Has anyone thought of putting a C1j into the old twingos and chasing the 1/4 mile times?
i would of thought the engine should fit and the shell would weigh less than a campus R5.
plus left hand drive, would the driver weight being over the gearbox side not help with traction? or am i talking bo((ox!
have you had a look at andrew cookes project not a c1j though i knowOriginally Posted by Maka

Been done before mate years ago, remember it being a green Twingo and being featured in a mag some years ago. It'll come back to me when and who done it.Has anyone thought of putting a C1j into the old twingos and chasing the 1/4 mile times?

surely with the guys expertie these days with the engine and nitrous, this little car could be hitting low 11s maybe 10s with a power c1j in it?
It may do mate, i'm not exactly sure how much a Twingo weights as that will play a big part in it. To be absolutely honest i can't see it being that much more lighter then a 5 so then power to weight ratio wouldn't be any different.
I do remember reading in the feature of the turbo'd twingo that space was a problem but when there's a will there's a way.
I'll try find it and see what went into it.
i saw the project thread but never realised it was a twingo.

I'd say that the twingo is heavier than the 5, but the swap you're thinking of would be simple to do.
