Re: RS Twingo 0-100 Run...

That was just getting fun :dapprove:

Re: RS Twingo 0-100 Run...

Sigh. Fine.

The 500 and 133 are both great. One is cheap and cheerful, one is expensive and cheerful. Both are great to drive. One is easier to tune.

Both would be close around a track in standard trim. Both make you look a bit gay.

Fin.

Vids to follow.

Does the Twingo have Playstation steering?

Re: RS Twingo 0-100 Run...

No, just playstation pedals

 

[Christopher]

Re: RS Twingo 0-100 Run...

Nope, it's awesome. I was pretty surprised.

Loads of feel.

The only thing that bugs me is there's a fair bit of kickback through the steering. Like when you're going over expansion joints on a sliproad, under load.

Other than that, it's superb.

Mine doesn't have them. Just the alloy RS ones.

On three wheels?

If you aren't sure, a good way to tell for next time is to look in your rear-view mirror.

Re: RS Twingo 0-100 Run...

lol, you could clearly see the car was moving at nowhere near that speed.

Re: RS Twingo 0-100 Run...

Proper 0-60 run. Completely standard car. Airbox bung removed.



And a quick iPhone 4 pic.

pretty quick actually

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, it doesn't hang about. After 60 it's pretty slow. Worst motorway cars ever.

70mph is 4800rpm. LOL.

 

[Danny133]

ill get u a 0-60 in mine its not standard and it sounds like a monster

 

[Christopher]

It's got an open IK. It'll be losing power, trust me.

The OEM airbox is brilliant. Much better than the setup on the 182's or 197/200's.

sounds similar to mine, i would put a 0-60 up of mine but it will just get full of idiot comments and then get closed :dapprove:

 

[theduck]

197/200 shares its airbox with all of the nonesport petrol clios, with the exception of the 1.2 iirc. So it isnt ever going to be good!

Post it up, in a separate thread and as long as it's not by a school, I'll keep an eye out in there.

Would be nice to see a comparison.

The feed is at the bottom of the box and leads right down to the bumper grille. Really direct.

sounds like they are got it right then, no heat soak at all then really

 

[Christopher]

I wedged my iPhone under the headrest. lol.

Heat soak much?

 

[Christopher]

Yep. Plus, they're not fast cars, really. Nothing worse than a ridiculously loud warm hatch.

 

[Craigus]

I'm not trying to bait, but Lol.

 

[Munson]

Seems pretty quick once vtec kicked in yo.

 

[Christopher]

I'm not trying to bait, but Lol.

What a MONSTER.

 

[Charlie.]

That orange bay is sickkkkkkkkkkk.


NAAT.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Someone has found out how easy it is to change the Twingo speedo for MPH to KPH, LOL
Honestly they are not to much slower than the 172/182.
Destroyed a chelsea tracter the other day in mine, and put a 520 BMW to shame as well.

 

[Christopher]

Up to sixty they're nippy. But the 2.0's are faster all round. In any gear, my 182 will pull immediately on the Twingo.

Provided you've not added random orange crap and a huge open filter.

They're awesome in the corners though!

 

[Munson]

Ford.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. I miss him.

 

[twingors]

Yes they are quick up to top end in 3rd and then all goes peep tom lol. 4th and 5th it lacks but makes up for it in cornering speed in my opinion

 

[lbrench]

I'm not trying to bait, but Lol.

holy heat soak batman

 

[Craigus]

I don't think you could get a worse position for an open induction than that.

 

[lbrench]

this

 

[lbrench]

he must be loosing about 20-25bhp alone with that

 

[Craigus]

I doubt he would lose that much.

 

[Christopher]

No way near. It'll be throttle response, more than anything.

They're not the best anyway. Bloody FBW systems.
