Feels a little better but I've not actually given it much grief yet. A week or so of driving will give me some feel for it 👍🏻

Pulled this off the draggy today too. Without trying and on a plenty hot day. Already faster than it was. Will have to have a go with some cooler air 😎

Stock timing, a few degrees swing would of changed the out come for sure. We've already made more power from this turbo on stock cams but dialed it back. It's actually a great upgrade just not bringing in the willy waving numbers

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! Nah only joking, so where are we at? Yesterday I took a lovely drive up to EFI Parts for a remap on the new engine setup. The drive was totally un eventful though it was a lovely day so I just took in the scenery (excluding the Birmingham area) Once there a quick chat was...

isn't going to be there if it goes bang lol. its the same as last time you saw it, just faster...... :D

Right, a little recap for those at the back. Engine is back in and running, built up in true pikey fashion. Meg 250RS rods and pistons, Cometic 1.9mm MLS head gasket. Modified 172 cams, 19T hybrid and 250RS injectors (got some new 250 map sensors to go in at the time of mapping too) Slapped in...

cant wait to see it on track (y)

I don't mind travelling for the best (y)

just over 2 hours each way for efi parts (y) I'm not far down the road from you and I always go there

Spotted a red 197 a few times around 6.45am coming through Gorsley towards Newent, any one here? Also a 182 Trophy in Tewkesbury.

physically they go straight in, you wouldn't fit them without mapping at the same time though

6 inlet and 4 exhaust same as the last time you asked? https://www.cliosport.net/threads/group-n-cam-timing.817004/post-12233883

which will inevitably happen again many more times.......

So it's been pretty much 2 months since cracking a ringland and taking the car off the road. I've been pretty crappy with the updates, I keep forgetting to record anything or take pics as I've been popping out and doing bits when I've found the time or energy in-between work and life. Anyway the...

Its getting there slowly, need to put some miles on it now. fitted a new (second hand) john ashley exhaust today. The car idles like a pig/rx7 but it seems to drive nicely and is still very eager to go. Mapping is a month off yet but as long as it all holds together ill give it some laps at the...

In, cars not even back up and running or mapped yet but booked up (y)

Now we need videos of it out hunting 😁

ouch, i saw it on the twingo fb pages

As im no real blogger I fitted the pistons with my back to the camera and didn't even turn it on when I had the wife helping me drop the head back on🤦‍♂️

Latest YouTube update is going live I will update the thread soon too with pics (y)

So after much rolling around as I cant find my old engine stand anywhere I've found the issue, and it seems, very luckily I've not caused any damage to the block/bore. There is a little mark in there but I cant feel it so a deglaze will sort it I'm sure. Had a mare when stripping it all down...

So its been pretty much a year since I first had the car out on the road, all has been going amazingly to be fair and I was going to make a video to show it. The daily had been beat on for a very long time. It had had a bigger turbo slapped on and delivered some very good performance for the...

get it out (y) :D

Been a long while since I've done any actual work on the Twingo, so today I took it upon myself to do what shall be called the @CreweTube mod. Shave over 3kg saved by whipping out most of the rear bumper support and crash protection. All good unless I get a shunt so fingers crossed that doesn't...

a virtual one :LOL:

Usually there's an early bird discount for members... anything like that going on this year for the budget conscious amongst us?

I didn't have it up for long, I've had a fair bit of interest in the last few weeks actually even though its not up for sale. I think its proven itself now as reliable and with the recent updates with the suspension and turbo it's proving its pace too so a little more desirable maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️ The...

Another brief dragy update..... doubt I will be able to better this 60 to 100 time tbh, the gearbox doesn't lend itself to really fast shifts, not sure if a different oil could speed things up but it's a pretty fast car tbh, a 4.99 would be nice.... I will if I can try some 0 to 60s and...
