Another good session on parts-bin raiding Adey mate... but won't make it go any faster 



Depends on the definition of faster, in a straight line no I doubt it, on a track day I expect this to handle and stop better all roundAnother good session on parts-bin raiding Adey mate... but won't make it go any faster![]()
you'll defo need a longer box then!I know mate, im about to fit a surge pot, adjustable rate fuel reg & another pump... trying to get 26.9999 more bhp. Then I'll stop... for now![]()
Its fun when its expected, this just tried to put me head on into a van when driving normallyBut of course... wouldn't be fun if it didn't
the rear is 2mm narrower than the 15s though you cant tell. The rears also have bigger 205/45 tires fitted. Ill be fitting some 195's and then adding a touch of negative camber. The fronts look tucked right in but I think ive got about -3 degrees of camber there currentlyLooks wiiiide now
Whats next on the list? 250 turbo? 6 speed box? Engine in the boot for a real "Twingo"?Another "make it look better" post, I replaced the B/Door pillar outer trims that had gone crusty. Well one had been replaced already but I removed all of it and fitted some new carbon look ones. TBH I think id rather pull the engine and box than have the job of removing the factory stuff again. What bollox that was. Any way got it all off and cleaned after about and hour and a half, then fitted the ebay supplied ones that seem nice and thick and good quality. Time will tell.

6 speed box should cope with the power.. time to start doing conversions for peeps at 3k a pop! Soon have a nice forged twiglet then!Not sure yet, I'd like to make use and enjoy the power I have before shooting for more. So new tyres and some better than oem brake pads, possibly pms topmounts and strut brace plus a harness and maybe a bucket seat. Then maybe the rs250 turbo sometime next yearI will be pushing things then though (rods pistons clutch and gearbox)
indeed it would, requires chassis and subframe mods from what I can see and then custom driveshafts. Might as well forge it all whilst its all out. Boom another 3k gone lol6 speed box should cope with the power.. time to start doing conversions for peeps at 3k a pop! Soon have a nice forged twiglet then!
