Picked up this today, renaultsport Twingo 133 .
Discussion
, I think I found a little gem , got this today very clean renaultsport twingo, drives really tight , feels good . 59k miles , 1 owner . Not sure about the black wheels but love the paint colour , interior very clean also , this has been looked after . I have a few plans for it , first up a remap to iron out the flat spot in the middle of the Rev range . Loving it so far , slow but bloody good fun . Neil1323bolts said:
I don’t think it is a silverstone edition, I wasn’t even aware they did one in the twingo , I thought it was just the RS Clio. I guess they must be a bit rare I’ve not seen one . Did it not feel a bit underpowered for the track ? On the straights anyway?
They brought out a Silverstone of the Twingo at the same time as the Clio. I think it may be a slightly different silver to yours looking at it again. Yes it ideally needed more power especially for the straights (Clio 172 engine would have suited it better), it went round corners brilliantly though. But then I had just got out of a RS Megane 250 so that didn’t help matters.

That's a nice little thing. What's the engine specs? Yes, the wheels do look s
t in black.
1.6 , 131 ish bhp , apparently they don’t make the quoted bhp .K tec Racing Do a kit to take it to 163 bhp but it’s £2600 so quite a bit for 30 odd bhp . What colour wheels do you think would look good ? t in black. The colour is Mirage Grey. Silverstone's had a numberd plaque and a few of the options thrown at them to make them a special edition.
I have a 163 rally car that I am in the process of building and have owned it as a road car for 7 years.
Reliable good fun wee car.
Unlike the clio rs the Twingo usually actually make the power thay should. EFI are the people to go to regarding re maps.

, twingo meets much faster brother , had a good drive out in the renaultsport today , very entertaining, tyre pressures were massively wrong no suprise it feels much better now there sorted . Had a bit of fun with a fiesta st , well trying to keep up was fun ! No chance on the straight bits . I never thought 133 bhp could be so entertaining. As said definitely Mirage Grey which is a rare colour choice as at the time most seemed to be white, red or black.
They're the Cup wheels as they're the 17" rims rather than 16". I believe the springs indicate if it's got the Cup chassis or not but couldn't tell you the exact difference to spot. Although if it has one bench seat in the back rather than two separate ones it'll be a 133 Cup.
Either way, great choice and a good fun car. Seriously underrated.
