it's squatting when using the handbrake before it locks the wheels, so i'm not sure what i can do about this due to the design of the rear suspension. Handbrake = The leave mount is flexing when the handbrake is used. A new mounting system will be needed, also the leaver design will be looked at too. Longer? Different Angle? etc... Also a removable fly-off system is needed as the handbrake locked on a couple of times during the runs slowing me down. But yeah... some video's can be found here... please note they where taken on a still cam and arn't the greatest. http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/DRTDVL/Motorkhana/

what no USA!... grrr...

I can ask around if anyone might want a project car... Also they are basically a 106 so people looking for things mechanically might want it also. Flick the local Citroen clubs a email and they might have a member or two that might want it... Also Auto France are a mainly citroen workshop...

Did the motorkhana yesterday, and even with the problems still managed a respectable placing. 1st in Class C 7th overall (50 competitors) was running as high as 3rd until the 4th track layout (Christmas Tree)

man i'd love to do this... pitty i'm in aussie..

I"m soo sick of that drive... It seams like if your a car club and you want to go for a drive you have to do that road and stop at that fish and chip shop...
