Gordini 133 No. 004

[Mike_Robo]

Traded in my Gordini 100 last week for a 133, so thought it was only right to put up a thread.

Reading threads on here about the differences between a GT and a RS, i didnt expect a massive change apart from the handling, but boy was I wrong

The Handling
The handling is so much better, when im pushing it, the car just sticks, where as in the 100, I was slowing down in the fear of rolling. i also found the steering is much more responsive, giving far more feedback than the electric feel of the 100.

The Speed
After reading Neil's post about following a 100 into town and having to try to keep up, i didnt expect to notice a great improvement in acceleration; but the extra 33bhp is definetly showing, took it out for its first good thrashing today and was surprised how fast it was, im officially addicted on seeing that green light!

So yeah overall, im very impressed, if anyone is thinking of upgrading from a GT to a 133 I would highly recommend it, imagine driving a go kart with a roof!

Planned Mods
Silvertec Indicators
Clio Interior light (with LEDs)
LED Sidelights
HIDs or Replacement bulbs (bluevisions etc) haven't decided yet.

Hey Guys,

Time for a little update.

I bought a set of pressed plates at FCS, so thought it was about time I fitted them. The only problem I had was getting the original plates off, due to the Anti-theft Security Screws holding them on.

after various attempts with different screwdrivers, allon keys etc, I decided to take Karl's approach and drill them out!
Here they are fitted, they definetly look a load better than the original plates.

After talking to Matt & Karl about our club stickers, we had these made.

It is a slightly darker blue but doesnt look out of place, I think it suits Dini rather well

Last night I finally fitted Neil's old BMC CDA Induction Kit and Daaammnnn it sounds nice! a lot more louder and grunty once it hits 3-4000 revs, but I have also noticed Dini pulls better at higher revs now. (thats in comparison to the standard Airbox with a Standard Filter)

The last mod of the night was fitting the LEDs from Carbonfanatics, I had the original set of LEDs from partsulike in my GT, but these are soooo much better.

I'll try get some better pics of the LEDs soon.

Also I've just ordered some Phillips Nightbreakers, which hopefully should arrive today.
I'm thinking a new exhaust and Remap next, but thats all for now.

i got philips nightbreakers and they are good.

cracking motor as well

 

[Mike_Robo]

Yeah, i actually got the idea from one of your posts haha! And cheers mate

 

[Dubz]

The car's looking great

 

[jra3d]

Still looking good!!! Just need the RS Spoiler now!

 

[Mike_Robo]

Thanks guys, yeah certainly will be getting a cup spoiler soon, but debating whether to get an exhaust first haha
