Need to grab some fuel hose tomorrow as a small section by my fpr is leaking, guessing I nicked it on removal or refitting but other than that its on the deck. Might need to tweak the camber a touch too. Then once that's done it's test drive time, yay 😁

right, mapping confirmed for Tuesday, best pull my finger out

Not actually sure yet 😂 but it should be ready if required if nothing else goes catastrophically wrong.

Busy busy day today. So id been firing off lots of offers on eBay since yesterday, but last night, whilst having a 3am s**t I spotted a gearbox that looked correct but it couldn't be identified. No pictures of the label or anything. So i fired off an email asking for the info. Got a reply at...

So, what a shite day. Its always the small quick jobs that go wrong and f**k things over. To top it off I'm actually awaiting conformation from EFI Parts of a mapping date change as someone else cant make their booking. That's meant to be next Tuesday ffs. Right, as we know my gear shift mech...

Anyone want to do a buy before I burn it ffs Urgh not a good day. A simple job now see's me needing a replacement gearbox :cry:

looks fantastic (y)

I used to rock a ph2 11 turbo. Had the most awesome seats. I stripped it and used it as a track car like a fool. Fell off at llandow in that after a rear brake pad fell out and the pedal hit the floor. Great car and totally unsuspecting at the time, was probably circa 180bhp and handled really...

Thanks 😳👍🏻 though I'd not put my pikey build any where near the standard of some of the stuff in here. This is just a lash up of spare parts and too much time on my hands.

Spotted in Newent this morning

Indeed delivery isn't the best, was part the ecu doing things and us throttling it back a little to try and stop it hitting boost cut. Will be nice to just plant it and not worry. Soon soon, will be great if it holds together

that van will be nuts, potentially another 100bhp on what this will make too!

Gave it a quick oil and filter change with the oil delivered from Opie Oils, came with a cardboard funnel which made pouring in the fluid easy enough. Filter itself is easy to get access too from underneath. Hand up between the rad and block and you can grab hold and twist with little bother...

crank it over with the injectors and coil disconnected, make sure it does so nicely and that the oil pressure light goes out (y) if thats good then send it (y)

Quick video for you, low rev limit and tapering in the throttle but you get the idea Sounds like a fart

not just yet.... soon lol

and power delivery that doesnt look like your running up and down hills lol

yeah, im kinda looking for a solid 250bhp out of it which puts me in sight of the e92 m3 in terms of power to weight.

Knew it felt pretty quick vs the old engine! So I have a friend who has a dyno, plopped the Twingo on there to make sure it was fuelling ok and not knocking its tits off whilst racking up the miles. All good at cruise and very close to lambda when driving normally. So we gently increased the...

Ive had about 11 Renault 5 gt turbos (shitters go for 4-5k now) one a real nice ph1 in electric blue. R5 Gordini Turbo and my last of the line R5 LeCar 2 Turbo. Clio 182 trophy (sold for 900 without the seats) 4 x Nissan 200sx's (s13 2x s14s and a 14a) :cry:

So pulling off is a pig sometimes and it likes to cut out every so often when coming to a stop and the revs drop, and even without being able to open it up, its FAST!. I know I've not driven anything really quick for a while but this thing will do nearly a 100 in a blink without trying and my...

awesome update is awesome (y)

Yeah I'm booked for May 15th

Injectors done already and collected. I gave my buddy them with no info and he messaged me at lunch time saying they were done, all good and then made sure they were 480cc as that's what they came in at. So all clean and ready for mapping. Slapped them in and the car started really well and...

ill let you know if Renault can still get them, im sure i asked a few years back and was told nla

Managed to bag some worn out but still super cool pedals for the Twingo. They were an optional extra in back in the day and I nearly got a set in 2007 (cant remember why I didn't in the end though). Totally forgot about them until someone on FB was saying they didn't want them and wanted to...

yep, fit the oil pan from the gearbox you want to run along with flywheel and clutch for alignment then drill the block for the smaller diameter block mountings. Ive done it before 197 engine to JC5 and my current twingo has the F4rt with a JR5. I've not seen a factory block with both sets of...
