COME BACK FROM THE LIGHT ARC U NEED A NEW CINQ NOW :devil::devil:
Anyway all that is left to do now is heat wrap the front coolant pipes,connect clutch cable and put the front bumper on and its finished apart from stereo and silly personnal odds and sods but they are not required NOW
Coolant is in and run to temp,fan has cut in perfectly now 5 times,tickover has now settled down to 900/1000rpm which is exactly where my old 1242 8v sat
today the t piece coolant pipe i required arrived from dan also in the post was my new heater control yellow stickers to match the clocks and also the heat wrap arrived which i wasnt expecting till monday....RESULT:slayer:
2 videos will follow in next post in about 10mins

Now looks good as it should
I wonder about one thing, I now noticed you have an extra CTS mounted in the water pipe. Doesn't the inlet CTS have a 3 pin connector? If so, one of them is a signal for the dash you could use

no its a 2 pin blue sensor exactly the same as is on the cinq originally but i have an aftermarket gauge and im fitting a different thermostat housing at some point with take off points for senders
looking good , is there any reason to wrap the coolant pipe ?
Thanks

no just the coolant pipe that runs across the front and the 4 way join upto the metal pipe...all done and good
That looks almost identical to what Aaron J333EVO had (has?) in his turbo Cinq. Somehow I got the impression from your eariler post (don't ask how/why ) that you made the pipe run inside the slam panelm which would be really cool . I have identical layout as yours, only I was not bothered to use silicon and aluminium (prefered to retain my cam belt cover in place), rubber all the way connected with a plastic connector But I do have a heat shield on the exhaust manifold. Holds good so far for 30kkm
