    GT dyno day!

    As I've had the twingo for just a bit over 4 years, and curiosity really, I decided to have a go on a rolling road. The car is standard as far as I know. Its still on its original exhaust, all filters / service parts are Renault's oem and the spark plugs are the proper NGK ILKAR7A7. Running...

    Vin Number brainfart.

    Out of curiosity. I seen this on pistonheads. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=1539016&r=31983010&hm=279412&mid=279412#31983010 Like I said on there, my vin starts VF but shouldn't it start ZX-Z2. Or are renault saying all there cars are french, even if there not made in...

    Authentique (Mainland cars)

    While on Holiday in Italy, I noticed twingo's over there look a bit different to ours. I've worked out there 'authentique' models. I've seen twingos with the different bumpers before. But I didn't know Renault where so mean on the spec. A 1.2 8v engine making 60 bhp, No power steering, wind up...

    Gt Brakes (Everyday set up)

    I need some new brakes soon, I know there is a thread on here already but its more about performance set up. My car is most likely not going to go on a track day. I do go on a hoon around the country roads at the weekends, but during the rest of the week it just drives around town. I've been...

    Why is my mpg so bad.

    I've had the car for over 2 years now. It's been checked at a good few garages, no one could ever find a problem, it gets a full service every year, runs on shell V power. Passes it MOT with flying colours. Yet its mpg has been crap since I've got it...

    Oil seems to be blowing pass the oil cap.

    Very slowly mind. Its done this for a least a year. When I first noticed it I got a new cap from Renault (like I said about a year ago). The little bath around the cap fills up with oil, this is after 2 months, a 1000 miles or so.

    Twingo part suppliers

    While browsing the net (weirdly I found this while looking up project cars), a cutaway of the twingo listing the suppliers who make the parts of the car. Possibly useful, but its nice to know who make what. https://www.autonews.com/article/20071029/CUTAWAY01/71027014 So, how French or...

    SuperChips Bluefin, has anyone used one before?

    I'm temped to get one of these, it seems handy to have the ability to take the remap on and off at will. Plus I can keep to unit and download remaps for future cars I might get. https://www.superchips.co.uk/search?make=29&fueltype=3&model=451&variant=2819 But I've seen people on here go on...

    What is this for?

    I'm replacing the old door card because the old one was damaged when I got the car, behind it there is a connector. It doesn't look like a speaker connector (6 pins, 12 wires, not 2 pins and 2 wires). And it's not connected to anything. (The pictures is how I found it).

    Rear speakers wiring.

    When I got my twingo (just over a year an half ago) it was in fairly good nick, but the rear panel trim on the passenger side had two deep cuts / scratches in the panel. Now I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and stuff like scratches in panels annoys me, a few weeks ago I cracked. And so after going...

    Silver 133 in Worcester park

    Tyre wear on inside edge.

    Right, The car was serviced yesterday and it's been noticed that the inside edge of the passenger side front wheel is wearing down quite fast (the tyres are about a year and a half / 6k or 7k miles old). The rest of tyres the wearing normally,say 5 mm groove depth across the tyre, while this...

    Black GT or Dynamique

    ...I'm not sure as I don't go far enough down the road (I see it in the distance, before I turn up the road I work at). But I see a black twingo parked up every morning in Chessington industrial estate.

    Mean while at the twingo factory...

    ....you know, if your wondering what there doing if your waiting for a part. :D g53TAJkAVIU Its a tourist ad for the city of Novo Mesto, where the twingo is made (Revoz - the factory makes caravans and campers too). It looks a nice place to be honest.

    Millers Nanodrive and other stuff.

    Has anybody tried it? I'm temped to give it a go (Instead of the usual Elf Evolution 900 SXR) Also, looking to do the cam belt within the next few months (water pump as well). Should I just bite the bullet and buy Renault parts? I just remember back when I had my 106, I saw gates kits for...

    Taller drivers question

    ...And to honest I wouldn't count myself that tall at 6ft. Can you fold / tip your rear seat down? Where I have my seat in my driving position, I can't actually tip the rear seat over as it gets stuck on the drivers seat. As there is no room for it to tip into. MS paint diagram time! So...

    Handy Website (servicing guides).

    https://teon.co/cars/renault-twingo-petrol-1-dot-2-tce/manuals/51b71df9a1146032750001c7 It just covers basic servicing, but it could be handy if you want to have a go and service your own car. Plenty of good pictures and well explained too.

    sh*t day

    Well, the company I work for aren't doing very well and I've been told I'm being made redundant. I popped into the co-op near me this afternoon for 5 minutes and when I was in there someone keyed the back of the twingo... :cry:
