This, I was hoping for them to arrive by Christmas so I could give them as gifts. Need to be 4sale soon for that to happen.
>>16266268

Such a nice warm feeling. Hope I see it one day.
>>16266464
maybe one will see YOU one day.
for some reason it seems like twingos inspire people to travel far distances
>>16266495
TWINGOS GET FUCKED
>>16266756
no u
The ass was fat
twingo is a luxury car
What is a good price (in central Yurop) for one that might look rough but will be good for a couple years without major problems?
What problems should I look for?
>>16266499
hot
>>16268118
indeed it is
>>16269000
200€ will get you a good 1st gen one from Germany. 50€-150€ will get you a bit more rough looking one. 15K€ will get you a new Twingo GT.
the last twingo mk1 ever produced (2012, in colombia I think)
lol, it looks so nervous
I want to buy a Twingo. Meme machine.
I want to junk yard turbo it.
Custom manifold, exgaust, intake and intercooler.
What about injectors, fuel pump, air flow meter, ecu?
I dont want to open the block, i domt really want to spend much money. I just want to do this for a giggle.
What is thr bare minimum i need to do to get it running?
>>16270781
Well you'd have to get it tuned for one, and you'd probably need to upgrade the fuel system as well.
Also it depends on which engine you get, the old Cléon engine (pre-2000) or the newer D-series (the 16v version is still being used in turbo form today).
>>16270781
Turboing any car isn't cheap.
You can get a running Twingo from 0 to €300 and everything above is a decent one but to turbo it you will easily look at something like 1500 at least to get most parts and then you also have to know how to do all this.
You'd literally pay the cost for the whole car several times just to get it turbo'd.
Would be cheaper to find a scrapped 1.4t Renault and swap the engine into your Twingo.
>>16270984
Ok ill look into this 1.4t option.
What cars used the 1.4t?
>>16270837
Im aiming to get a 16,v
I wouldnt assume it was that expensive. I can get a small turbo for 100€, intercooler for 50, piping isnt that expensive.
Fuel pump is another 100. I have a friend who owns a metal shop so getting the manifold shape cut isnt a problem.
And as for a tune, maybe ill do that. Im hoping i could just run a but of boost, not too much that the stock MAF/MAP/AFM can keep up the job.
>>16271062
If you want to go 1.4T, get an older Twingo because the 1.4T is also a Cléon engine. It came in the Renault 5 Turbo and the 5 GT Turbo, and maybe a few others too.
I guess it's far more likely to find a 1.4 Turbo Renault 11 than finding a Renault 5 Turbo.
the 1.4turbo engine sounds fucking GLORIOUS.
hope I can find the video, one sec.
FUCK YEAH.
I love that sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_Ui2pULeos
>>16271219
I wonder if that engine has a different firing order than the usual inline 4.
It sounds quite different and more gnarly.
>>16271219
>>16271244
>>16270655
that's the dream right there. Old twingo qt design with modern features
>>16271219
son Im impress
Where the FUCK can I find a Twingo in the UK? All the second hand sites have 2005-2016 models and not the classic
>>16272638
The UK never got the first gen, so you'd have to import one from the mainland or South America.
>>16272647
Well god damn. How expensive would that be? I'm trying to find the shitbox with the best cheap/reliability ratio. Twingo seems to fit the bill, but if I have to pay a lot for it then a Corrola or Civic is more realistic
>>16272653
Don't know much about import/registration/shipping costs, but a decent one can be found for under a grand in mainland yurop.
You'll have to deal with LHD though, and you can probably find some Mazda/Ford/Toyota/Honda for less.
Die in a fire you homos, go shit up /b/ with your per-pubescent adorable car nonsense.
>>16266236
where can I get them?
>>16272686
>hurr im a MAN now I can't like non manly shit
Go back to your brodozer and fuck off
>>16272706
Just keep an eye on the threads.
>>16272638
I'd keep an eye on ebay.
I remember a year ago there was an UK auction of the car in this photo. fucking MINT as an used car can be. sub 30k km on the clock.
someone linked it in a twingo thread.
auction didn't get much traffic but one britbong anon wanted to snipe it but then he forgot about the auction and some random ebay person got it for fucking 1500 pounds.
I hope the plush dude shows up
>>16271155
renault 11 turbos are pretty rare too and are starting to be worth a pretty penny if they're in good condition
the volvo 1.7 turbo from the 480 is the exact same engine, except it has fuel injection. it's commonly swapped into renault 5's. and those cars can be had for very cheap because noone cares about those
also please dont hurt renault 11s, they're gud cars. picrel, my renault 11 and my twingers (i really need to take better pix)
>>16276699
Wouldn't a 1.7 throw off the wright distribution a ton?
Anyway here are some taiwanese twingos
>>16276776
>>16276779
>>16276776
it's the same block so it weighs the same as the 1.4
>>16276783
>>16276784
Oh interesting, didn't know that. Question is would you have to move the firewall back to get it to fit? Or put it in the rear?
>>16276788
>>16276794
>tfw will never get into the midnight club with a 800 HP one:1 power to weight twingo
>>16276699
>butchering already rare AS FUCK volvo 480 for shitty renault 11
holy shit, that makes me sad.
especially since you can get the 1.7 also from far more common 460/440
>>16276788
nope. it fits and bolts on to the stock twingo chassis mounts. you do need an engine block mount from the renault 5 GTT, but you'll find it for cheap and it bolts straight on.
another "simple" engine swap is the twingo 16V F7P engine. (or F7R from the williams if you're lucky enough to find one)
i'm told it turns the twingo into a pretty fast car although you will need to upgrade the brakes, and you will need balls of steel when you drive it as it's a bit front heavy and ridiculously overpowered
>>16276776
>>16276779
>>16276783
>>16276786
>>16276788
>>16276794
>>16276799
interesting how taiwan seems to be quite different sometimes compared to china. they seem a little more like japan
>>16276808
yes, forgot to mention the 440 and 460 have the same engine as well.
personally i like the 480, and wouldnt butcher one. but it is the cheapest way to get a good engine to swap in a renault where i live.
>>16276818
>where i live
Netherlands?
>>16276819
northern france
although i sometimes go buy cars in the netherlands as people there seem to not like money very much (last time we got a clean 205 CTI with a full Griffe leather interior for 600 euros)
i also enjoy going to the netherlands for leisure. so if you see the Jägertwingo there don't be surprised. was in Breda and Tilburg 2 weeks ago.
>>16276811
>bolts right on
neato, guess I'll look for people who've done it
how about the ECU? Since it's boosted wouldn't I need to reprogram the stock renault ECU? And I'm guessing upgrade the gearbox but at that point if the volvo engine fits the gearbox from it will as well.
>>16276927
>you can't swim
Will he ever learn
>>16276830
Dutchfag here, people here tend to have no idea what they've got which makes for a surprisingly good used car market.
Just a shame that everything else is fucking expensive.
>>16276811
>or F7R from the williams if you're lucky enough to find one
According to Wikipedia another source of the F7R engine is the 1st gen Megane. Should be easier to find than a Clio Williams.
>>16277296
How convenient. Just for this occasion I happen to have a photo of a Megane engine inside a Twingo!
>>16277320
The absolute madman also swapped in the Megane dash while he was at it
Look at me
I'm the Twingo nau.
>>16277432
as much as i like MK2 fiestas, NO.
>>16277525
can I be the Twingo then?
>>16277332
I'd love to see a build log of this.
Also have a classic:

What was the best production year of Twingos?
>>16278957
1993, since it's the first one I can own
holy fuck, a 1993 project car twingo with a 90hp megane engine already in it for €1100 haggle price
>>16279659
Doubt it's a 93, I don't think they made black ones that year. Just red, green, blue, and yellow.
>>16279669
>I don't think they made black ones that year.
See that one in the back in this late 1992 promo?
the fug is going on, another 1993 90hp swap Twingo but complete and in good condition this time

>>16279690
Wikipedia says different, and I found a brochure from 1994 with 7 colors including black. Probably a 1994 model registered in 1993 or something.
>>16279690
>>16279725
What's the appeal of this car?
>>16279731
>>16279725
interesting.
odd that there are supposedly so many 93 black twingos around then.
why would all of these be repainted?
I mean even when new a new repaint would have been like 1/4 of what the whole car was worth.
>>16279795
cute/silly (rare nowadays), reliable+durable when maintained normally, absolute BOTTOM of running and purchasing costs, best practicality of it's class
>>16279669
They did
>>16279713
Weird. Safrane hubs and brakes maybe?
Would it be cheaper to register your Twingo as pet?
>>16266229
>tfw already have 2 from the last batch
>>16276776
fuck bro i'm frenchfag living in taiwan, where the hell did you saw this ?
Sup ausfags, i have some twingo news for you
the National Museum of Canberra just acquired the AusTwingo. it's in france ATM and is getting shipped back to australia right now.
you'll be able to see it soon
>>16282610
>that twingo still exists
HOLY SHIT.
I didn't expect that. Looking forward to see new stuff from it.
>>16282968
yup.
pic related, when the guys from Generation Twingo went to see it this year
the original owner still daily drove it until he sold it to canberra. it has a shitload of KMs on it.
>>16283016
That's fucking awesome.
Also, nice HONkers on her.

does anyone know if the clear headlights have a better light output?
if yes, I might get some clear ones some time soon.
The new twingo = the best twingo
>>16286206
The twingo 2 is okay, the 3rd one not so much. It doesn't even share it's chassis with the clio but with the smart fortwo, and one of the strong point of the model -- a a lot of space for the size of the car -- made it's exit (especially when it comes to the trunk which is small as fuck now).
>>16282252
I'm in the twingo taiwan facebook group, I got all the pics from there

The two peugeots look scary in that shot.
>>16286855
taiwan confirmed for best china
>>16286206
absolutely not.
and it's not even the new twingo that you posted. the new one is kinda cool because RWD and rear engine but that's all. the first twingo will always be the best one
>>16266229
They're on the ship from China to Europe right now. No idea when they will arrive exactly, but it'll be soon. Don't get too hyped for Christmas, might be a week or so too late for that after all. Shipping on ship takes a while.

Hey guise. Anon with the aqua green Twongi which was posted recently on /osg/'s Instagram here.
I've just found out an interesting fact about mine and I'd like to share it with you. As I was looking at Twingo pics both here and local Twingo websites, I've discovered that there are at least four other Twingos with the same licence plate as mine (34 meaning it is registered in Ä°stanbul, the rest is random letters and numbers) I knew that the possibility of it being just a coincidence in an overly crowded city like Ä°stanbul is very slim, so I dug deeper.
Yesterday, I found out that around 1999-2000 (which is the MY of mine) a TV show gave away Twingos as the grand prize.
So long story short, the original owner of mine acquired it as a prize from a TV show almost certainly.
Dunno why but it made me love it even more.
>>16291152
Also, notice the TRDM tyte paper clip headrest spacers yo.
>>16288565
>literally "What's his (your, in this case) fucking problem?" with a Twingo in an educational book
oh wow. when memes converge...
>>16291152
lol, that's awesome.
also, I find 34-plate Twingos quite often online.
It also seems that there's a Twingo club over there.
here's a 35
and 34 again
>>16291152
>>16291797
>>16291818
>>16292018
Well, a lot of cars have 34 plates as one-third of the country lives in Ä°stanbul. What I tried to say is there are at least four other 34 YK **** Twingos meaning their first registration date is the same as mine. Pic related is one of my Twingo's siblings.
>>16291812
And 35 is the plate for Ä°zmir, which is the city I'm currently living in. You can see the Ä°zmir Twingo City (local Twingo club) sticker on the top right of back window.

>>16296195
Well it is pretty much the perfect car to try stuff out on. Cheap, simple and if you don't like how the mod turned out you can just order a new stock part for like 10 bucks

Get a eurostar ticket and you can buy them practically on the first garage you see. In fact, go to places that have a lot of migrant Polish/Turk communities like the East Midlands/South Yorkshire as they often sell theirs for the Eastern European dream when they arrive... MID 2000s VW PASSAT ESTATE
