Just also thinking, perhaps I need to have a look at other cars that use the same platform such as the Nissan Micra, Modus and a few of the Dacia models which might yield some options.

Hi all, I am looking to get a rear ARB for my mk3 non sport (its a pre facelift 57 plate) as I know stiffening up the rear slightly can help massively in a FWD car. I can only seem to find rear ARB kits for the RS although I am getting conflicting information about the Whiteline BRR10Z kit...

Quick update on the car, not a huge amount has changed, I have swapped out the 'upgraded' Cabasse' system and fitted a Pioneer unit, there are hidden ISO connectors behind the radio, the Cabasse system is slightly odd as the CD changer is in the dash and the head unit is actually under the...

Yeah, planning to run with stock shocks which is why I am looking at probably going with the Eibachs, unless there are any other springs people usually run? Are you able to get shorter shocks for the non sport to easily run the H&Rs?

Hi all, I will be looking to swap out the stock springs with some performance springs on my non sport Mk3 1.2 TCE 100, options are either the Eibach Pro or the H&Rs. The Eibach springs drop the car by 30mm...

Indeed, its basically the 75bhp D4f with a 16v head and boost, throttlebody is 40mm it would seem and its not got an idle control valve on that TB (took it out to clean it). I have a set of 172/182 injectors sitting on the desk ready to install when I go for a remap, initial changes will be to...

Hi all, Looking to change the trim pieces around the vents, clocks, speaker surrounds and the dash to a different colour, they are currently silver as standard and I am looking at options for a different colour. The car is black so tempted to go with a gloss piano black to contrast slightly...

Here is my 'as delivered' photo of the car, given it a quick wash and wax - paint will need correcting but currently going through everything to get it in top shape, just got the cambelt, waterpump and all belts replaced as well as a set of new tyres.

Thanks for that, I have a few spare intercoolers and other turbo parts in the garage from previous cars so might see what fits. Looks like 172 injectors aren't that expensive so will get a new set of those for when the time comes. I might go over to the Twingo forum as I know the GT had the...

Hi all, I am picking up a pre facelift Mk3 Dynamique SX this weekend, its got the 1.2 TCE 100 engine, so turboed 1.2 engine based on the older D4F block but with a 16V head and a turbo. I went for this model as I like the shape of the Mk3 pre facelift and as the TCE info goes - fuel economy of...

Actually getting a few good ideas on the below thread as my car is basically 100% the same as standard and the list of mods seem to be about right for what I am after, maybe not the larger spoiler but the stock spoiler is still pretty good...

Yeah I am thinking just going Eibachs on stock shocks, maybe a strut brace if there is one and perhaps a remap at some point in the future, will upgrade the tyres to something better but slightly limited in the 195/50/16 size unlike the 195/50/15!

Because it will make the car slightly more enjoyable to drive to and from work vs the standard car, coupled with the fact the other car is aiming for 400bhp/ton I don't really need anything powerful for the daily, 100bhp/120bhp remapped will still be fairly fun.

Hi all, I am picking up a mk3 pre facelift '07 1.2 TCe this weekend, aware its not a sport model but I am looking at wheel, tyre and suspension components which i am guessing would be the same across the mk3 model? Are there any common performance parts sites usually used? I will be using my...

Hi all, I am picking up a Mk3 1.2 TCe dynamique (pre facelift) with the stock 16" wheels, spoiler, side skirts etc this coming Saturday, I am 100% aware that its not a sport model but hear me out, it will be my daily drive and the plan is to upgrade suspension and handling much like the sport...
