How she looked when I first got her...







So let the modding commence...

First up, I noticed at some point the calipers had been sprayed silver but the paint had worn away, so out came a spare can of vauxhall star silver Haven't got any pictures of that.
Then on seeing the GT RenaultSport badges on the Megane GT, decided that one of those would look good on the bootlid.



With the twingo letter stickers on the back it looked a bit too much in my opinion so debadging began.



And the finished article...



Apologies for the shit pictures, all taken in my garage given the weather

Plans are as follows: -

Replacement panel air filter, probably going to go for the BMC one as they seem to get good reviews from other twingo gt owners.

Stainless steel exhaust system

Remap

Possibly look at uprating the suspension

Progress however is probably going to be slow at for the time being

About all I've done is add a GT renaultsport badge since owning it
Yesterday I ordered an RS tuner box, should improve things to 110-115bhp hopefully, adding a set of 182 injectors could see 130bhp.

Okay the RS 133 looks stunning but I don't see the point in paying for one when the same if not better power can be got from a few cheap mods. It's only 1 second slower to 60 as standard
I hear he is good and one of the lads on twingo 133 forums has got 118hp out of his standard gt with the RS tuner. Should be good!

With a few more mods and discussion with Henk it'll probably push a little more

I know the RS133's look stunning especially in Red

they are stunning, I like the blue ones as well.
Well I may invest in some 182 injectors but that will probably be about it. Too much of a money pot when I don't want to keep it more than another year

182 injectors, FMIC and a remap at RS Tuning and you'll be looking at around 130bhp

no idea tbh, there's a guy on twingooc who had the fmic, 182 injectors etc on his. Apparently the standard injectors are useless for much more than 130 and that's pushing it. If you add an uprated clutch as well you can see 150bhp

Used 182 injectors are about £40-50, FMIC not sure, most people use a Universal one off ebay, RS tuning remap is about £250-300 iirc, may as well look into cat-back exhaust - £300~, You'll be looking at about 135~

This guys running 135.7 bhp, not sure what he's done
