good work man, looks super clean fresh in there

looks like postman pats van in length. Cant wait for this to unfold (y)

knew of the car a while back, that engine swap would make mine a great sleeper and my stock ECU would run the same engine no issues. Very tempted to do similar next year if I still have it. Need to pull the engine and get the big turbo fitted to make some decent numbers first.

a few little pics from the Caffeine and Machine meet today

A few more parts arrived for the big turbo conversion. Need to get a cheap universal actuator on there and buy in some stainless bends and straight and i can start on the down pipe. I will probably mate it to the decat pipe i already have for ease though i might try and increase the outlet size...

you can fit a small one beneath the crossmemeber so you dont need to chop anything but not behind it, the rad and ac are pretty much against it.

loads of internal parts are different, pistons, rods cams piston rings. same crank though. pretty sure the turbo has piston oil sprayers that's the NA doesn't. that was just the parts I checked

was going to suggest an early team dynamic with the bolt cover missing. 99% not a pro race 1, they didnt have bolt covers.

been fully booked since a few days after it was announced

if you fancy adjusting the reg I have a mate with a v6 after a pass

really looking forward to this, going to be a massive turnout

Little update. Car has been motd, failed on a bulb and something else easy but covered for another 12 months now. I stripped the 1*2 rear beam down to find that it's basically identical to the GT beam including arb/tortion bar size. Only difference being the disks vs drum brake setup. What I...

was about to type the same thing

not much, I've got it on a spread sheet. 250rpm maybe? but there are a few longer combos out there I just used what I found in the scrappy

just pre book a space on the caffeine and machine website. When its full they will turn you away and this is looking to be a very busy day

ill be going along to this for some breakfast (y)

Decided to write up a little tuning guide that might be helpful for people looking to tune the D4ft https://turborenault.co.uk/threads/twingo-gt-d4ft-tuning-guide.176841/ Also i have now got a 182 rear beam in the garage. It needs sensors, brake lines, pads and bushes but i will plod along...

game for this again, awesome

what accent? its everyone else that sound funny

money on its had an ecu/uch swap

#becauseracecar or something? short shift and stick extension.... errr. it's in a nice place now

Took a drive out today across some nice roads in wales with Mrs Ewok to pick some seats up. Car kept flashing the eml and idling lumpy. Took it easy as it seemed to cruise fine but it looks like the injector i replaced a few weeks back has packed in, pulling the leads off number 1 makes next to...

I got a little bored, so i made some intercooler ducting up. It's always annoyed me how the front mount kinda just sat there, it's good at what it does due to its size but it could be better, These help hide it some more and should help it be a little more efficient. When the number plates on...

Oooo just managed to bag some RS front seats. One of my peeves with the gt is it seats. It's like driving on a bench, and on track days you hang off them.in the corners. I really liked the ones in my 133 and these arnt too far away. Hopefully collecting in the next week. Google images to show...

Couldnt bring myself to do it, very out of character for me, i usually sell up every 4 to 6 months. So carried on modding instead

So as no one seems to do a short shifter for the Twingo or Clio 1.2 TCE so i gave it a quick crack. Final results are just over an inch less throw and the gear lever sitting half inch closer to the driver. Nothing major, i didnt really find the standard shift that long tbh but i kept seeing...

Also fitted a favourite of mine. The nylon type gear knob. The oem gaitor didn't reach the base of it so I sleeved the shaft with some silicone. In the next day or 2 I should have a few ball end studs and I'll be trying a diy short shift mod, very similar to the early meg 225 versions. There is...

So I had the alignment done this eve, caster is now at around 4 degrees, camber set at 2.1 and about 10min tow out. I drove there with 5 degrees of tow out! camber was 2 on one side and 3 on the other? It's safe to say theres a massive improvement at the front end. The whole lot feels nice and...

kangoo was awesome man, shame to see its gone, cheers for the pax laps at blyton (y) really looking forward to the extra van updates, will be epic

a friend of mine has one that he would sell.
