Martin's Red GT

[Jjay]

My friend has Oz F1's on his Twingo, they suit it

any pics?


Scott, i went to all parts in Bonybridge, good for tyres/wheels and clio bits but no twingos yet!

Well as most of the GT's chassis is a mk2 Clio surely you could get bits an pieces? :-D

 

[Martin_172]

you could get a few bits, although the suspension setup physically fits its different spring and damping rates, brakes are the same, all the driveshafts/gearbox etc are different

Ahhh didn't know that one. Knew shafts and that but thought springs etc were same

 

[Martin_172]

na, twingo non rs or gt will likely be the same but we also have a 1.2 16v twingo and its got much more body roll than the gt which has suspension by renaultsport

 

[mrbushrat]

Thought I had seen the name elsewhere! Your on cliosport aswell

 

[Martin_172]

yep sure am buddy!

Coilovers due on Friday 22nd, so hopefully have them on this weekend unless there is a Delay at venoms side.

ordered a few stickers the other day...

 

[Martin_172]

venom cant get hold of fk's as fk cant get hold of the bodys for them. so ive got AP's on order, never tried them so hoping they are up to the job

 

[JE_GT]

Theyre bloody good

 

[Martin_172]

good to know buddy take it that's what your running?

 

[MovingShadow]

Yes he is

I'm running Weitec which is all similiar.. although there is a small difference.

Take an AP set and you can slam it to the ground, take a Weitec and can not lower it as much as an AP.

Someone I know had AP on his Audi A4, was slammed like hell. Someone else with the same car on Weitec can not go as low as the AP.

 

[JE_GT]

there's still over half the coilover thread left on mine and I can't really go any lower without making it undriveable.

 

[Martin_172]

I wont be going low anyway just a sensible height for optimal handling so probably -40mm or there abouts

any idea on how long it will take to come martin ? remap with over run next ?

 

[Martin_172]

They recon by the 1st of april so probably within 2 weeks anyway. Yeah next up is rs tuning remap with my new injectors and uprated fuel pump that should max the turbo out and see how i feel about it!

 

[JE_GT]

It's a bitch to fit apparently, have to remove the drive shaft etc.

 

[Jjay]

Driveshaft and subframe isn't it? The cat is too big to squeeze through the subframe

 

[Martin_172]

yeah apparently its a ****, I cant see the subframe having to come off though! we will see, ill do a guide

 

[Jjay]

yeah apparently its a c**t, I cant see the subframe having to come off though! we will see, ill do a guide

Do a guide with pics as I'm sure lots of people going to be interested

 

[JE_GT]

Not sure tbh, I can always ask K-Tec what they did to mine
