25mm Eibach Pro Spring Kits take these are lowering springs

[big jim]

25mm Eibach Pro Spring Kits take these are lowering springs


i'd say so, thats what i've got on mine anyway

any price on the exhaust yet btw, it looks sweet, gonna have to be had

also the 10mm spacers you have on the wheels, are they specific to the twingo i.e 4 x 100 pcd with the correct centre bore for the hub? i've fitted some universal 5mm ones on the front of mine and there is slight wheel wobble at speed, nothing drastic but i'd rather get something specific if i can, i have 10mm on the rears and they are fine

[betty02]

OMG!!! SWeeet i can;t wait for all this so excited...*goes to find bank card*

KTR Stainless Cat Back Exhaust System


Is the tailpipe any different to the original? Size wise i mean obviously.



KTR Twingo GT Remap (+20BHP!)


Does the 20bhp+ include the exhaust and air filter or is that 20bhp coming just from the remap?

Cheers

Cheers


i think the 20bhp is from the remap only, otherwise it would probably be marketed as a kit if it had the exhaust and filter but i may be wrong

looking at the picture on the site the tail pipe differs from the normal one, looks a bit wider and more oval

[K-Tec Racing]

Hi All,

At present we are getting 20BHP from just the remap, a full R/Road session is booked for the very near future, we will then provide graphs etc to shoe the power and torque curve. I assure you having driven our car from new and post remap, there is a world of difference!

Re Eibachs etc, they are all lowering springs although we are testing some Coil Over Suspension units soon, I will keep you posted.

On another note, I am just about to launch our loyaly club, name undecided as yet but either way, it is worth you guys signing up for our newsletter. As a change from our format I will be offering DISCOUNT CODES to enter into the site on specific Twingo GT products! Oh yes! Remember this will be instead of your already agreed 5% Discount on any orders form our site, please note your information will be checked so remember to enter the correct user name in the Club / Discounts box.

More info soon, for those on the news letter subscription list.

Sean.

[Dobster]

Thats great news, been waiting to do some changes since buying the car.

One question i have is about the KTR lowering spring kits. How hard do they make the ride? The GT is just right as it is but has to much roll. I use the car for long journeys and don't want to lower it and find that the ride is rock solid and spoils the way the car feels. Any info on this would be appreciated :)

[betty02]

That sounds great that Sean, just problem with having my GT on finance will they be able to tell if my car has had a remap? OIf so any legit excuses i can use lol?

Don't mind to much about exhaust there easy to take on and off in all fairness!

Really want a set of springs aswell but will be buggered if i get them :(

[prabmire]

I like the look of that exhaust works out to around 260 quid with discount but then fitting on top of that!, i may get an mij exhaust 265 all in

Prab

[voodoo61]

would the GT springs fit my dynamique?? i can swap them back originals when i come 2 trade in can't i, saves me sittin so high haha only problem exterior

[K-Tec Racing]

Aghhh trust all this to come up when i have £500 to fork out for the vandleism done to my car :(

About the braided lines, had some on my VTR but i never fitted them, are they straight forward or do brakes need to be drained, then lines changed and then brake fluid back in?

Any other news on panel filter? Give the car better airflow and abit of a roar? Induction kit? Race pads?

And do you remap using a 'Genius' from Evolution Chips?

Niceee will be upgrading mroe then likely, any news on anything else? and a few pics of videos of the exhaust? pcis underneath atc?

Plus any noticable diffrence in performance or sound?

[Graham]

K-Tec,

Any news on the dump valve and re-map?! Still can't order any through your webby?!

Regards, Graham

Edit: post made no sense!!!

[Twingo Geekeo]

Ordered the panel filter now ;D

[Flying Frog]

me too ;D ;D ;D

[Flying Frog]

Just received the filter today. That was ultra quick. Just need to see what is the performance now. Just ad my car serviced as well so that should help as well. will let you posted.

If anybody know of a rolling road around the northeast so I could tell you exactly the difference in power as it is the only engine mod that I have done up to now.

:) :) :)

[Flying Frog]

ok, after a few miles, the car seems to be slightly more responsive and i don't seem to hear the turbo so much. also before you could feel the boost of that extra temporary power boost thing. now it still gives you the power but more across the rev range.

All that is just feeling though. no proper proof. but he it is a "feel good" factor that maybe just maybe your twingo is that tinny bit more powerfull that the other one :P

Hmmm not sure weather to buy one or just finish fitting and fiding the pipes for ma BMC CDA, are you putting it on a rolling road at all?

[Twingo Geekeo]

i fitted my filter tosay and it seems to have better throttle responce but havent had the chance to open it up yet but try soon

[betty02]

Sounds good, might get it not sure want figures first tbh, i know wont see much increase from a filter mind!

[Twingo Geekeo]

induction kit aka k + n 57i kits are crap there just there for noise if you are going to go for performace you get a panel filter fair enuff it doesnt do loads but there still better then a 57i kit

[betty02]

Yeah i wasnt inpressed with K&N's price tag either hence buying me carbon enclosed BMC CDA, which i will finish off one day get it on the rolin road, and then see how it bares against a panel filter, if panel filters is better will invest!

[Twingo Geekeo]

fair play

[betty02]

With the twingo being a new-ish car still, and not much out there were still to find what works best etc so going to be a long while before things are easy to refer to new members, just a case of trial and eroor 9at a cost) i guess!

Ive actually taken my k+n off now as i found the noise was getting on my nerves, i contacted them about a panel filter and i need to get the part number off the standard unit to see if they have a replacement element that could be used off the shelf

I must admit i THOUGHT the k+n didnt make that much difference to the car until i put the standard airbox back on, then i realised how much more free revving it was with the induction kit!

If k+n dont have a suitable element i may try a k-tech one

Thats just it when i put my filter back on it didnt feal the same speed, i don't know weather that was because of my mind or weatehr it was actually quicker with it on or not, let us know how you get on with K&N, if not might just buy th k-tec one!

[Twingo Geekeo]

just took wingo for a blasy and seems to be faster and not so revy in gears

[betty02]

Lol @ not so revvy in gears, haha meaning :D

Any noise diffrence? how much faster

[Twingo Geekeo]

means it doesnt rev up so quick but still goes seems a bit faster and na just here the turbo like you normaly can

[betty02]

I'm with you now, still in 2 minds though

[Twingo Geekeo]

wicked man best of luck on what you deside if we meet upon a meet you can always take the car for a spin to see how you feel

[Flying Frog]

had one of my friend driving my twingo and she confirm that it feel it is got that extra kick about it. So the k-tec filter must be doing something.
I haven't pushed it fuly yet but will try this week end on my way to Northampton.

[Twingo Geekeo]

i pushed it some last nite and she was flyin as i raced some one and killed him and my m8 said it quicker now

[gt jonesy]

i pushed it some last nite and she was flyin as i raced some one and killed him and my m8 said it quicker now

what was you racing matey ???

[Flying Frog]

[quote=rf08zpp ]

[/quote/]

now after the remaps, it is even faster and lot more responsive. The power sit between 4000 and 5500rpm : there you can feel the diference and the quick when you want to play it sporty !!! On a day to day the mpg hasn't drop that much and the car feel like it has a bigger engine so you don't change gear so much and you don't have to rev the engine neither so much unless you are on sporty mode ;D ;D ;D

cant see a de-cat adding so much bhp to a standard 206, mind lol

[Twingo Geekeo]

Thats what i fought thats y i raced him he had a induction kit so proberly lost power with that lol

[shifty_GT]

to run 110 from a pug youd be looking to having to propably run a new manifold, decent induction kit, new inlet etc etc etc etc.

with a decat it probs running about 85 tops.

youll **** it either way :D lol

got my remap coming up soon. bc tuning rumoured to gain 25-30 BHP. ill report the results! lol

[Ninja]

Were do we get these decats that add 60 bhp :D :D :D

proberly limited edition lol

[prabmire]

Having been tuning cars since i was 17, decats add **** all at most i've seen on dyno has been around 15hp and that was a high performance bruiser, remaps realistically sometimes wont give you 30hp, maybe they will give you up to 20 percent increase on a standard engine so for a GT you'd be looking at 120hp, but who knows my experience may mean im wrong, i look forward to viewing dyno results for this modified pug!, they have 90hp as standard the 1.4 16vs, and they are gash!

Prab

[Graham]

K-Tec have said that their GT is running close to 130bhp (dyno runs/tests later).

They have re-map, full exhaust and panel filter on theirs. By simple maths, this means the exhaust and filter on their car is producing 10bhp approx!?!

I know f.a on performance/engines as i do more 'cosmetic' mods!

True same with most induction kits all they do is shift the power band about!

[Twingo Geekeo]

or induction kits loss power ask a few people from megane sport one of them sent there car to a induction kit maker and it came back with 10bhp loss

They do make a nice sound though wwaaarrrrbbbbb :D Has anyone thought to drill the airbox (If its possible) not the most sensible of ideas but should give a decent powergain

[Twingo Geekeo]

Yea they sound nice had one on my clio but wouldnt buy another one im happy with my panel filter. and yea think they cocked up making it as it lost power. wouldnt bother drilling the airbox more then likly renault will tell you where to shove your warrenty lol

[Twingo Geekeo]

springs now on k tec site

[GT08]

I have ordered the KTR panel filter, does any one else have one?

yea i think it spreads the gears out and yes it will void warrenty

chessingtons not far from my house lol and supose you can always make the next one

[GT08]

I am about an hour away from chessington depending on traffic and how brave I am!!

Will make sure I will make next meet anywhere in Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey area

[GT08]

The springs are not a massive drop, would have thought they would do 30mm front and rear

[Twingo Geekeo]

The springs are not a massive drop, would have thought they would do 30mm front and rear


i kno i rang them up before i oreder the ones ive got and they told me they was 30mm and £125 happy i didnt go ahead with it happy i bought the apex ones now

[GT08]

Think I need to get a bit of a drop on mine, yours is noticeable.

Will be interesting to see pics of the meet where your car is next to standard twingo for comparison

[Twingo Geekeo]

we shall see what we can do

[Graham]

I may actually go for those K-Tec springs, i'm after a drop, but a only a smidge!! Where i got 16"s the alloys sit pretty well in the arches already!!

Anyone know if i put 15mm spacers on the front and 25mm on the rear, will this still be ok for a 20mm drop and avoid tyre scrapeage!?!

[GT08]

what are spacers?

im not sure because your wheel will sit further out then normal gt wheels anyway because you have 205/40 tyres and normal gts are 185/55 if i remember correctly im getting 10mm all round on mine

[Twingo Geekeo]

what are spacers?


puts ya wheels closer to the edge of the arch goes in between the hub and the wheel

Anything under 50 will look the nuts, just gotta pat for it!!

I have seen some alloys on rochford tyres with 45 profiles

sorry for the hijack by the way

Read my post regarding warranty, it's in Twingo Related Chat!

http://www.twingooc.com/index.php/topic,701.0.html

Fitted their panel filter, does make a difference!! Much smoother acceleration and feels a tad more lively in the upper revs! Next thing is springs, then re-map!!

[GT08]

I think I need to chillax a little!!

1. Panel filter
2. Exhaust
3. Dump valve
4. Springs

[Graham]

Just phoned up K-Tec re dump valves...Should be in this week (fingers crossed)!!

Re-maps still under development!!

[Twingo Geekeo]

think there updating as things have changed on there site theres only 4 things in the twingo section now the exhuat wrap brake lines and that have gone

[Graham]

Just ahd a reply from K-Tec Racing, read below...

"Hello,

Yes the Eibachs will fit without any problems as we have just fitted a set to our car.

The Apex springs are not the correct fitment for the current Twingo model which is why the OC member would have had problems.

Dump valve kits have just arrived in today.

Sounds good on them dump valve kits hope they dont go off as easy as the others and dont see the power loss's!!

The springs K-Tec do are 25mm aint they?

Yep mine should be here next Mon/Tues, got the red kit!! Will let you all know re venting, as i drive 6 miles to and from work on national speed limit roads!!

Well sort of, 25mm for the front and 15mm for the back!! Be ordering them soon too ;D ;D

[betty02]

i want to drop mroe then that tbh! think i might order the yellow kit or black un-sure lol! what make is the actual dump valve then do we know? and i want pics of the kit email them back :D

Imo this drop would look spot on with the 16"s!!

Emailed David for further details and pics ;) :D

[big jim]

mine's dropped about 30-35mm running on 16s and its barely noticable so i recon 15-25 mm drop would look barely different to the standard set up

what happened to the 60mm drop k-tech had on their demo car?

Err, K-Tec's has a 20mm front and 15mm rear!?!

This is their car with the springs, reading the post i yoinked it from these wheels mustbe 17"s then...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/betty02/DSCF1367.jpg

[big jim]

i definatly remember someone mentioning upto 60mm drop, may have actually been k-tech themselves, i find it hard to believe that the car in the picture has just a 15-20 mm drop, i do know it has wheel spacers on it though, could possibly have slightly higher profile tyres than mine had too

i mean compare theirs on 17s with a 15mm drop to mine on those god awful wolfrace 17's with a supposed 30mm drop

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/s-type-driver/19052008826.jpg

[Twingo Geekeo]

k tecs has 10mm wheels spacers all round

the piccie of mine with the wolfrace fitted has no spacers on it but i have them fitted now though with the 16's and it makes a world of difference, i've posted a couple of pics in the "eibach springs" thread

[Twingo Geekeo]

fair play did you get the side skirt for it in the end

[big jim]

no, not got any more bits for it for ages, took most stuff off as i got a bit bored with the car, i was seriously thinking of getting shut but i recon i'll keep it now and get some more bits for it in the new year like the rest of the body kit and maybe a bit of i.c.e

might put the mod bits back on as well, i don't use it much anymore, as i bought a £300 toyota corolla to go to work in (which has done just short of 5000 miles in 3 months!)

k-tech's exhaust is also high up there on the bits to buy list

Deffo, this with their re-map should be fun!! Keep meaning to nag them and to send my a video/audio clip of their GT's exhaust, but cba!!

[betty02]

Ive asked them for a video they dont have one lol they said your welconme to go down and see it and hear it for yourselves though so someone local might want to get a video :P

[Twingo Geekeo]

think that will be graham think hes closest

[betty02]

Sounds good, just i think thats what putting people of not being able to hear it, but im doing my 182 style exhaust anyways!

[Graham]

Ok cool, cheers Betty!! Yea, i'm only 30mins away, 45mins tops!! Will try and get down there this Saturday if they are open and will report back!!

[betty02]

Noice one matey like i say doesnt fuss me but will other members obviously!

[flv1333]

Really the only thing keeping me from purchasing the exhaust is that there is no Audio/Vidoe clip of it...

Most digital cameras can take video with sound so they really only need to film like a 1.5-2 minute clip, upload it to Youtube and link it to the page... that's like a 15 minute job if that.... lazy lazy... lol

Mini Dump Valve update...

All the parts for the kit are now in stock, as previously said!

They are now putting the kits together and will start sending them out tonight or tomorrow!!

[Graham]

Pics going to be on their webby in the next few days!! But as always, will whore up some pics as soon as it arrives ;D ;D

Bit sketchy on the manufacturer side, just said it's the one that was made for us (K-Tec)!?!

[Twingo Geekeo]

k tec alwasy say that tho

[flv1333]

I got a lil tired of waiting and I shot an email to k-tec in regards to the sound of the exhaust.... I am really interested in buying but if can't hear it I just won't buy it... they are really shooting themselves in the foot here.... >:( >:( >:(

[GT08]

I phoned K-Tec today who said they sent me an air filter but as I have not received it they are sending out another free of charge first class post.

Just shows you are better off picking up the dog and bone rather than this email malarky!!

[Graham]

Yea, if you want a reponse from them best to phone them!! As Karl said, they can take upto 3 days with email!!

Glad it all got sorted though, you going for their zaust now :P :D

[Twingo Geekeo]

sam bet you cant wait now can ya just remember if 2 turn up you can always flog it on here im sure some1 will buy it lol

[betty02]

Someone get some bloody video clips of this exhaust please haha! think k-Tec are shooting themselves in the foot notmaking one tbh!

Exhaust after christmas!! Unless they take credit cards!!

[betty02]

Pretty sure they do take credit cards matey!

[GT08]

Yeah I was kidding, after christmas it is!!

[Twingo Geekeo]

im waiting till after christmas to get one but not 100% sure yet might wait to here grahams

[GT08]

K-TEC I hope you are reading this, GET A SOUND CLIP ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THE TWINGO EXHAUST.

It has just dawned on me, maybe they dont have a clip because it sounds rubbish??

[big jim]

it should sound good being as it was built and developed by janspeed!

janspeed were going to have my car as the development car for their own system but k-tech used them instead so janspeed shelved their plans to build an exhaust (for now)

the long and short is you will be getting a janspeed exhaust under a different name

[Graham]

Ooohhhhhhhh thanks Jim!!

Bit weird that K-Tec don't actually say who manufacturer their parts!! Do you know who makes their dump valve!?!

[big jim]

no, cant help with the dump valve.

i've known about the exhaust being made by janspeed for months but i've not said anything about it as its not my business but i was getting as bit fed up reading some of the negative comments in this thread before anyone has seen or heard it first hand

I have seen the pics on the website but if we could actually hear it there would be more accurate comments/predictions of what it will be like.

If they put up a sound clip, sales are guaranteed to go up considering how many people have suggested it

[Twingo Geekeo]

k tec have pics of the dump valves up now

[betty02]

Looks very big and clumpy mind, and looks pretty much the same as the dump valve ive had, want to hear it on grahams first so i know it doesnt dumb willy nilly

[Twingo Geekeo]

pictures can make thinks look big cause the back ground i wanna here grahams to

[flv1333]

By the looks of it I still belive you will get the powerloss due to the blanking plug... Only one way of knowing for sure though, we need someone to be a guineyeiey pig (not quite sure on the spelling :-\).

[K-Tec Racing]

Not sure what you mean the car will lose power by having a hole blanked off. The hole in the air filter inlet hose is there so the OE valve can dump the air back into the inlet hose to keep the noise down. Not having that air dumped back in before the turbo will not effect power in any way. We als tested the valve on our car on the dyno and we did not have any air leak issues either.

David.

[flv1333]

Well I along with other members of the forum have had powerloss issues due to the BOV. I then changed to a splitter design and the power loss was cured. So i though it had to do with the recirculated air that (I belive; has already been metered).... but just a though... I could be wrong.

Anyway since you do keep tabs on this forum/thread. When can we expect to hear the exhaust note of the Twingo exhaust? ;D I'm itching to hear it so I can decide on my purchase!

The valve on the standard car is just a very basic Bosch item so it could well have been a problem with the valve being used. We ran out car on the dyno with just our dump valve and exhaust and it did 109bhp.

As for the exhaust, I hope to have a sound clip very soon and we will let you guys know once it is available. ;)

David.

[flv1333]

That's good news thanks!

[betty02]

Great news on the sound clip matey and on the dumpvalve as-well dont suppose you got any increases of just the exhaust and the dump valve nothing else?

And do you supply the exhaust but without the backbox lol? so just the centre section?

[Graham]

Ola fellow members,

I can confirm that the dump valve looks the same as in the pictures ::) :P :D

Only thing you don't get is the small 'K-Tec' vinyl!!

The silicone yubing is made by SFS, same compnay thats making the induction/turbo tubing!!

Just fitted their dump valve to my car, looks really smart!! Noise wise, will get some vids up tonight, but there is NO VENTING!!! Woo!! Plus, the 'whooossssh' noise is only heard under HARD and i mean HARD acceleration!! It's not constantly going off every time you change gear!! Plus when it does go off, it's only a short 'puff' not like the long 'whooooosssssh' you hear on the scoobies/evo's!!!

Done!! See 'Interior & Exterior' Styling!! Mmm, don't think so, power still seems to be the same!!

[betty02]

just checked it before could really here it tbh, need to get the bonnet uop rev the car and get a mate ti film it lol

[flv1333]

Yeah I couldn't hear it either! (well maybe a lil :P) but really, what's the point of a BOV if you can't hear it...?

[betty02]

Yeah I couldn't hear it either! (well maybe a lil :P) but really, what's the point of a BOV if you can't hear it...?


Point is to release the warm air so it doesnt push it back in your air box :P

[Twingo Geekeo]

that is correct but also releases pressure so you can loose power with them

[Graham]

that is correct but also releases pressure so you can loose power with them


As K-Tec said themselves, complete rubbish!! Even if you had a re-circulating dump valve, as standard, it's still dumping the air! But instead of being dumped to the air inlet pipe, it's dumped to atmosphere!




Yeah I couldn't hear it either! (well maybe a lil :P) but really, what's the point of a BOV if you can't hear it

You can hear it, when in the cabin you can hear it really well!! It's just me poo camera, just picked up road and engine noise!!

For anyone who is interested in this, if you want a loud DV then this isn't the one for you! But if like me, you drive a lot and don't want the constant dumping and venting at high speeds then yea, this is the DV for you!!

edit: screwed up quoting!!

[GT08]

I will get it if I get the exhaust

not complete crap as i know a freind who had a skyline and when putting a dump valve on it and then rolling roaded it lost bhp bet with a re-cir it didnt loose power

How though!?! Surelt the dumping won't make a difference if it's dumped to atmosphere or re-circulated!?!

Only thing i can guess is that the new valve was working correctly or wasn't sealed properly around the outlet pipe, causing loss of pressure!?!

[Twingo Geekeo]

because instead of chucking the air back tho the system keeping the turbo spinning it was dumping it out the system letting the turbo stop spinning

if that makes sense its hard 2 explain

[betty02]

Car undertsand the ''debate'' here?
Some cars loose BHP from the dump valve yes, if it doesnt dumps to early or opens to early wwithout a full on dump then its releasing the build up of the air pressure thats makes the car go 'faster' in a sence if thats goes to early your loosing the power, if it goes to late your cars will go wooom-tshh BANG!

Still nto sure the exact debate here?

[Twingo Geekeo]

dont worry just laying facts down

you know what us boys can be like but you summed that up well

[Graham]

That's the spring rate then!!! As others found on here with the venting!!

This DV you need to seriously drive hard for it to dump, meaning the turbo is still spinning!?! Am i right!?!

Neither do i, i'm just saying that it shouldn't matter what DV you fit (atmospheric/re-circ) as they both due the same job...to dump air! This should not affect the cars performance for the reason explained!! Just one dumps into the atmosphere and one is into the air system!

[Twingo Geekeo]

yuo are right having to drive hard to make it dump and that is all down to spring ratings bout also down to the vechile as well im guessing as he tryed all sorts of dump valves from different places he tryed forge and Baileys they both lost power so i think its all about finding the correct one or a vechile that likes the dump valve

any ways if k tec says there keeps the power on thats all that matters and suppose if it doenst thats called faulse advirtising

[betty02]

your right and wrong from what i know lol, it doesnt HAVE to be driven hard for it to dump as they dump on the pressure fair enough the harder you drive it the more pressure is building it, but it is a known fact certain cars and dumvalves no matter what make model kind or springs can loose power, fact also is some cars with the correct dump valve and spring and stuff can gain power

[GT08]

Graham have you declared your mods to insurance?

[Graham]

Graham have you declared your mods to insurance?


Yep all declared, panel filter has added i thinks £15!?! All others added nought!

Phoning up this weekend bout the DV, should be the sameish as the filter i reckons!! Not a hug amount to spend to know your fully covered ;) :)

phone them and ask

im with churchill and they say you have to be over 25 to have mods

churchill are **** tho im not going to be with them again next year

[Graham]

Yea i've got the Bonus Accelerator, but i'm staying with them! You just can't beat them young drivers anyways!!

Just converted me mum, '08 Plate GT, shes insured for £240 :o :o :o

Your still running the risk, if you get stopped by the police and they do an insurance check, yes it may come back that you have insurance on the car...but they may ask if all the mods are declared, if they ain't bummed!! Your car has no insurance, good bye car, good bye clean licence and good luck trying to find someone to insure you!!

I bloody hate people who haven't declared mods, you spend all that money on making the car look nice and smart, but if you can't afford to legally drive it on the road then i'm sorry you shouldn't even own a car!! I pay the price for modifying my car, so should over people! Mini rant over!!

[flv1333]

I guess my insurance is great....! I have a automatic "up to 5000.- € additional parts claim" at no charge...meaning as long as I keep all of my receipts, and the parts are on the car if something happens (hope not) I'm covered!!!

If I where to go over that then I would have to pay... I wouldn't know how much though.

[Twingo Geekeo]

i had this with a copper on my clio they can check insurance but it doesnt say anythink about mods to them the only way to find out about mods is contacting your insurance company but they dont contact them all they do it give you a seven day wonder where you have to produce documents at the police station

Thats really clever, and simple to do from a hospital bed while your on a life support machine after stuffing your car into an artic or something

Some of the comments on this forum begger belief sometimes, its all very well having a thread elsewhere moaning at the cost of insurance etc then comments are posted about someone who basically defrauded his insurance by not declaring the mods, people like that are why your insurance is so high!!

And yes all mods (and factory extras) are declared on mine

[Fensider]

Here here! If everyone had valid insurance, the price would drop. But for those of us who obey THE LAW, we keep getting stiffed my idiots who think they can save a quick buck. Frankly I have no sympathy for people who try to cheat the insurance system!

As Karl has said they dont currently have an RS as a demo car so they cant unfortinatly manufactor any parts for it yet, but if you drop them and email they may be getting one who knows!

Let us know if you here anything and we will no doubt do the same!

Im fully comp under my mom. due to me gettin my own no claims with direct line.

but they want 750 access. as i found out when i crashed it. useless f.....fairies :)

Thants a joke £750 really is!

Isnt this direct line anme driver no claims thing ONLY with direct line? so your no clams as a named driver are ONLY with direct line so after a year if you went to another company you technically wouldnt have any no claims?

Had an email from Dave at K-Tec on friday but it went to my junk folder so just checked it today anyway its some news on there hoses and a picture (trust it to be friggin yellow :() such a tease anyway here we go



Hello,

SFS are making the hoses exclusively for us.

At present the air filter inlet hose is going to be around £95+vat and the full coolant hose kit will be around £219+vat.

We have tested the inlet hose and this now fits correctly and we should be test fitting the coolant hose kit in the next 2 weeks.

That does look ace, does that mean we can order them now hehe! Sssssssoooooooo tempted if they do a tango pipe/kit! For once i don't think the prices are that bad tbh, as we discussed Samco charge a hell of a lot more then what they are charging ;) :D

any update on the rs parts on the site? anyone got any idea when the exhaust and filter is avaible? dying to get them on the rs

[Dan Dan]

i phoned k-tec to day and they said that the filter will be about a week. when the part number is on there you can order one.

[toop133]

Mini update for y'all ;D

- TwingoRS panel filters are now available to buy...
- TwingoRS exhaust system has been developed along with the 'oval' design rear box, it's going to be a further 3-4weeks for the parts to be produced

- By the sounds of the email, the GT will have the option of the twin pipe exit exhaust, the RS will have the option of the oval exhaust. Standard is vice versa, i.e. GT with oval and RS with twin ;) ::)

- TwingoGT StageII remap, have sourced an uprated clutch, will hopefully be testing it out this week! Fingers crossed by the end of April we should have something we've all been waiting for, well i know i have hehehehehehe ;D
- TwingoGT Silicone Hose Kits (Turbo Induction and Coolant Hoses) been developed and are being fitted this week too! I have seen this kit and have to say it does look the mutts nutts, deffo worth the wait ;) :)

That is it for now, anyone wanting further details contact K-Tec :)

[Graham]

I can see a Poll coming :D :D

[toop133]

when i see the pics i should know which i want, but lets get a poll anyways!

[twingoRS]

well i must say i do like the twin pipe
but i like 2 c what the oval looks like thow

[Graham]

The oval, by the sounds of the email, is gunna be the same as the GT's and the GT's optional twin pipe is gunna be the same as the standard RS's! If that makes sense!

[toop133]

[Monster Detail]

hi there,

I have a 133 and I was just wondering what sort of gains you could get for me, using a remap and panel filter???

not sure if this has already been asked but can't be bothered to go through 17 pages of posts, lol.

thanks, Matt

[Graham]

Thought i'd give this a bump!

Lots of new bits available for both the RS (http://www.k-tecracing.com/catalogue.asp?app=Twingo%20RS) and the GT (http://www.k-tecracing.com/catalogue.asp?app=Twingo%202)

Enjoy ;D
