Hi Hal, That's ok! :) I am sure people would love to see your specs and progress here... With the exhaust did you went from 160 bhp to 175 bhp or was that 160 bhp already with the exhaust?

https://www.rallycrossworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/RW93OCTOBER.pdf Hal Ridge is a clubman driving a home brewed Clio in the Super 1600 class, so he has learned the hard way. It is too bad he asked for help on Clio Sport, but was not about to give any...

It has won the French Super 1600 Championship of 2011! Beating official build S1600's! https://www.rallycross.com/reports/11/11_frc/frc1111/frc1111.html

Really the rear lights? There could be due to a small overhang... Next time it rains, hit a puddle and when you are about to start aquaplaning you will probably hear the splashing too. That's ok, could be splashing for anywhere on the bottom or wheel arches, but the over 100 mp/h situation...

Yeah the rev limiter is changed to around 7.300 rpm and power was measured at 117,7 bhp @ 6.700 rpm @ the wheels... It will probably go faster than I have reached sunday, I probably have to find longer straight. Although I am worried that the cam belt change at the Renault dealer isn't done...

Other test: First is the gearbox. There are only five speeds, and no graphic to show you where reverse is, but these aren’t the problem. It is simply a nightmare of a ‘box. Graunchy and gnashy just working up or down through the ratios, with a useless feel which tells you nothing about which...

One test: 0 - 80 km/h / 5,8 s / 67 m 0 - 100 km/h / 8,3 s / 129 m 0 - 120 km/h / 11,1 / 216 m 0 - 140 km/h / 15,8 / 385 m 0 - 160 km/h / 24,7 / 652 m 0 - 180 km/h / 33,7 / 1.197 m

Have there been any acceleration tests from magazines? Yesterday I was trying out some top speed on a 2 km free road (before breaking area) and despite the decent rolling road tests the Twingo RS struggled to get past 190 km/h (on my TomTom V3) and 6.200/6.300 rpm. Basically it seems very decent...

A while ago it was very wet conditions and sometimes when I drove to a pool of water, the water spray caused noise. Not like the normal damped noise but a higher note, I thought it was a plate of metal causing the sound. But strangely enough I also hear some wind noise on dry conditions above...

I think the Cup wheels are better suited then pretty every aftermarket wheels... How things can change the last decades...

This upgrade would probably justify the amount of money better than the standard R2... Looks like half the specs of a S1600? But I do hope it still is VVT, to make it more suitable for road?

Yeah the previous owner certainly put some mileage on it in 2,5 years!

Accessories multi belt pulley already needs replacing, just after 90.000 km... Damn, just after spending money on mapping, carpets, oil, filters and a cup spoiler...

Cool (well actually hot) indeed!

Isn't that the whole point of bigger brakes (either with 4-pot or normal calipers)? Better heat dissipation? Isn't that also the reason todays sports- and super cars have massive brakes in comparison with 15 years ago? Without the need for pads that only work when warm of hot? Locking the wheels...

I wish the would make such great looking cars for the road as a special... Like GTI is 1.4 TSI and Polo R is like "new" 1.6 TSI with 215/220 bhp and flared arches...

It's about time Renault re-enters the scene...

Are you going to get your carbon from here: https://www.rs-carbon.hu/carbon-golf-3.html Ps. yes we all know I love 4 and 6 pots... Massive that is on that Golf! I like the way the calipers are round as the wheel...

I love tarmac rally cars! Here the Polo R, not the photo drawings, but more or less a real picture!

So Twingo RS AMG!
