    Italian Rs 133 phase 2

    I noticed that the engine run better over 4000 rpm, just a little; I like very much the intake sound too. It grows with the revs and no longer sounds like a vacuum cleaner :?

    Italian Rs 133 phase 2

    Today I had the time to do another little upgrade: Samco Intake Kit (resonator delete) :mrgreen: I have waited this kit for about 5 weeks from my dealer... :roll: I started from this: I had to remove the front wheel to take the resonator off: Samco hoses and the OEM ones: The...

    Italian Rs 133 phase 2

    Thank you Dave, not a great difference really because I haven't yet take part in a track day, I'm sure that after some laps on track, the difference between stock parts and these can be remarkable. At the moment, I can tell you that the brake pedal is firm and the feeling never changes after...

    Italian Rs 133 phase 2

    I did a cheap but effective upgrade. I change the brakes line with Hel components and changed the fluid with Motul RBF660. I also decided to paint the caliper, I chose silver colour for an OEM look. Here some pictures: The rear hoses fitted: Before: After:

    133 Brake pad options

    Where did you find yellowstuff? I find only greenstuff on-line. I tested DS2500 and yellowstuff on my Mini and the Ferodo were much better but also more expensive. I'm surprised you say that they cost the same.

    Brake upgrade advice for track days!

    I agree with you. 4 pot calipers are a great upgrade but a bit expensive. I think Twingo stops very good with OEM brakes. Hoses (Goodrige or Hel), a good fluid (Motul RBF600/660) and DS2500 pads would give him a great improvement especially in endurance.

    I own a rs 133 i want to lower it i need some ideas how low

    I can't believe you will be able to notice the difference between 25 or 30 mm. If you're looking for an ugrade of your frame, you should choose H&R or Grams springs or better Bilstein and BC coilovers; instead if you would a very low car, you could buy some cheap coilover kit like AP and install...

    Italian Rs 133 phase 2

    Unfortunately my OEM wheels needed a refurbishing and the tyres were worn, so I looked for something different. After a while, I found these 16" OZ superleggera with old winter tyres for only 250 euros and I collected them! I really love these wheels, I had them fitted on my old Mini R53...

    Italian Rs 133 phase 2

    Hello to all, I live in a small town near Milan, and 1th April I bought a Twingo RS. In Italy there are very few TRS so I found mine in Genoa, about two hundred kilometers away. The car is in great conditions, fully stock and with 25000 km on the clock. I'd like to do some minor improvements...

    Air conditioned problem

    In every car with the recirculation on, the glasses fog up. For the smell, you can try this:
