#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.

send it over ill see what i can find for you

well that knocks swapping it out easily a pain. I'll get a beam and start scratching my head as to what pikey mix I use on the twingo 👍🏻

yeah that's the bit I'm on about, spline ended bar up the middle of the beam?

not yet...... lol

so i couldn't just fit the lesser spec sensor in the complete 182 beam?

im assuming the 172/182 rear has a stiffer roll bar than the 1.6 stuff, hmm ill see what i can find down the scrap yard.

boom well thats that sorted then, didnt think about the abs with having drums. @YorkshireKyle do you know what tooth count it has off the top of your head?

Front wishbone and arb upgrades with added stiffness and extra caster. Basically the twingo has the povo spec clio style arb though its the same width as the 172 item and the wishbones are near enough the same size, just a slightly different shape and angle of mounting the lower ball joint. The...

the car is still for sale, i have a Stuttgart itch to scratch

indeed that's me, I'm down in A&T

@NBG182 so we work in the same place? have to say hello

another spot in tewkesbury also a 10plate white twingo rs 133 parked up in the centre of tewkesbury at about 10.45 today (sunday) and a yellow meg 250+ heading out of tewks at around the same time.

bolts up, coil pack is in the way of the turbo though

yarp, but then they do look very similar....

.

they have a new style wear indicator on them. probably 3k road miles in and a track day, I'll check the wear and report back

Perfectly fine when pushed on but i dont go full super hero tbh. Only time I've actually had an issue was at blyton, first thing when they said it would be super slippy after the shower. It was lol. On the road I've not found an issue yet. I'd put them higher on the list than rainsport 3's.

I run them on the twingo and highly rate them for the money. Run them daily and had them on there at blyton. No major slip in the dry or when being leaned on but then I dont have massive power.

maybe look at the K4m intake manifold off a twingo RS, not sure if it fits but both a k4m engine
