like and share the Renault-Nissan Twizy in Quebec

I created a Facebook page for the Renault-Nissan Twizy in Quebec.
I know it will not be easy given the powerful brakes that prevent small European cars to enter the North American market, but the success of a Facebook page could move the lines and the fact that the Twizy is now manufactured by Nissan can also make things easier as the Japanese manufacturer is well established.
So if you think we need to encourage the concept of Twizy, like and share this page!

My Twizy now has a real front hood! Version 2.1

As promised I made a further improvement on the front panel. I already had turned it into true small hood and now it is lockable!

This allows me to store with a little security some objects like a rag, a warning triangle or replacement lights.

A real car, it has a hood, so my Twizy must have a hood ... That's it!

And further improvements are planned by the end of the week!

How to strengthen the fasteners of the front panel?

In a previous article, I explained how to reach the brake liquid container and the front lights. To do so, it is necessary to remove the front panel and the problem is that its fasteners are fragile...
If, like me, you break a clip support, you have to put back in place the broken part with super glue like cyanoacrylate. But this will surely not resist a long time and anyway it will not make it most solid.
So, broken or not, I advise you to strengthen the clip supports... How? ... Read more >>
