What kind of empeegees do these get? And how are they for long trips/highway driving? I love the look and light weight but I want to visit polan and other places nearby so I want to get something that will take me the distance.
Also do these things have tachometers? I only see a digital speedo in pictures.

no tacho from stock but you can easily add one (or just have one on your phone with a cheap OBD2 bluetooth adapter)

empegees are great. i've never seen more than 6.2 liters per 100km and that's with a fully loaded car with 2 people and a freaking bike on the back. usually get 5.2/5.5L/100km, even on 80% E85 which is pretty amazing DESU.

they're very good for long trips. i went to norway with mine and all kinds of other places. did 1300km in one day no problem (france -> north denmark). twice. it cruises all day at 130kph on the highway just fine.

today i went to an auction. some old collector died and all his pre-war cars were being sold by his children. amongst all the old, old french cars (oldest one was from 1899) was a 1995 twingo. it was the old guy's daily driver since new. clearly a man of taste. as you can imagine i was pretty pumped about this, as i thought i could get it for cheap since people there weren't really interested in twingos. it was an early one (pic related, the actual car) with the metallic purple. but what made me want it is that it had 64k km from new, still smelled like new inside even though it didn't look like much from outside, and it had A/C, electric mirrors AND electric windows !

so i registered as a bidder in the auction, but unfortunately it got sold for 1400 euros + 21% tax which means it would have cost me at least 1800 euros. to which i needed to add a new battery, and registration costs, which made it not worth it. too bad. i wouldn't have minded cleaning it and making it look like new, driving around with A/C this summer and selling it on to someone from /o/ or the twingo forums. oh well

you're in luck then, cause i've owned both.

i absolutely loved my MK2 golfs. i've owned a diesel 1.6 turbo MK2 golf and a gas MK2 jetta 1.8. both were extremely reliable, and very easy and cheap to fix. they handle great too. the 1.8 golf 2 drinks about 8 liters per 100km though, and won't take E85 because carbs. the diesel drinks about 5 liters of diesel per 100KM, but it's pretty slow. (unless you get a good one, i've driven some that didn't feel as agricultural and slow as others for some reason)

the twingo is easier to park and handles more like a little karting. MK2s are more planted and they're actually fast in corners if you invest in semi-cheap coilovers and good 195 tires. you can fit large tires on MK2s easily, but not on twingos.

both choices are good. i would get the twingo if you have cheap E85 available to you, preferably the 16V version. costs 15 euros to fill the tank, best feeling ever. if you don't intend on running E85, then both cars are great choices. be aware that it won't be as easy to find an MK2 in good condition though because of their age. most will have perished rubber parts like CV joints, door seals and engine mounts, and also rust. you can get a very clean low mileage twingo for 1500 euros, but finding a clean MK2 for that... well, they're getting very rare.

Dutchfag here, poster of >>15418049.
They're basically the ultimate poorfag car, as they're dirt cheap in every way. Since cars are a very expensive thing here (lol 100k for a veeate Mustang) people tend to go for the tiny city hatchbacks like the Twingo.

>>15418150
Its like a parking lot of happiness

>>15418092
Thanks again! I live in Budapest so diesel is a little bit cheaper but fuel is overall pretty expensive, so if I had to choose just one top priority it would be gas milage because I'm a poorfag college kid. A golf might be easier to wrench cause its older which is what attracted me to it (other than the look) but I'll have time later in life for modifying cars, right now I just need something small with good gas milage and manual transmission and the twingo fits the bill perfectly. Last question that I really should have asked earlier but twingos have abs right? Or at least the later ones in first gen?

>>15419494

the later ones have ABS. if you want fuel economy you should avoid the one with the early Cleon engine. just make sure the twingo you're looking at has a third brake light on the hatch, that's how you know it's the modern D7F 8V or D4F 16V engine

>>15421237

today i'm going to go buy some wheels, will post pic of them on the car later on if all goes well (you never know with my local craigslist, guy says the tires are good but until i have them in front of me...)

i'm still debating whether or not to put the dekra and jägermeister stickers on, because the car sleeps on the street in a shitty area and i don't want it to be fucked with

my friends will have gopros and will be able to lend me one. don't expect under 10 minutes BTG though lol, the twingo is SLOW

>>15421314
I count on you!

For the stickers, do as you like, I can see what you mean by shitty area (Bonjour Arras!). I had some teens try to steal wheels from a Twingo on my street. Worst part is that they failed twice the same night before getting arrested...

And since Clarkson and S. Shmidtz barely made it under 10 minutes in a diesel Jag and a van, i don't expect you to beat the record for a FWD production car. But i assume you can do it under 13 minutes. I think you should be around 11 minutes.

(It seems that people can do around 8 minutes with a 2nd gen Twingo RS.)

And the goal is not the time, it is HONing around the Burgerking

i don't live in Arras, but i live pretty close. Arras is extremely nice compared to where i live.

the thing that kills lap times is the huuuge uphill slope on the ring, where you're flat out for like 2 minutes straight. underpowered cars lose SOOO much time there. it's not as bad on the rest of the track as long as you try to keep some momentum.

i got the wheels, the stickers are on it too. it looks bretty gud and now handles way better. today was a good day. pic related

for the burgerking you could take out the rear seats, spare tire, maybe even passenger seat, some carpets etc.

an open intake could help, too

>>15423784

i don't really want to do this as the OG engine is perfectly healthy, cheap to run and the car is my daily driver. however i'd really like to get an early 1993 twingo and go all out with a volvo/renault 1.4 turbo swap. with the exterior kept unassuming this would be the best sleeper ever. and could be done for semi-cheap. after trying an MK2 clio RS and knowing that they can be had for peanuts in the UK i'd also be interested in swapping one of those engines into a twingo as i think it's feasible. but first i need room to store/work on cars, the situation ATM isn't great and i hope i get a shop or at least a big garage soon. so many cars i want to buy but i live in a city center... and don't have a garage ATM except my friend's garage where i store my opel manta. sometimes i wish i was passionate about knitting or MTG cards or model trains or something instead of cars

I'm not sure where but I think somewhere close to Sweden. I'll be working with my dad doing minor construction work. The minimum wage is literally 10 times higher than in Poland so in 3 weeks I'll make the same if not more as I'd make working here for 2 months. I'm not driving my Beemer there, we're taking dad's A3. I was in Denmark once (pic also related) and it was pretty nice. I was even thinking of studying there but the Shitskin Flooding 2015 is a bit of turnoff. Plus, gas is insanely expensive and I'd rather die before buying a diesel. I'll be in Sweden briefly - we're ferrying to Sweden and driving to Denmark from there. Can't wait. I'm too poor to even afford a full tank of gas at the moment. And just when I got a new head unit which improved the car audio so much I couldn't believe.

also i regret not buying your twingo seeing as it's now an /o/ icon. i got turned off by the rust but in hindsight it wasn't that bad for the price

What was the site where you can browse cheap German Twingos? I might let me convince by crossing the borders to buy one..

you just need the COC (certificate of conformity) from Renault. costs about 150 euros. with the new euro laws, you don't even need a CT (controle technique), if your TÜV is 6 months old or less, i think.

but honestly, i wouldn't go to germany for a twingo. there are plenty of twingos here in france, you just have to search leboncoin.fr every day and have cash ready in case there's a good one

so much work when you can get one with that roof for literally an apple and an egg.

also, I doubt this is a good idea, integrity-wise.

at least for a certain part the roof is also important for the structural integrity of a car (especially in case of a crash) and I doubt they just cut out a whole in the factory.

I think there are at least some strengthening measures on the roof twingos.

>>15428344
I remember hearing the sunroof is actually sturdier than the plain roof.

they were designed to keep their shit together with a hole in a roof from the very beginning. It's not an aftermarked idea.

>>15428344

they literally cut a hole into regular twingos at the factory. the sunroof/open air mod is a common mod, takes like 2 hours to do. i've done it on an MK2 golf in an afternoon.

also yes, it's stronger than the regular steel roof. integrity isn't compromised as the car is made to get those sunroofs installed, the roof is basically thin sheet steel, there's no central reinforcement bar like on regular cars

i might do a sunroof mod if i can find a glass roof for cheap, otherwise i won't bother. i don't want the ragtop as it can easily be cut into by undesirables. also road noise

>>15428777
The Panorama glass roof is goat, I wish my Initiale had it.

If they want to get into your chariot, they'd break a window with a stone anyway.
or use a can opener on your tin roof (probably easier than cutting through canvas)

It ALWAYS blows my fucking mind how much miles people put on their Twingos.

Even outside of the internet I've seen dozens with +300k on the odo.
For some reason I've not seen that many Polos with that mileage. Sure, lots of +150k and +200k but not that many mile freaks like Twingos.

Pic is Hallingdalen in Norway right? I live in Bergen and drive through there multiple times a year to visit Family up North. Memories of when I was a lil' shithead stopping at that exact spot and eating lunch. Fuck man. Everyone deserves a great father and a great car to take you places and give you memories Worth remembering and cherishing. Love your twingo and I'd buy one as well but there is only one here in Norway and it is like 2000€ and the interior is shit.

i bought my twingo fully expecting it to be shit and a simple throwaway daily driver i wouldn't care about when people inevitably backed into it while parking their car on my street. but after owning it and driving 10s of thousands of k's i'm really starting to like it and even spend money on it. it's easy to park and fits into places where normal cars wouln't which is EXTREMELY useful on my street, costs literally nothing to own and run, it's actually comfortable on long drives and it's practical as shit. the seats recline in 1 second with 1 hand and then you can fit so much shit in the back, i actually use it to haul shit around instead of my beater 307 SW

10/10 would buy again (and in fact i almost did buy another one this week...)

Yeah they are really rare and I am not sure why. I think it might have something to do with Norwegians being really sceptic about non-german/swedish cars. You would need something with good grip at winter and alot of loading capacity and possibly diesel.

I recently vacated in france and my god. Every other car was a twingo. Do they really love them that much? They were like the Ford T was back in the day almost.

it depends on where you live, if you live in a rich area you'll be seeing less twingos, but in big towns or poorer areas MK1 twingos are still everywhere. they're the modern day 2CV basically. cheap to buy, run and repair. while still sitting 4 comfortably and easy to park. and cute

the rear of the car was absolutely full of food, clothes and all that stuff so reclining the seats every day would have been a pain. a tent with a big mattress is comfier too.

>>15456176
The very first ones were made near the end of 1992, but I don't think there's any of those left.
In 1993 they sold a lot more, so basically 2 more years and a lot of luck as people tend to use them as disposable shitboxes.

>>15456485
Cant you fake the year?
its not like they would ever find out would they?

>>15456602
You'd have to VIN swap, but if they found out they'd seize and crush it.

A Twingo rental in AYYmerica would be a pretty radical idea.
you could also sell them at the same place if people get to like them cars.

>>15456614
to be quite honest, even when there a lots of people who hate them I think they will reach almost beetle like hype some time in the future.

they're just so awkward, unique in a lot of design ways, cute but still immensely practical that they definitely reach classic level. also, like the beetle, they were transportation for a lot of students who will probably want one to relive their past again like so many boomers did with beetles.
that little shit has pretty much every qualification.

whoever tries to do a biz like you mentioned will probably make bank BUT he has to have the perfect fucking timing or it will fail (either no one interested or too many already with similar plans and buying the shit out of them with only rustheaps left)

Twingos are so compact that you could almost have them in parts in your attic if you don't have a garage to store it.
Definitely worth to grab a good one as long as there are still some nice examples around.

It's way trickier to store away a full size sedan if you don't have lots of space.

twingos will definately be very sought after cars in the future (in fact, it's already starting. people who have clean early twingos hang onto them because they're already very rare in good condition). everyone has a story that involves a twingo, or owned one at some point in their life. that's the recipe for a valuable classic car.

thx. "twingo shitposting in real life" made me laugh and i've been using that phrase IRL several times today. my friends are not amused with my antics, especially those that didn't manage to beat my time with their 200+hp cars

the twingo made it home. it did 3 laps in total including one where i went all-out and did a 11:15 even though i got a yellow flag after the mini-karrussel so lost a bunch of time...

i really wanted to go for a 4th lap without a passenger to get a better time (i wanted to see 10.XX) but i think i was pushing my luck as this is a 60hp city car and i still had 450km to get home afterwards. also, this is my daily driver and only working car ATM. so i chickened out and ended up watching cars at pflanzgarten for the rest of the day.

i doubt it. it probably has 196.722km. those errors are common on mobile.de. the highest mileage twingos i know of are around 600 to 700k.

>>15458217
That's much more likely. Still though, it's pretty funny to see ads with 300k, 320k, 350k and then suddenly BOOM, 2 million.

>>15458201
what >>15458217 said.

lots of people do this kind of typo for some reason. also, it really looks like a 200k car and not more.

even though I have to admit 1M km twingo isn't that far off because I've seen at least a dozen of >400k km twingos in real life so far.

seriously, twingos love to piss off other cars

>>15458352

the beemers were pissed cause they all had problems after 2 hours of autobahn insanity + 1 lap of the ring on saturday.

- E36: gearbox whine (not gud at all)
- E39: noise when clutch is fully depressed
- E32: blew a coolant hose (we cut it and put it back since lolnoparts available at the ring)
- Twingo: nothing. 100% reliable. didn't lose a drop of oil or coolant. no weird noises.

this is why you should buy a twingo instead of a BMW

you're the yellow fiat panda guy right ?

missing 2 cylinders sounds like an ignition problem. (simple cheap fix) unless it's piston rings or valves in which case you'd be fucked

if you'd come i had 3 mechanics available to diagnose and bushfix your problems. but i understand not wanting to drive hundreds of km's with a broken car ofc. maybe i'll see you next year (unless we do an /o/ meet at the Nür this year which would be pretty cool too and i'd definately be coming/organizing)

So did someone else a while back, which resulted in this gem.

>>15458520

oh yeah and maybe it's a head gasket too. i'm not a mechanic but i'm usually able to diagnose a problem. ofc it's easier to do when you're in front of the car rather than on the internet lol

yee it's a Punto but yes, yellow Fiat
my guess is that it will be an ECU failure, because that's a known issue on this generation of Punto
makes them run on only two cylinders
>mfw mechanic said that changing ignition coil, injectors and ECU together would be about 1.2k Europes

>>15459362

yeah, meant punto obviously. yesterday was a long day

yeah i had a look and apparently it's a common problem. it's the ECU. the coil should be fine.

look here http://www.italian-cars-club.com/italian-cars-club-forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22236

the people are saying you can fix it yourself by just buying a new ebay ECU and just replacing it and initializing it using the correct procedure which is explained (letting it idle a while so it warms up and then making it rev above 5000rpm quickly 3 times and shutting it off)

ECUs are available cheap in the UK:

should be an easy DIY fix

dunno why your mechanic suggested changing the injectors too ?

>>15458852
I saw the whole thing. Pity about the 3rd gear, but that must have been fun! Lots of MINIs too, what's up with people and shit taste? Badass Evo as well.

The car is terribly slow, though. Exasperating.

>>15458418

I've been following ALL Nordschleife highlight videos the past days and I've only seen you in one so far.

>>15460293

yeah that EVO made a godly sound, nicely driven too

the twingo really needs a big engine, it could be so fast with a 150hp engine... brakes are very good though, i got no brake fade at all

>>15460673

lol yeah looks like the one you posted is the only one with twingo content

i can't wait to go back to the ring. it can get addicting. and expensive, cause laps are now 29 euros a pop... but i found a camping plae that charges 10 euros a head for a night instead of the 30 that camping am nurburgring costs, so it evens out

>>15460176
oh fuck nigga, didn't think you'd actually look it up n stuff
thanks my man, will look later into it
I hope that shit will work out

nah I am a shit explainer
they said it either be ECU, coil or injection
so I asked what if everything has to get changed - they said around 1200 bucks

they should totally release a model named "derpa"

>>15462608
Kinda mindblowing how there's a realistic possibility that you COULD exchange 10 of those toy cars for a rusty but drivable Twingo

>>15462608

definately buying this lel

Will try, depends how the money is gonna be. Do they perform any kind of inspections prior to letting you drive? Micra's not exactly gonna be stock, especially the emissions, what with the bike carbs and decat.

> Do they perform any kind of inspections prior to letting you drive?

stock cars are rarer than modified cars on the touristenfahrten. the guys at the entrance will just glance at your car quickly and may stop you if they spot something dangerous (under inflated tire, external cameras, leaks...)

there were some cars driving on the touristenfahrten with full race cages + harnesses + race fire suppression system, turbo modded cars, engine and AWD swaps... so no problem there
