@K4M_clio did they work?

send me a pm tomorrow to remind me, i may have some in the garage (y)

This is it. Not sure what direction I will go with it but I'll start a thread once I decide 👍🏻

Gone.... I've picked up a cheap early 986 boxster. Not sure it'll be a project as such, but I've wanted one since the release of porsche challenge on the ps1. Ticking a box 👍🏻

Chap wants to collect on Friday 🤞🏻 cars not sold until the moneys in my hand and the v5 is signed over though

This is it! the final 24hrs of sale of the Twingo F4rt. 300 bhp in 1000kgs of car. 100-200kph comes in at sub 10 seconds (9.76 last time I tried with dragy), its very brisk. Grab a bargain and have a pretty quick daily or turn it into a dedicated track toy with a few mods. Remember you are...

Cheers, had some decent interest so far but it's not done till the cash is in my hand or bank. Hopefully the people bidding are serious 👍🏻

So whilst going over the car I found the old hose I had used for the brake/clutch reservoir had started to deteriorate. Annoying as it was purchased as brake fluid compliant. Anyway I placed an order with Merlin Motorsport for some of their Cohline 2337 EPDM brake reservoir hose to replace it. I...

It is indeed a factory colour. Im sure it was only available on the facelifted later twingo RS133's though.

The chubby bearded guy with glasses who next year will be able to get work as a garden centre santa, tis me 👍🏻

I've had a look over a few of the converted ones now, doesn't seem like too much trouble to get them in and running

A few pics from the pap at the Curbs event (y)

there's a few threads over on turborenault.co.uk but most owners seem to be of the facebook generation and don't post build threads anymore 🤷‍♂️

thanks, was a good day out. I go for the social, the cars way to long geared for such a small track. Really good laugh though (y)

Que some max power era music and add in some shaky camera footage and call it a YouTube vid. Tag yourselves in (y) Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe.

ouch not good. Any idea what's actually failed causing the smashed up plug? valve head dropped off or something? K24 would be savage (y)

ooo please update with the hidden weight mod when done. I can do the same to mine then (y) also a link to the auto headlight switch retro fit would be great cheers :D

And we are back and rolling. New turbo back on and doing the business. Boost is lower than before due to it flowing better than the old unit. I run open loop boost control so it needs a few presses on the up button. Unsure what to do now. Got a hankering for another retro and i think I've gone...

Spotted in tewkesbury today

Whilst the kids and wife were out in found a few spare hours to look at fitting the rs133 undertray. The holes all lined up with ones on the subframe but had no actual fixings or threads in them. I'm unsure how they are held on on the 133 but I went with rivnuts and stainless cap head bolts...

Fresh

As above, my replacement oem style (but with larger bars) rad was fine on the road but struggled on track and hots days with high ambient temps. I've swapped out to an external thermostatic oil cooler and ali rad but in the oem style lots of fins and I've dropped temp instantly, Not tried it on...

So a small update, the car is currently off the road. Turbo was whipped off and sent to TurboDynamics for a refresh. I also included a spare stock turbo just in case they needed any spare parts to work on mine. The report came back and it wasn't great tbh. There was some forward an back play in...

The proceeds of the picture sale from the TurboRenault.co.uk pap have been donated to Dementia UK this morning. Total came in at £315.30 (y)

supercharged and turbocharged 1.4 petrol

I've got a green one, been our family car for 7.5 years. Ours is povo spec though. Had the full rebuild for the oil issues early on in its life and doesn't use a drop. I don't top it up between yearly services. Great easy car to drive and can get a fair bit in it. I think in that time its...
