Just put a deposit down on a Wind, as they seem to be cracking value at the moment. I doubt I'm in the demographic that Renault was aiming at, but they didn't make this sort of car 30 years ago.

Another forum for me to read now. :oops:
 
Potential , the 1.2 tce is the winner. Another member has 140+ bhp & 150 + lbs out of his (taken a lot of work)

However the 1.6 is a cracker. I prefer NA's and the 1.6 really suits. Still waiting on someone with more than a few quid to see what they can get from one.

Stock 1.6 over 1.2 tce or even a fretted one,,,, for me anytime
 
My friend has the 1.2tce and the little so an so hangs off my tail until we hit bout 70, such a pleasant car to drive and quiet fun too :D

We use the twingo for driving ;) an the wind for relaxing when we get some sun!

Anyway welcome along and hope we can help in any way we can
 
Look what the wind brought in! Welcome! :D

1.2 TCe or 1.6 its all equally fun to drive :cool:

Btw, you're from Calais.. I've been there to take the Eurotunnel over to the UK with my car :mrgreen:

Yes, I've seen the TCEs with just a re-map can get to 1.6 power levels, but then it will start to get expensive to get more power.
I won't know what direction I'll be taking until I get a feel for the car. It's a long time since I had a Renault to modify (Clio 16V), so I also need to see who specialise in tuning in the UK.

Sorry, that's my humour. I'm 22 miles from Calais, and in one direction that makes me a resident of Dover. ;)

Well back when I needed a car the 1.6 wasn't available yet. Bad crap was going on in my life and I needed the car as fast as possible.
I also did alot of research and most car reviewing sites recommended the 1.2 due to the higher torque.

Either way, it's a ton of fun to drive especially with the roof down :cool:

Err not so much fun for me, as I suffer from Tinitus. :roll: I would have gone for a Twingo, if I could have got one for the same price.

I can see why others have said that you have a Wind. It seems that you are the main instigator of threads on the Wind section here. :)

Yea I'm kinda the underdog here so I'm kinda fortunate now that there's another Wind driver showing up :p

Tinnitus sounds awefull.. :shock:
 
lets hope the winds turn into gales once they start to be altered, movingshadows certianly getting a little quicker than wind now :)
