Murena / Re: Tailgate cannot be opened.
Last post by matra530 - November 18, 2025, 09:02:15 AMWe tried that. It works on the left, but unfortunately not on the right. I'll probably have to remove the lever in the B-pillar. Hopefully, it's only held in place by the one visible screw in the base plate.

Last post by Grapes - November 17, 2025, 08:01:57 PMMight be able to open it if someone presses down on the glass a bit as you pull the lever on the b pillar.

Murena / Tailgate cannot be opened.
Last post by matra530 - November 17, 2025, 05:38:50 PMHello, my Murena ist showing his femine side and being bitchy. The Bowden cable for the tailgate has insufficient tension on the right-hand lock. As a result, I am unable to open the tailgate.
How can I raise the tension slightly from the outside to access the adjustment? Remove the belt, remove the B-pillar trim, or is there a better approach?

Last post by Murena1400 - November 12, 2025, 08:06:45 AMNot much to update as of right now as the engine block is still away for machining.
However, I have been working on figuring out the intake side of the engine. I have decided to use Weber 50 DCO/SP's. On the photo mounted on a Meeus manifold, but I would like to investigate if I can use a Sodemo manifold.

MATRA SPORTS, La puissance et la gloire
A documentary in two parts by Fabrice Maze from 1996.
These two films are absolutely "must see's" for everyone interested in the amazing story of Matra Sports from the early F3 cars in 1964 over the F1 championship to the final victory at Le Mans in 1974. It has great interviews with all the great men of the project and period footage, and an amazing soundtrack.
Be prepared to spend an evening or two watching these films!

Murena / Re: Getting ready for the road...
Last post by Anders Dinsen - November 08, 2025, 06:55:41 AMJust wanted to share some notes on progress lately, also for my own records.
I have completed cleaning and refitting the two brakcets for the bonnet support rod
Fitted the air filter box on the engine
Fitted the battery with the new brackets
Heater fan refitted with cover
Cleaned up some surfaces with zinga and linseed oil
Sprayed the left side beam inside with linseed oil
Fitted the left one of my new plastic inner fenders
I am working on some glass fiber repairs and has started with the small job of fixing a broken off piece of the side skirt.
Also, I'm in the process of cleaning up the connecting piece between the right front fender and the chassis part in front of the heater fan cover.
Edit: Added some pictures of the resurrected bonnet support rod brackets, surface rust treatment, and the making of my plywood template for the front wheel inner fenders.

Murena / Re: Digital ignition timing
Last post by Anders Dinsen - November 08, 2025, 06:41:43 AMI've agreed with Herman to split the topic to separate out his maintenance thread on the 34CIC, but there's a bug in the forum software which means I can't do it, so that will be later.

When I bought the car in 2007 they just fitted the Citroen version at the local dealer.

Murena / Re: Digital ignition timing
Last post by Anders Dinsen - November 08, 2025, 06:32:20 AMI realized, I haven't shared a block diagram of what I'm doing, so I drew one up this morning. A friend suggested that this is a distributor advance curve tester, and yes, that's exactly what it is, and since it's measuring actual data on the engine, it can be used also for a few other things.
You're also getting a picture of my set up last weekend when I finally got data out of it.
It's still work-in-progress to ensure it works perfect, but that's part of the fun now
