Not many pictures here. I had problems with the hydraulics. I did not measure the diameter of the pistons correct. It turned out to be too small. The pressure regulator cut in and out at 175-145 bar. The car needed approx 160bar. I realized the problem after I crashed the hydraulic pump. This happened since I didn’t know that the pump is driven by the camshaft on a Citroen (half the revs). There were small metal chips in the system and I had 175 bar all the time. The hydraulic system was very fast at this time and it almost made the car to jump.

I also had issues with the engine. The biggest was that I got the wrong tempsensor so the ECU thought it was -273.15 C. It took a gallon of gas just to start. I have a muffler that looks like a balloon as a memory. In 1998 it started to work well.
