So where are we up too, everything is on and fitted. I still have a few jobs to wrap up like filling the gearbox and test driving the car but so far it all looks as if it will work. I accidentally ended up with a big brake upgrade in the process. The RS133 shares the brake callipers with the Laguna, it doesn't share the carriers which I also bought. The RS133 has 280mm discs the same as the 172 and the Laguna has a few options (280,300 & 305 I think) I did a little digging and found an old post regarding it on cliosport.net saying you can use the Scenic 300mm discs with this setup. So that's what I did
Whilst under the car I fitted everything else I had that was RS133 specific. The arb which is always a dick to do job. I slapped in the steering rack after being sent some videos of the throw on the wheel (GT vs RS133) though after fitting it I cant tell the difference tbh. I could of probably gotten away with just fitting the arms off it to the current steering rack. One of the ball joints was knackered on the Aluminium arms to so I ordered a new one and the tool to fit it...... What a dick of a job that was! ended up down a mates garage and even after heat and welding we had to drill and cut the old one to get it out! wont be doing that again in a hurry.
I wanted to keep using my current coilovers for now, 1, I like them for road use and 2, it was cheaper to keep them rather than replace them with RS specific items. The hub mounting on them has a slotted lower hole so seems to fit both the 58mm spacing of the GT hub and the 60mm of the RS, though the slots are made for 12mm bolts. The RS133 has 14mm. As I am using RS hubs I sleeved them down to 12mm, something that used to be done regularly when hub swapping old Nissan 200sx's. Next thing I had to do was add a tab for the drop link to the coilover body. No biggy, just bent and curved some spare metal and welded it to the body slowly as to not put too much heat into them.
Next issue after fitting it all was the wheels, I tried fitting the OZ F1s up to the front and they didn't clear the brakes (this was when I originally realised id fudged up the brakes a little) I was already on the hunt for some different offset wheels but
@Jezer101 leant me his old 16x7 et45 Team Dynamics 1.2s
they went on and cleared everything nicely. After a little pestering he agreed to sell them to me so that's now sorted. I need some tires all round and a bit of a tidy up but the car now rolls.
I've also received a replica Cup spoiler, I think its really changes the shape of the car, the whole thing looks pretty aggressive when mixed with the bigger wheels. I gave it a quick lash with some satin black to see how it looked but will give it a better prep and paint over the next week before final fitting. Once I have spanner checked everything ill try and get a little test drive video together.
So in conclusion I've now created a completely Frankenstein/Heinz 57 Twingo GT. GT Shell, RS133 suspension components, Laguna brakes, Modus gearbox and a Megane r26/Laguna GT205 engine. The rear beam is original (matches the 172) and so is the paint and interior panels though it also has RS133 seats....
Thanks for reading
I'll get the tape measure out 
we will see, ill get out and abuse it a little.
