Tuning a Toyota Aygo

[Sa Calobra]

Of course there was the PH'ers Supercharged Aygo from a few years ago; how easy is a supercharger to fit i.e does it need the block etc adapting.


Can you tune these to breath better without going through the 2k+ spend of a supercharger?

Surely if it’s a PCP, you can’t do any modifications?

I didn't go the PCP route in the end. Partly because the handback figure suddenly dropped at the dealers so I walked.

Petrol etc is only going to become more expensive.

To why? I'm a massive fan of kei cars.

I drove the Aygo over 1400miles last week taking in Paris, Ardennes, Bruges etc.

Why? Because I can. smile

Including fitting?

AT Power do an Individual Throttle body kit for the Aygo, I guess the most you would get without changing cams would probably be 90 bhp but I bet it would sound pretty good.
I have got a Bilstein B12 prokit waiting to go on my Aygo for even more fun in the corners.

This sounds interesting.

It sounds ridiculous but I'd say my current c1 already has too much power for the chassis to handle, with such roly poly suspension and skinny tyres it would need serious chassis and tyre upgrades to handle any more power.

It doesn't.

A prime example of that would be the Peugeot 308 1.2T's that we have at work. The chassis and suspension are terrible. The engine is peppier than the suspension can handle.

What's NVH?

Honestly? It's mpg, nippiness, dimensions balance out against lack of torque.

I fitted in airbeds, four man tent, blankets, covers and cushions along with enough for three people for three weeks.

Sleeping bags stow under the front seats. Air mats/air beds behind front seat etc etc.

It does feel more raw than other cars but that's it's charm and it sits happily on flat or undulating smooth continental motorways. If I had more time I'd have gone down to Italy.
