The word you're looking for is character. Which huddersfield has plenty of

leedsboy · Nov 30, 2016

I wasn't sure if people were looking at us because there were 3 of the same car we were fixing or whether they were looking to mug us!

Louis · Nov 30, 2016

I'd probably go for mugging. I was gonna pop over when you were all round but think I was in York (home) at the time.
Thankfully my house has a nice large driveway behind so noone watching.

leedsboy · Nov 30, 2016

Should have done, we could have used another umbrella holder. Kept absolutely pissing it down when we were fitting the springs to Sams car. And when I say 'we' I mean Dan fitting them whilst me and Sam stood around watching.

Awesome progress, looking forward to updates.

Thanks mate.

What did you do regarding the speedo on yours? If using the meg box?

At the moment I am still using the JC5 box, until I decide to go VAG or meg box. But I've got a digital Speedo which does everything with after market sensors, I have two magnets on the driveshaft with the sensor mounted to the gearbox with a bracket, and then its all setup on the software for the speedo with gear ratios, wheel, tyre size etc, works a treat Just a bit of a headache to setup

haimsey · Dec 3, 2016

I've just logged in to post the page in PFC mag, beaten to it though

dann2707 · Dec 4, 2016

I know, I'm fairly surprised myself hahaha

Last night I cleaned the engine bay, it took all of 15 minutes but I think the results speak for themselves!

Before

After

I need to sort out a few other little things like my PMS bolts - will be going stainless.

I'm now on the hunt for a cheap meg 225 for the donor and I'm looking to spend around £1200 max so need to keep my eyes peeled at car auctions for write offs etc.

debussetti · Dec 4, 2016

If you're prepared to wait, keep an eye on http://www.copart.co.uk/ can't see any 225s on there at the moment, but they do come up.

dann2707 · Dec 6, 2016

I think someone on here mentioned about putting some fairy lights in the engine table. Gf found some the other day. I like it!

It never got it in the end mate. It really doesn't need it though. It's immaculate!

I got it for a decent price!

Jekyll · Dec 6, 2016

Whats the plans for the meg after the engine is to be had? Break it for parts to sell on?

Louis · Dec 6, 2016

Should do an insane engine drop on the megane...

Yeah mate! It's going to broken as I'm doing it. So surprised at the engine, it pulls really well. I've never been in a 225 before. Should be sick in the clio

GrahamS · Dec 6, 2016

I'm deeply saddened you have all this space to do awesome projects and get to tinker in the week while I'm sat here in a chicken coop with no garage or my car. Wah.
Things are moving bloody fast and skill developing at an insane rate! Would love to start welding too. Try and get your hands on a DCI100 pedal box matey, you don't want to be running brakes without servo!

Ol’ Tarby · Dec 6, 2016

Having owned a couple of 172s and now owning a 225, I think a mix of the two would be just perfect!
My megane now owes me nothing, and I'm about to acquire my old 172 back.....how hard is this conversion @dann2707?

Hmmmm

Why are you against not running a servo?

I mean if MC/brakes are standard. If the system is designed to not run one it's fine. Personally I'd like to keep everything close to using very OEM parts so if it busts it's a bargain replacement.

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words. Yeah as mash said, I'm going to be running a pedal box. I think the main reason is so that I can get the seat wheel and pedals straight... I kid haha

Welding is so fun too, it's really therapeutic I've found and when I've had a spare hour or so I've just been practising my welds in the garage. Apparently the lights flicker when I'm down there so the electric bill should be a laugh.

Haha it's fairly involving as it's going to need a custom mount for the gearbox, Standalone ecu, fabricated driveshafts, then I'm running a pedal box so that will need custom brake lines.

Going to be taking from the meg

Brembos
Driveshafts
Engine
Gearbox
Gearstick and cables
Intercooler and pipework

Everything else will be up for sale if anyone needs anything
