Completely demolished a Twingo, had in parts for 1.5 years. and get it running again. and still no smile on John Crewes face. :,D the man is nothing if not consistent. ;)
I got the exact same Twingo 1.2 extreme (D7F800 8v) and your videos been helping me along with the bits on mine haha, gutted it and got buckets and shit like that haha, I even took the rear crash bar out and cut the bumper to save a bit extra weight. Desperately want to put the 1.2 turbo D4F engine in it though that 8v NA sounds the part with a bigger cam but can’t handle boost to turbo it alone so the swap to a GT engine would be way better!
Self clearancing perhaps 😅 Also I hate doing brake stuff, the fluid itself is a sensory nightmare and I'm always concerned about accidentally leaving some on paint
ON my Twingo when i changed the clutch, the biting point was non existent - felt like the clutch cable was snagged/bent or something. I hooked my foot around the clutch pedal and yanked it toward me - heard/felt a click - must have adjusted something somewhere as its been absolutely fine ever since.
Not yet, it was 900kg +- 20kg with the old engine and roll cage, but with the front passenger seat. I imagine its probably equalled itself out with things removed and added so probably around the same. Aiming for 8xx kg
10/10 for perseverance!
So awesome! I am so happy for you you made it this far!
Twingo twin go! wee congrats :)

Has been known to happen on the cable clutch Renaults, this one is hydraulic now though.
Do you know the new weight of the car now?
