500 acceleration 0-60 video

[lbrench]

I know it has been covered maaaany times before, just still doesn't make sense to me. 11,000 225 vs a 14,000+ Fiat. Reason he couldn't afford to run it was because he remapped and drove everywhere like a t*sser. I have no time for people that live beyond their means on credit.

If you have no time for me f**k off and don't waste your time posting in here

I didn't make it personal, I generalised and said 'people'. A forum is for people to voice an opinion. I just don't get why anybody would plough all their income into an assest that is constantly dropping in value.

 

[LowLife.]

lbrench has so much time, he posts twice yo.

All of my income? It's about 11% of my monthly income

Why does it matter. Its HIS money. If you don't get it its your problem, Lets be fair its not dropping that much. Yes its dropped because he got it brand new, same as any car will do. Big deal price you pay to have something brand new.

Think it may be jealousy talking? 1.2 Clio.....60 Plate Abarth. Hmmmmmm

 

[Curtis!]

Why is everyone assed about why he bought it or if he can afford this or that? Does Lynden need to post all his fuel receipts, bank statement and direct debits to make sure he's ok posting about a car like everyone else on here?

 

[LowLife.]

I actually would like to meet lbrench and have a sit in the car tbh. He sounds like an alright guy, just gets loads of s**t from dicks on the forum

 

[Munson]

And we're off again...

 

[Christopher]

FFS.

 

[LowLife.]

Funs over. Cavalry has arrived.

 

[Christopher]

I can't even be arsed anymore. Carry on.

Is a nice car tbh. The seats seems to hold you much better than the sport seats. Feel just a bit tighter. Good interior from fiat tbh. Compared to others, ie Panda.

I am a nice guy, I just get annoyed at this forum some times, your welcome to come to the North west meet and have a go in it

I've thought the seats were like quavers when I sat in it lol, small thin and long! But I am a skinny ass.

I'm sure you are mate but it appears sometimes that you have to be the centre of attention and you do this by posting threads about everything.

My advice...spend less time online trying to impress people and more time enjoying real life! You've got a new car to enjoy - go enjoy it. Just don't post everything you do in it.

 

[Christopher]

To be fair to the guy, I asked him to post this as a comparison to my Twingo RS 0-60 vid.

 

[twingors]

So all this your fault Chris! lol You must have known this would have happened with people?

The 500 looks slower to 60 but jeremy proved the 500 was faster!! and the colt czt thing aswell!

 

[Herr Flick]

so without reading 7 pages, are you going to be doing any other mods to its? (to go with the stripping out or is it just so you can hear the noise.)

looks like a nice car mate but they're a bit too 'bubbly' for me.

 

[Christopher]

He tested the Esseesse, mate. Lynden's is the standard 130bhp version. For now.

The Twingo looks quicker to 60 because it does it in second. The 500 needs third.

 

[oska]

Leave the seats out, they are probably a waste of space being such a small car anyway. Strut braces and the box of tricks and it'll be a good little motor.

 

[twingors]

Ah didnt know jeremy used the esseesse model mate. Get the 500 mapped and he is onto a winner

Twingo has no tuning options at all tbh!

 

[RDH]

Think it may be jealousy talking? 1.2 Clio.....60 Plate Abarth. Hmmmmmm

In all fairness I could do exactly the same as Lynden and go out tomorow and get one on finance just like he did. Just don't want to.

Someone needs to F4R one.

 

[twingors]

Someone somewhere has put a Megane 225 engine in a basic Twingo. Someone posted pics up on the renaultsport forum. Will do a search:approve:

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, a German chap. I've seen pics of it at the 'Ring.

I'd love my 182 engine in my 133. lol.

 

[Munson]

Civic Type R engine in the 133. Done.

 

[Christopher]

That'd be mental. Hilarious, even.

It could easily handle another 50bhp. Another 100bhp would be awesome.

 

[twingors]

A 182 engine could be possible easily probably! Type R engine about a different story. Gearbox wouldn't fit. Renault couldn't fit a 6th gear as there is only a inch clearance between box and chassis according to Renault

 

[RDH]

Your 182 still garaged Chris? How is the build quality on the Twingo compared to the clio?

Anything fits, money permitting. It'd be an awesome lottery win project.

Still using it TBH mate. I keep saying "one more month" and it keeps getting used. lol.

Twingo gets used more though.

 

[Munson]

lol I was only 50% SRS.

Fitting a TMC tuning box and filter tomoro

 

[lbrench]

fitted the harness i got for £10 yesterday.....i have been told its the same style one that abarth used to use in the old 500s being it a sabelt one and i think it sits really nicely on the seat, holds you in a lot tighter as the seats are crap and as stupid as it sounds it feels like im alot more in control of the car and inspires a lot more confidence when pushing on

car also rolled 163.4bhp and 198 ftlb of torque

[Goodj]

370Z V6 in the boot of a twingo, winner

 

[Ali]

Torn over whether i like them or not, one of the boys at my flats, just bought one as a winter run around! It's the essseeesssseeeesse one. I thought they had Brembo's as std? his doesn't? Sounds pretty good in all fairness, pretty loud.

 

[JD]

Seen a few of these on the way back from town today. Still think they're quite funky, but not the car for me.

Presume you're at the lunch on Sunday fella, will come have a nosey.

 

[Christopher]

I'll believe you're coming when I see those forearms.

 

[Munson]

Is that safe fitting? Looks like they'll cut your head off in an accident.
