[QUOTE="KAD1, post: 177068, member: 4279"] Yes, got a Renault Wind Gordini 1.2 (No 33) in black. A few things I would like to improve are: 1) Its got a flat spot between 1500 and 2000... might get a remap to fix that and up the power a bit. 2) Road noise is quite loud, might think about some soundproofing maybe different front tyres. ............any ideas on these issues?? ........... already fitted parking sensors, essential really! Ride is quite hard but having ran a fair few (proper) Minis I can live with that. Funny looking cars aren't they :D Top down is a bit buffety on my left ear, but a wooly hat fixed that................bit of a reflection from the dash too, so a square of black cloth on it sorts that. Got a dashcam fitted just to the left of the rear view mirror. .....not the most economical car for 1149cc.... maybe the remap will nudge that up slightly? Its nice having an unusual car.... other drivers dont know what the hell it is. Good handling on the twisties, seats are nice but feel a bit short on the base and the seating position takes a bit of getting used to. Just velcroed a bike bottle rack to the rear bulkhead as well as the ashtray pot thing that didnt fit in the doors. Overall though, quite like it and I would miss it now if I didnt have it...... and yes anyone who makes a joke of the name and thinks I have not heard it before must be stupid..... debadged mine anyway ;) [/QUOTE]
