Took the 170 for a drive with some friends Sunday

Spent all day Saturday cleaning it just do end up in a dusty car park Sunday. Gutted!!

The more I drive this car the more I like it













Have a few plans for it, at the minute I'm just putting niggly bits right.

What u all think?

 

Do all your mates work for Renault?

 

Haha no. Used to have a RS Twingo before so they are all mates I keep in touch with from Twingo forum

 

Can you keep up with them

Looks well there!

 

those twingos look....................fun ? is that the right word lol

How are they in speed compared to ya 170 ?

what engine are they ?

 

Tbh there's not much in it. The Focus wins but not by much. 3rd and 4th in Focus and it really pulls away. They really hope their own through twisties though but the back end of the Twingo is very lively.

Focus feels more planted and is much better built. Half of the Renault is plastic. Horrible plastics inside and the driving position is high in the Twingo too.

They are a 1.6 133bhp engine but you have to drive them different. You have to wring their necks all the time to get them to go any where and the engine has horrible flat spots until about 4k revs and then it comes alive

Here's my old one

 

mate that looks clean as, don't take this the wrong way but why did u sell it for a 170 ?

 

Most unreliable thing ive ever had. Will never ever have another french car. As soon as warranty ran out it went. You name it, it went wrong. Plus costs are silly. 299 pound for a service. 145 pound a corner for tyres etc.

Focus my dad can fix, can get everything, loads more reliable and more mods for it. Plus im ford through and through.

I do have plans for the focus just want it 100% right 1st

Forgot to say i had a zr after the twingo then got the focus. Zr wad gonna have a 20v turbo conversion but i got bored of it so quickly that it went before i got chance to do it

 

There a good car are the ST170S.

 

Looks good davey

 

Fancy seeing u here
