Induction coil, pobably the one closest to the battery tray. Known issue with the Twingo RS due to water leakage from the scuttle panel. Could be a problem for the GT aswell.

What did you have to do ECU wise to get this running? (Maybe I missed it in past pages).

What gearbox are you using and what changes have been done to the subframe?

The tape is from the factory, mine has it too. Without it the fender will have gaps and will come off at high speeds when the air grabs it.

Doesn't sound like a linkage failure, but more a bushing failure. If you get underneath the car, you can see and possibly wiggle the dogbone at the back of the under cover.

I did stainless brakelines with decent fluid, high carbon standard disks and Ferodo DS2500 pads. Hasn't faded or let me down on track. When warm it also brakes hard. Very usable on the street aswell.

ET 45 will be perfect. Maybe ET42 is still possible without rubbing. I have ET37 but had to trim the fenders to stop rubbing. My winter wheels are ET45 and have no rubbing what so ever.

If it's not broken or anything don't change it. My Vibratechnics dogbone was done for in about a year, the smaller rubber came out of the metal. Rattles as hell now so I changed back to stock.

Dammit Man, freaking awesome, both of them! 2018 you say .... i'll start saving now. You're a designer, i'm a mechanical engineer, maybe we could help each other :mrgreen:

The Nangkangs offer more grip than normal road tyres like the ones fitted standard. But only in the dry, when it's wet you'll be sliding everywhere with all three. I don't have any experience with the Nangkang myself but they appear to be ok. If it's your first time on track then they're a good...

There aren't many track tires available in 17" that fit the Twingo (195/40R17 or 205/40R17). I know of the Toyo R888(R) and Kumho V70A/V700, both in 205/40. But these are very expensive! €210+ per tire. There should be a Nangkang NS-2R in 205/40R17, much cheaper and I think your cheapest choice...

Standard internals can't take much boost. If you want substantial more power you'll need to go forged. Transmission is also not the strongest. I would go for a swap if you want reliable power.

The BC Racing coilovers will fit perfectly, but you'll have te replace all of the springs and dampers. The pillowball topmount in the front will replace the standard topmount.

Could a dirty throttle body? Maybe it get's stuck when fully opened.

Remove aircon, change pully for toothed pully, make a bracket, add some piping with dumpvalve and an intercooler. Maybe you can adapt a supercharger kit for a Clio 2 RS. You'll probably need a standalone ECU aswell. And then you will bend your conrods pretty soon due to the extra torque...
