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...
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...
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.....
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.

182 Trophy, spotted joining the m5 at the Tewksbury Junction today at just after 4. I did give you a beep but being in the burgandy twingo it doesnt get seen often. Also saw a Meg 250 shape on the m50 at about 6.55 this morning heading towards the M5
Wedding done, time to prep to the twiglet and hope it deosnt pop. Just a brake fluid change left to do i think. Cant wait for this now, going to be a proper laugh (y)
Twingo has a JH3169 and the clio a JH3186, here are the ratios vs each other. Twingo is listed with my higher rev limit of 100rpm though. Both based on running 195/50/15s

if i were you id go with exhaust, air filter 172 inectors and a remap. see how you go from there. Them bits are of little outlay. Clutch when needed then bigger turbo, then maybe a cam if you find the stock one causing you issues. I expect you will find the limits of the rods before needing a...
