Twingo Mingo the F4RT powered Twingo GT

Nice collection of goodies. Really want a zpo for my Clio. Terry is great to deal with, bought my ndo 020 box from him and he delivered it. šŸ‘Œ
 
Good work but bald claim, id go with 4th most powerful Twingo maybe... (fastest seems to cover such a wide spread of things and is dependant on discipline) there are a few out there @3rsautos as far as im aware takes top spot as its still road legal with 322bhp, then me at 302, there lewi with 270ish and yourself with 252bhp. There's a few beanie sport meg swaps out there also but im unsure of their outputs.

So after all that driving, whats next for the car?
 
Ohhhh ouch, don't forget the 10% deficit I have with shite fuel, Charlie's isn't road legal is it? And poor lewy is the quickest from lift to lift ...... Sorry lew
 
pmsl thats like me saying I could make 20% more power running e85 so im the fastest šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Yeah Charlies is fully road legal still. Lewi is out on the road but fixing all the faults he has as they come up (though yeah he has lots lol) Im sure theres at least another 2 F4rt Twingos out there.

I can't remember what I did last here, my bad. So had a few days driving it and came to the conclusion that it's not viable as a daily with the 5 speed, I weighed it as well, I was not impressed. 1320 in full road trim spare wheel etc etc, so I've decided on fuck it track spec,
I've fitted the 300mm discs (which are 8kg a piece) meg 275 calipers, I was going to use 225 but these came up instead. Clio 172 hubs and a pms stud conversion.

I originally was using a set of 17" captur wheels as they were free. But they came in at 20.5 kg the original 15s being 16.2kg. I found a set of konig heliums for reasonable money and went with them weighing in at 14kg.
I started to do "free" weight reduction first, fitted some bits left over from previous builds

The 680 is a great lightweight battery but keep it isolated when not in use.

Also need a AGM capable charger just in case you didnt know :)
 
We use Antigravity batteries now. Weigh about 1.5kgs. Not cheap though.
When my car was being serviced by the lotus specialist I use he threw one at me. Nearly shat myself but couldnt believe the weight. The heavy bit was the price! Ā£1000 !

Think the ones we use are around the Ā£3/350 mark nice easy way to loose 6kgs though.

We were using the powerlite ones but they have over charging issues.
