The Twingo is based
...on the Clio1 which had a really great chassis and hence you can make a Twingo handle really well with only a few mods

Preparing for the new run, going to clean up the design at the rear mirrors a little (to make them more sturdy) and (unfortunately) remove branding for being on the safe side of the law. Multiple colors as promised, too.
>>14930674
really nice but weren't the pink ones supposed to be cherry red? just wondering
>>14930698
They were, but people liked the pink so that's gonna be a color option too.
>>14930698
Yes, cherry red will be the fifth option.

>>14923556
What the shit?
No It's not.
Totally different designs. Nothing in common apart from the engine (the only one of clio's engines that fitted in twingo). 1st gen clio had torsion bars in rear suspension and used rectangular front subframe while twingo uses torsion beam on springs in the rear and one-part front suspension crossmember. Different floorpans. Twingo shares more interior details with megane and kangoo than with clio.

TwingoBro tried another company to see if he could get the Twingos made a lil better quality wise, and he got this back. Too funny. I think he's sticking with the original manufacturer.
>>14956127
Yes, that's the case. Even in China, the saying "you get what you pay for" is always true. I'll try to get them to do the stuffing a little more homogeneous and the seams a bit more straight.
>>14950503
that's the spirit. Keep in in 3rd gear till 75kmh, 4th till 130-140 an it gooooes. Shitload of noise of course. Noice noise.
>>14950854
Not really. You're basically losing your "torks" by doing these, which means worse accceleration since the ovarall drivetrain ratio is uppered. (had a shitbox with oversize wheels myself). Not sure if you'll get any gain in top speed since you really just can't redline (>5500rpm) twingo on 5th.

The original ones were fantasticly made and still at a great price. I don't think you should worry about getting them made cheaper, especially when
>>14955997
and
>>14956002
is what you get.
>>14956824
Yep, that's what I'm doing now as well, plus some of them won't travel via Switzerland, but go to the US directly.
>>14956803
Pretty fucking dank to be honest. A lot of legroom both in front and in the back.
>>14956824
+1. I was suprised at the quality of the original ones as well, especially at that price. There were a couple that needed to be fluffed up a lil by hand to get the perfect shape, but I think anon got a lot of detail for the money and is being too picky about the stiching and stuff.
I wish anon would keep the Twingo logos on them though. As long as he's not making a bunch of profit on them, it shouldn't be an issue. But I guess better to be safe, especially if Notori tries to keep them in stock on the online store.
>>14956762
>comfy?
as hell
>How is handling
mainly as almost every fwd=light understeer, can oversteer on (wet/bad rear tyres)+empty back. If you're getting close to the edge of grip, it'll let you know. No surprises.
>body roll
not much
>can I have fun?
-Rev it high and make some noise
-use tiny wheelbase and length to salmon through traffic,
-cut corners
-use cuteness to embarass insecure cucks who shift to 5th at 50km/h

That wouldn't happen here unless I went to a specific cross-country Twingo meet of br/o/s that import a Twingo, if anyone else is seriously going to. :( I've only seen 4 Renaults here ever and they were all owned by my uncle. 2 R10s, an R4 he imported, and a Fuego that he swapped to put in the turbodiesel motor that it wasn't available with here.

Yeah, pretty much. An open roof one would be better of course.
The sunroofs are god tier on the Twingos. I almost forgot that.
Seriously, it's better than mercedes sunroofs not even memeing. They're massive and people in the back seat benefit greatly from it.
>>14958194
they're favourite aftermarket roofs for any car. Hot stuff at any scrapyard.

A guy with Twingo wrote that he got tired or replacing air filters so he just put this thing in and it works like a charm. I don't even know how it's called in English...
>modding flimsy as fuck decades old shitboxes to almost 100% roof coverage sunroofs
>mfw
I know that they put some effort into making the Twingo stiff as necessary to pull this off (for crash safety and to keep the car from suddenly collapsing at 90mph) but I have my doubts when it comes to those home garage shitbox mods.
>>14958395
Real engineering talk: if the roof doesn't have any protruding cross reinforcements it can't carry shit for weight anyway and depends entirely on the struts and corners to carry itself. Cutting a hole in does basically nothing to lessen the integrity.
>>14958385
>it works like a charm
usually it just makes the engine louder.
I've yet to see measurable performance improvements.
also if his old filters got filthy quickly and those cones stay clean, I'd be worried.
maybe they're shit and he actually keeps sucking in dirt and burning it in his engine.
>>14958412
good to know
>>14958395
It has a solid frame
also there are 3 or 4 transverse steel bars between canvas layers
It's actually a structural improvement over wobly sheet of tin.
>>14958426
He wasn't talking about performance (although it gave him whopping +2 hp), only about replacing filters every year and how you only need to wash that cone with water every 10000 km instead.
>>14958508
ooops
that reminds me
I didn't replace my air filter for 4 years now (20kkm) in my twongers.

Between the first generation and the facelifted 1998+ version, which twingo is best? I much prefer the 1st gen interior because it's much simpler and appears more minimalistic.
Is there any real difference between the two?
>>14963749
The 2000+ facelift introduced standard airbags, as well as some structural improvements and a new engine so I'd say that's the one to go for.
Also banana dials.
How does the supercinq compare to the twingo? I think it looks much better but not sure about anything else really.
Also, the cinq is much cheaper because depreciation, but is it any good?
>>14963749
If you like pre facelifts, go for phase 3 (gray dials) 1997-1998 it has newer, much better engine (d7f) while keeping classic look.
>>14963756
These two tests were conducted in different conditions. Earlier twingo hits solid wall while newer hits deformable barrier. There were safety improvements like side airbags and some strenghtening of doors of course but not that colossal as it looks at the pictures. Tldr: this pic is a meme.
>>14963842
I'm aware the pic isn't a completely accurate representation of the difference, but the facelift still improved crash safety.
And again, banana dials.

I really want a Twingo as a first car now. Even if it's not all that popular in my country.
>>14966161
Same
I'm French, so they're dime a dozen here. Good thing is: they're cheap: full options, top trim mint condition late models will go for 3 to 5k depending on mileage
Bad thing is, they're totally uncool to the unaware.
But I don't care. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, happy looks, reliable and reportedly fun in twisties: I've made my choice.
it's always the same.
once something gets really scarce, it becomes cool.
good thing for those who get to hoard some twingos before they're all gone and fuck those faggots who laugh about them now and crave them in a few years. I hope those will never score one.

/o/ invaded /int/ during the riots to ask if the Twingos were ok so we could import them to 'murrica in 3 years

I sometimes post Twingos elsewhere, there was even a Polish /int/ Thread: Twingo Edition after I posted mine
