    Hi Everybody

    Sounds like a stinker - shame. Good luck in your search for 'The Minter'.

    Hi Everybody

    Hi, red callipers have sadly never been an option; the stickers appear aftermarket. Oddly its got anthracite wheels, which may suggest on a facelift that it is an RS with a non-cup chassis - my facelift RS with cup chassis came with gloss black wheels. I'd check with the dealer or look at the...

    ECU Removal

    ..so true! Pulling the gear knob off - a 50/50 chance of punching yourself in the face.

    Twingo 133 vs Clio 200 (the non turbo one)

    Yes , you're right, they are very different cars. I think a lot of it is to do with the sensation of speed. The Twingo with a cup chasss feels it's going so much faster than t actually is, being low down you feel every bump and you have to work the gearbox so perhaps it's more engaging. You can...

    Twingo 133 vs Clio 200 (the non turbo one)

    The only thing that has come close to the RS 133 that I've found is the 595 Abarth Competizione version - well specc'd and quick in a straight line 180bhp ...£24k new! But when I got back in the RS133 I realised how well the Cup Twingo handles; it's still so much better than the 595 Abarth...

    Twingo 133 Clock

    My first RS had buttons, my later model resets through a menu on the stereo function. If you have swapped out and don't have the headunit mmm... try the midnight tip above, or back to Renault?

    Replacement Gearknob

    Pulls off with some force - just don't punch yourself in the face pulling your knob off - so to speak. You'll see what I mean. I bought a Renaultsport BV5 - fitted fineThe newer BV5 came with the newer RS logo rather than Renaultsport wording - I tried to find one cheap on eBay - like those...

    swop a/c for climate control

    I assume from the title that you want climate control rather than a/c ? But the post says the other way around? It can de done, ....but! You'd need the control display, the 3x servos, the wiring loom and from memory the rain and temp sensors which all link in. Then take it to a dealer to do...

    133 and 133 cup. how much difference?

    Yes, that's right. FF two rear seats, headrests, tinted windows, ac, auto lights and wash wipe - nice stuff like that. Then you spec a Cup chassis. It's a firm ride, but not 'crashy' if that makes sense. Man hole covers hurt but the cup chassis is fine for day to day driving.

    133 and 133 cup. how much difference?

    Yes, totally different car, ridiculous good with a Cup Chassis. It is what makes the RS special. When my first RSCup needed to be replaced I test drove an Abarth 595 Competitizione and whilst that was stunningly quick, a great spec and an amazing sounding Monza exhaust it wasn't even close to...
