Not driving games as I find them crap on consoles. Open to pretty much anything else. I used to like stuff like c&c and the mech warrior games on the pc years ago.
You can probably shift a load of weight out. Just copied this from my thread for the Twingo, the weights should not be to different to a 172 as lots of the parts should be similar.
Front seats 38kg
Rear seat 15.5kg
Parcel shelf 1kg
Rear cards 2kg
Boot carpet and plastic 1kg
Rear belts and...
The little Twingo can surprise people on the twisty stuff, especially roads I have done on road rallys and roads I grew up on in Scotland.
It is amazing how many people with proper fast cars can't drive for s**t lol
I would of thought even if you couldn't use it in some racing championships. There is getting enough clio's in rallying to possibly make it viable if the cost isn't to high. I know the rear can be an issue on the clio/twingo on bumpy stuff.
There is some good videos of Chris Ingram in the r2...
Used to rate the 3's for the road rally cars as they are brilliant in the wet and muddy lanes. I am half tempted by the 5's to use as wets for the rally car. Had 3's on the scenic but as above didn't last ages but still getting on towards 20k on the front.
I have over 120kg out of the Twingo and still got loads to go so should make 200bhp per tonne out of the wee Twingo.
Think I only saved 2kg with the front door glass changed to plastic. You save loads more gutting the inside of the doors.
You can get the clio Estate in 1.6 vvt guise so why not turbo that? @bloke is your man to talk to for that.
Surely that is a lot easier than an engine swap.
I don't have a clio (got a Twingo) but would an internal fuel line kit be good as more and more 172/182 are becoming rally cars so the lines have to be run inside. Just a thought!
Don't think I could do lhd. I know his car was a giant killer it was always quick when I seen it and got very good results. So if its better should be good!
I will be happy to even get back out on the stages at the back in my little shopping car.
So are them subframes just bolted to the original seat mounting points or on welded in bars? They definitely shouldn't of done what they have given that the hit wasn't as bad as it could of been.
Bad luck Nathan, at least your both ok and walked away.
By the sounds of it the cars not to bad for an off at speed. Keep your chin up as you were setting some very good times.
What about a Punto Abarth? An ex had a sporting the 120tjet and that was fairly decent.
Sticking with Renault a Twingo 133 not as quick in a straight line but quicker every where else than a f500 and probably cheaper to run than a 172.
Looking good! I have the fuel and brake lines to do in my car next (twingo rs) so it's good to see other people's.
What's the advantages of epas for you Clio guys and what do the controllers do? Just the twingo has epas
Ha ha love the attitude mate! Think I am just jealous of every one who spends money and time on there car lol. Only spent 3 days on mine this year so far and we are over half way now :(
