Finally took delivery of the coilovers. i was getting a little worried after the company i ordered through didnt reply with tracking details. Made a start on fitting them but needed to take the old shocks to a local garage to get the top nuts undone. Thus time has been cut short so i will finish...

Aaaaannnnnnnd done. Roughed out the pipework then chopped out the crossmember a little..... dusted all edges with some black paint i had lying around to hold off corrosion. I did at one point think id have to ditch the AC as it was tight but think i have that sorted now using a mix of oem and...

Tidy, 280mm big brake conversion on the Twingo GT, should be identical on the 5 gtt and the valvers and any base version clio or twingo that had the vented 238mm and 259mm brakes. l just need to complete the other side and bleed everything and take it for a test drive. Props to @niconkk as it...

Defo a fan of the f1s might be hard finding a set in 16 though? ive seen a few gt's on the 182 wheels and didn't think it suited? I ran with15 inch f1s on my old RS

Managed to get 10min to make the new improved induction kit, 2 x 70mm 45 ali pipes, 70mm silicone joiner and 70mm ramair filter. Its tight but alot better than the diy bodge id done earlier. And it sounds awesome with a little rev.

Updates, turbo should be here friday so i can take a closer look at a swap. I have some 20mm spacers on the way to help fill the arches a touch more. Ive dug out the old mk1 clio turbos intercooler too, needs a tidy up but considering it fits a mk1 and mk2 clio ok it should fit the twiglet...

Been doing some digging around and stuff on potential upgrades, hard work as no one in the uk does much more than a injector swap and map. I contacted a company who were happy to hybrid the turbo for me, great stuff, not too big an outlay ether. Then i did some old skool thinking and tried to...

after a quick throw together of an open filter

sooo my car was really s**t on some no name tires, felt scary at 15mph on wet corners..... turns out the previous owner fit the directional tires on the wrong way round! anyway, this eve i threw on the 172 sport wheels. i think they suit it though need to be pushed out 20 to 25mm to fill the...

So i have a slight plan of action for the twin-go-slow. a few areas need sorting for me, the suspension and wheels (so coilovers needed) brakes (either 285mm txi brakes or some sort of hub swap for 172 items) and the engine.... fmic, proper downpipe, air filter, bigger injectors, bigger fuel...

Thought id bosh a quick thread up on here, i do have a full one over at TurboRenault.co.uk but thought id share it here too. Please move it over if its in the wrong section. A few people might know me here, ive owned many RS clios, Ph1 on itbs cams and standalone about 11 years back, i built a...

first thing I look at when booking a holiday is what advanced driver courses I can do there............ ????

bigger is always better, don't listen to the hype about lag, mines flipping huge

probably illegal yes, not sure on the actual rules of it? its there for MOT tests;) Minimum of 2inch bore, would probably benefit being bigger but the cat/downpipe will restrict everything anyway. You will reach the limit of the turbo before needing anything bigger tbh. Having a turbo inline...

slap the above on with a set if clio 172 injectors and you will see circa 140bhp. Intercooler will need to be custom thrown together as there arnt any off the shelf kits. Protoxide in Italy are about the only people who make a decat pipe, any exhaust place can knock up a cat back though. I had...

@andybond looks like a half decent save to be fair

Yep gt is a factory turbo car, revs are circa 3500rpm for 70mph its a little stung out but a diesel 5th gear can be swapped in, i uses mine 50 miles a day mainly on the motorway, best ive seen from a tank is 53mpg (y) standard seats are s**t and like sitting on a park bench ? its a gt turbo...

@blokes? not sure how much boost he ran on the 133. My Gt comes from factory with a turbo, 99bhp though (or 101bhp depending on where you look)

133 is a good car but so underpowered tbh. @bloke built a turbo one mind.... the gt i have is basically a low spec clio front and rear so can be upgraded in all the same way. Ill probably end up fitting the 172 suspension to it soon but mapped up its basically 150/150 bhp/lbft. I replaced my...

1149cc 4 pot and a hairdryer ?

a tiny 1149cc engine and a few bolt ons really (y)

ha, nah I'm cheap, I only replace when I get the miles out them. old t1rs had life so stayed on the back and put the newer tr1 on the front ? deadly in the morning on a damp greasy track mind.....

hopefully I'll be back in it next year with a wider track, better brakes and some sticky tires rather than the old t1r and TR1 tire combo ??

cheers man. mr2 sounded and went like the tits

It felt a bit lacking on the straights but it is only a 1149cc. Few bits just bolt ons, air filter, returned fuel system, 172 injectors, decat and exhaust. Mapped by Chris at efiparts. soft wolowy AP coilovers and pug brakes on 172 disks. All on road brake pads and tires.

if any one has any footage with a slow burgundy twingo in id love to see it, totally forgot to flick the gopro on all day
