cheers for that, ive fired them an email (y)

Yay triplets

I'm a fat guy with a beard no tag needed 😁🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed, has a better bite now with the bigger master cylinder and fresh pads but the same as they were then. The callipers arnt catered for like the 172 setup but there's a few options 👍🏻

I've not given the car much attention for a few weeks, its been parked up and I've been stuck in hospital with too much time on my hands. Anyway whilst there I did start piecing together a wish list of brake parts that I needed for a slight upgrade, I just need to find them all. Brake...

Would of been awesome to come spectate, but also being fat, I spent my day on the sofa with a fan chilling my balls😂 Looks like it goes flipping well mind good stuff

head down the m50 and meet the Gloucestershire people in Tewkesbury

had to give mine away, though i keep eyeing up old r5s or r11's to drop a d4ft in.... anyway back on topic

Its a single cam setup, im sure the cam and crank have markers on too so point them in the right direction and fit the belt. Possibly a crank locking bolt.

no, max revs do not change, speedo does change with a rolling radius change. the dash can be calibrated for certain sizes of wheel/tyre using can clip but its not ever that accurate tbh

Washing your hair?

If you list your start point and route you might get a few more takers. Gloucester is still SW 👍🏻

Pretty sure @RustyMojo is organising a drive to this

Pretty sure revs on the dash is taken from engine speed and nothing to do with wheel speed at all on these. Wheel speed on the dash is adjustable within a few parameters for different size wheels and tyres via clip.

@RustyMojo I'll have to see how I'm on the day bud, currently in hospital but will hopefully be out by then and able to come along 👍🏻 I may take the shortest/quickest route for me if i do though so don't wait for me.

Just to be the other guy, I've reused the sump gasket on a few engines with no issues at all. I just make sure its clean, no splits and sits slightly proud of the groove. I had one that was flush so i replaced it. Never used sealant on an f4r.

So had a little play in it today, nothing too mad as obviously stopping and sprinting to 60 on the road isn't all that fun. Wheelspin central 😂 that said Dragy clocked a 5.47 0-60mph and I can just clip it in 2nd gear. For comparison a new 4wd Yaris GR does it in a very similar time👍🏻

Depending on how I am that morning and what car I'm in I could be up for that. I'll keep an eye out for the details 👍🏻

I also dug out a picture of my old SC Clio's quarter mile time slip from just over 10 years ago! Took a lot of Facebook digging to find it. This is my personal target to beat in the Twingo, both have roughly the same horsepower, the Twingo has loads more torque but the SC 172 delivered it a lot...

I went and checked back on my original build thread, the rear seats I mention in the video actually weighed in at 19kg each! I removed all of it and weighed it back in the day (see here) 67kg of weight was removed from the car so I've basically gone back to that. A lightweight battery and seats...

The UK's fastest Twingo Challenge. Whilst I'm aware its not a supercar slaying machine it is pretty spritely, so I've challenged myself to have the UK's quickest quarter mile Twingo mk2, a 1 horse race against myself maybe? It should be a good laugh and using a Draggy and eventually/hopefully...

Spiking will be the actuator but its pretty inherent in all smaller turbos, you will struggle to eliminate it completely running manual control. Old school lag slag turbos have less of an issue as they spin up slower and things react faster. Modern ecu's have lots of strategies in place to...

a little bit of sex wee just came out!

Hopefully not lol. If I get it sorted ill bring it along. Drop me a pm a few days before hand to remind me (y)

on a Clio? I've got an old version of clip that I haven't dug out for a while but it only worked on Clio's nothing newer. I will see if I can get it working again

I've added some speed holes...... well its more a hope it may help, the back on the car gets quite light and skittish at speed, the last car I had this on was my old supercharged Clio which could also do double motorway speeds with little effort. I did it to that, and well I think it helped. The...

So you gain power running it? I've been thinking of getting one for my Twingo f4rt just to keep intake temps screwed right down but will definately consider it if i can gain a few bhp too (y)

Poo sounding F4rt noises, always thought they sounded abit flat and off, like the old sr20det in a 200sx. Still half decent for a Twingo (y)

I spent some time putting together an intro vid for the Twingo, just trying to cover a lot of the questions I get asked regarding it and giving a little bit of info if you wanted to do the same/similar thing. Its long and poorly edited and probably misses most of the info you want but here it...

ive had a dodgy pre cat lambda ruin a cars drivability and fail to the point of stopping it running so fingers crossed its as simple as that for you (y) EDIT, even found the post and thread from 2014 https://turborenault.co.uk/threads/clio-182-trophy-back-to-oem-ish.569/post-123736
