Next update then. I have been trying to make the most of the Covid quite time so managed to get a few more things done on the car. I actually did this a little while ago now but hadn’t gotten round to writing it up till now. With the FRP air box mod completed in the last update, naturally I...

Thanks Wild E. I'll have a look back through your thread. Was it a relatively straightforward swap? Cheers Paul Z

If your just replacing the fluid pump with an electric alternative you haven't actually changed anything that provides the mechanical feedback. You do get the benefit of less load on the engine as mmc757 says. I wouldn't go for a replacement column or rack though because then you will loose...

That's a good suggestion. I know it's pretty common on track Clio's to do this as well. Do you have any experience with fitting EPAS? Paul Z

So I weighed the FRP seats at 23.09kg and I know for a fact they are heavier than my OEM seats from when I swapped them so not sure how accurate that quoted weight is. When I next get my OEM seats down I'll weigh them as well and post up the weight. Supercharger nice 8-). Another thing on my...

Hi Alex Yes I put the carpet back in and still have the roof lining in place to. I thought about not putting it back but like yourself prefer it in place. Just makes it more habitable and tidier inside. I haven't completely removed that insulation stuff as you need to pull the dash to remove...

So I thought I’d do another mini update since I have managed to make some progress on the car during the lock down. I started off by removing the seats and carpets to start tackling the sound deadening underneath and also have a look at the floor. Pleasantly surprised to find the floor in very...

Top job. Something I'm interested in doing in the future as well. Bet it goes well now :twisted: Paul Z

I don't know exactly which subframes etc you have ordered but having a set of FRP seats, subframes etc in my Puma something doesn't sound right to me. Is it possible Demon Tweeks sent the wrong subframes to you? What sliders are they as well because most seats have a common bolt pattern so...

Hi Tom, It's not a lot but I didn't measure mine so can't say exactly. This thread says 9mm though and I'd say it's about the same. https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?t=25826 Paul Z

Some of the drivel spouted in those comments are hilarious. The chap with the Mégane is my favourite. Clearly just wanted to let everyone know he has a Mégane and completely missing the point of the article let alone the fact his car has 20years more car development and technology behind it (and...

How would you do that Wild.E? I'm having a similar issue at the moment although haven't ruled out a flat battery yet so that's on charge now. Only difference is I currently have no seats in the car but wouldn't have thought that would cause an issue so may have left a light on or something...

You have done a top job restoring the car. The colours aren't really my thing but its a cracking effort none the less. Id also echo other peoples thoughts and wouldn't jump into stripping it back for track days. A) To have a properly stripped out track car you need to be pretty committed to...

Once again far too long between updates but with the country in its current state of panic and frantic shopping then isolation I have actually got some time to sit down and write an update on the car. Unfortunately the plans I had for January have been delayed a little but ill cover that in a...

Yog's link shows it better than any of the pictures I can find of mine. It looked about the same though but black with 9 spoke wheels. Paul Z
