Now if you were to ask me about putting a zetec in a Hillman Avenger that would be me lol.
I am 6"3 and OK actually find them realy comfortable to drive and the seats are good in a 133.This thread is really making me want a twingo, didn't realise how cheap they are.
Reckon I'd look silly in one being 6ft5 though?!
Plus I would have to part with the berlingo which I cannot do
Much head room left for a few more inches?
Yeah but like Adeyspec says you can change the hight as you can in a clio
I'm yet to tally up the cost of this last round of upgrades, the initial conversion didn't really cost me too much but making the car better to deal with the power a little better and just be a better all round car has probably cost more tbh. Insurance has also been sorted, everything declared came in at £316 for me as my daily, sdp+c 10k miles everything declared through Stirling Insurance.
Hi.After covering a massive 3819 miles since the last mot she now has another years ticket. I got a "well done" for the condition of it from Mr Mot Man and it had and it was given advisory for a chip in the screen. I need to replace the rear number plate bulb holders as one has lost a cover but nothing else to note. Really shouldn't be with the amount of bits its had thrown at it in the last few months

cant see them from the drivers seatGive it till end of Jan and you'll be putting OEM back in

This is true, when you get people trying to hand you a COVID pass or LFT because they want to party behind the car under the strobe light you'll know whycant see them from the drivers seat
Always willing to share
I do try and document everything as much as possible so anyone can do the same if they want that's what the modified car community should be about
Done, I may have thrown some sex wee at it too so you can have my scent with you all day xxx

Was talking about another member who did just that mate haha.
ill leave it all up when I start charging and giving people back some shoddy workmanship so they have the resources to sort it themselves
Was great to see @Ricardos @Brigsy and Nealr19 too. Car did its thing on the dyno laying down near enough the same numbers it did at EFI back when it was mapped so seemed pretty consistent. Whilst there I took the plunge and purchased one of the very few brand new parts for the Twingo, a Cooksport fuel rail. This will allow me to run my rising rate regulator after the rail, hopefully negating the issue they have with the end cylinder running lean. To compliment this I picked up a 19T hybrid turbo also you know because 280bhp in a little 1000kg hatch just isn't enough 
And I was going to be happy with 200bhp per tonneTo compliment this I picked up a 19T hybrid turbo also
My original plan was 250.....And I was going to be happy with 200bhp per tonne
Looks like that's gone out window
Anyway on the last day of the year I managed to sneak in a cheeky turbo swap. I've got a lot going on next week and am in for an operation on my guts and after that mobility and having the ability to work on the car will be very limited so I decided to do this now and get it booked in with EFI when they open back up. There's a possibility even driving is possibly going to be off the cards for 6 weeks. I've decided to just "send it" for now and aim for the magical 300bhp. The turbo should actually be good for a chunk more so will be ok on the next engine if I build one. I still have the fuel rail to fit when my fuel hoses turn up but that should be an easy job to do. The swap itself was very easy, @Brigsy pointed me in the direction of doing a cold side swap which was a really good shout as not only does it make the job easier my "new" rear housing was badly cracked so a win there. No need to go through the process too in depth, undo some bits, remove the chra clamp to the rear housing and wiggle out the core and front housing, replace it all with the new bigger 19T compressor and chra, prime it all then fire it up, jobs a good un I also modified the heat shield/water feed, I don't use this on my car but it form part of a nice heat shield on the right of the engine. All back in, awaiting the Cooksport fuel rail to be fitted then off to EFI hopefully at the end of Jan/start of Feb.
This is a 19T Hybrid so built and not off anything as such, a touch bigger than the 250rs item but you can get them or the 225/r26 turbo made into these.
