Some updates, hopefully they'll be a bit more regular now. I fitted a strut brace a while ago, no pictures of that at the moment.
Corner weights for this with just under a 1/4 tank of fuel:
FL: 374.8 FR: 375.4
RL: 185.6 RR: 217.4
Total: 1153.2kg
I'm fairly happy with this given that it has a full interior, a few bits and pieces in the boot and glovebox and I've added quite a lot of extra sound-deadening and mass loaded panels etc. My friend's clio 182 was around 1080kg with nearly a full tank.
I've also wired up an oil temperature gauge and voltmeter. Planning on running their illumination off the dash dimmer switch but I haven't done this yet. Also need to buy a 3rd gauge!
I've developed a knocking which is my driver's side driveshaft so that's got to be replaced and a 2nd hand OE one is on the way. Also, my driver's side window dropped inside the door, I managed to get it back up and shut it but something's broken with that as well so need the door card off.
Also got a fair few other things on this I am hoping to give some attention to in the near future.
