Yeah the Twingo had the old welly on, was awesome on that. I went with the Forge item for direct fit and what not. I mean its not bad as such, I just think it could be a lot better. Probably a decent upgrade for a stock/stock mapped car, the oem intercooler is shocking on that. Probably asking...

Was actually checking some old track day vids, 15 ambient was seeing 40s on pulls! Thats only on what I could see, imagine it being alot worse on 20+ days. Recovery was still decent though. On the road I dont think its an issue. Not a bad shout on a welly tbf

Still tinkering, giving the car a go with the recirc removed, same as I do with all the turbo motors. Gives them that "dose" sound normally. Hasn't thrown a wobbly on the dash yet but if it does I'm sure I could just code it out. Sounds pretty cool. Still want to look the boost pipework, I...

This is a pretty big update (in my eyes) for Clio 4 RS aftermarket support. Ive posted this chaps youtube stuff previously, along with his properly in depth info on hpfp and injector flow rates (why the clio 4 rs hpfp taps out at around 300bhp) hes been working on motec/renault stuff and now he...

Had a little time in the garage today, decided to take a look at what failed in the gearbox. 24hr support from Steve Swan (thanks again (y)) Cage in the end bearing seems to have failed and locked up. The end bearing is very stiff on the shaft and has spun slightly in the housing. Hopefully the...

Seems to be 1-2 degrees cooler on general driving (4/5 above ambient instead of 5/6). On boost at speed its also a bit cooler than it was. What I did notice the most was it seemed to recover quicker than previously seen/noted. That's about as technical as its going to get without proper pre and...

Bit of trim added. I may fully contour it to the bonnet if I make a revised version

Its always a thought at the back of my mind. Id defo miss it though, great all round car. Not sure what id replace it with if I was to let it go. Only thing i could think of would be a proper kit car

I was bored and had a little time on my hands. Something ive been wanting to knock up for a while was a heat shield to protect the big open filter I have. Had similar on my old Leon cupra R from badger 5 so knocked up a shield from aluminium. Mounted it on a cotton real rubber at the back to...

I've come to the conclusion that I'm getting very old, this should have been a simple job and it did me in. Took way too long and that really annoyed me. Anyway, gearbox out and in the garage

So I managed to get hold a gearbox today, I am told it is a r10 1300 box. Trying to give it a clean up as its very dirty. The cups (cant remember if that's wat Steve called them) are loose, one was off enough for the diff to move about. With them pushed up and turning the input the diff rotates...

want to see the car make some noise, then lock up.... watch this

sounds awesome (I may be biased...) :D indeed, debating slapping a later item in the hole for now whilst trying to source the parts for a stronger 5 speed gearbox build
