Twingo RS 964kg / 204 hp
Drexler LSD / Avon ZZR 16″ semi slicks / OZ Ultraleggera 16″ wheels / Brembo calipers with AP Racing disks / Dixcel race pads / GAZ Gold 2-way shocks / Recaro pole Position bucket seats / Schroth 6 point harnesses / ACW Motorsports plastic windows / Clio V6 airbox / Clio 182 decat exhaust / Sybele Challenger 6 complete custom ECU mapping
so basically he built a trackday 182?

Confirmed mate. He did a walk round of the car in one of his YouTube uploads.
It's a cracking lap that he's done tbf!

Whichever has fuel
106's have been putting out 200+bhp for years.
I know for a fact id rather crash in a twingo!

Mine *should* have a bit more power than this, and the weight is nigh on the same, so in theory mine will have a bit more than 211bhp/tonne. Proof will be in the mapping!
From what I've seen the conversion is relatively straight forward. It'll be the wiring that will give you the most grief until it becomes as common as the clio3-meg225 swap I'd imagine.

Yeah I agree! The twingo will have a far better safety cell/ncap rating.
Back in the day we used to go round for laps in my mates nova. It was a c20let converted nova with around 280bhp and it took to the air over a hump at one of the fastest sections on the nordschliefe! If it hadn't gone well we would've been dead as I don't think a nova would cope very well bouncing off the Armco at 140+. Lol!

The twingo 133s are based on the Clio 1*2 platform aren't they?

Allegedly mate yes, but I can't confirm 100%

Guy is really sound. Was speaking to him with Christopher when I was over there last. We snuck off for a quick lap during the WEC and he was parked next to us in the carpark. It's a serious bit of kit that car.

Had a 133 when he was building this so watched the build really closely. There's plenty of laps pre engine swap and he is 100% committed all of the time - if in doubt, flat out. It is a serious piece of kit though and he can pedal like a man possessed.
To be fair it made perfect sense to do the swap, extracting power from the K4M is ridiculously expensive as I found out when I owned one and toyed with the idea. They still look the tits though and prices have fallen on their arse.
Excuse for a picture.......

Anthony. I got passed by him going balls out a good few years back and always thought it went very, very well. Even more so when i found out it was still pretty stock power wise.
Superb driver and sure knows his way around the NL, He had thought about the Megane lump into it but i think that was going to be a bit too much work to do so.
Aye thanks pal it was a cracking little car. Bit of an impulse purchase to be fair but it never missed a beat in the year that I owned it. Only complaints were that it just didn't have enough grunt from the 1600. It was alright once it was rolling but you had to stay up it all the time to have any fun. Sounded the tits!! Depreciated like a stone though [emoji17] you can pick early ones up for 4k ish now.
@The Russian. Got a green cotton panel filter sitting here doing nowt if you want it for the 133? Was in mine for about 4000 miles as new basically.

182
The same thing happened with 1*2's years back, then they went back up in price. Hopefully that will be the same with the Twingos.
My 20 year old brother has just bought one as his first car. Picked it up at a fantastic price.
I drove it home when we picked it up and although not as much power as the 182, it was really fun to drive. His is a cup and it stuck to the road like glue when cornering.
The massive benefit is that they feel so modern still. It makes my 182 look really old now.
I saw the above one on the Twingo forum but that place is so quiet. Its a shame as there are loads of questions we have but it seems to be difficult to find out as the forum is so quiet unlike CS.
My Silverstone had the Cup Chassis and it was an absolute riot to be fair, had to do tyres and changed the Conti's for Hankook V12 Evo's and the car suffered a bit due to softer sidewalls but it was still really lively, great balance surprisingly good brakes.
If there is anything you need to know and I can help then I'll be happy to fella [emoji106] on another note, may have seen above I offered up a green cotton panel filter too so if I don't get a response and your brother wants it he can have it. It does nowt for me so cover postage and it's yours.
