Extra van booked in for morning. R26 for Afternoon. Cant wait

Working from home today and had a knock at the door.. 7.5t truck outside & Mr delivery man says your frame is here. Sw motorsport clubman rear cage. Looking forward to fitting this. Will get the mrs to give me a lift in with it on Sat if all goes well. Thanks for reading!!

Great minds think alike i need to give the rest a rub with an oily rag :LOL:

Great job, should be a good improvement in handling with the wide track. Lambda on cruise set screen is spot on. I might look into seeing if its possible to do that on my ecumaster black. Set always comes up with ign on, might aswell use it as cruise is not hooked up.

Updates. Winter wash and interior clean. Rained straight after and continues to piss down. Clean for ten mins Number plate light has been going on and off recently and wiggling the wiring plug or bulb got it going for a day or so, but not permanent fix as terminals and bulb holder super...

Cheers mate. Its been a nice easy bit of spannering this one, simply replace knackered parts and should be good for loads of use now. It drives excellent on new map, mid 30s mpg on the street. Id say this is the perfect level of mods for a meg2. Nothing too extreme, goes well and handles great.

Engine cover refitted today. Not bad for a quick blast over!

Same seat as megane r26 with different mounts.

Updates. Trip to Efi yesterday. Weather turned to shite early hours of Thurs morning typically. Baltic -3deg As the snow rarely lays in Redcar, was expecting a bit on the roads and slow driving so set off 11am as had to be at Efi for 3.30pm. Full tank of tesco 99 Set off and 5 miles down...

Just zoomed in and your right they are different mate. Nigh on identical apart from slightly different spoke.

Yep uch, ecu and key thats all you need. Id try the trophy one but dont have the oem ecu as its on standalone. I do have another ecu set somewhere but that had issues from memory.

£2.99 off ebay mate. Whole refurb cost around £8 after buying paint. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401746114318?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yzn3ozibTU-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sQrVQpEdQKi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The 15" technomagnesio detroit look like my old ones. I sold them to a local lad and he done them anthracite, seen them up for sale recently.

Extended reach defo.

Had a reply from Efi and i should be able to get in on Thursday for mapping. Cant wait, not expecting massive figures, just a good safe tune on stock turbo. Be interesting to see if it can be ran up on current map to see what it makes as is.

Give the engine cover a spruce up today with some silver wheel paint and new stickers. Quick rub over with scotchbrite and panel wipe down then blast over. Turned out OK. Before During After Thanks for reading!!

Thanks mate. It all worked out quite nice for an unknown conversion. Only downside was cost! Looking forward to better weather, will tax it and get it used again.

I was expecting to turn it around in a week but yeah soon realised it was pretty much scrap. ill pass on rebuilding another one for now ive had enough pain for a few month :LOL: Usually have no choice as always scrap:LOL: my mate rocked up in his bm yesterday and said i need to move away from...

Uch issues are generally dry solder joints in the board so you wont see much unless stripping it down and looking on the circuit board carefully. Send it off to diesel pump repairs and he will check it over and sort any issues...

Updates. Used stock 14t turbo bought as i suspected the seal was leaking on this one as slight oil whiff on idle after changing seals. Was absolutely correct diagnosis when removed. Chra/cold side easy to remove. Rear seal leaking oil, oil on core can be seen. Turbo fitted, finished the last...

Wonder if any issues in the bulkhead loom connector next to washer bottle or uch playing up regarding the washer jets.

Same specialist that done my yellow meg by any chance :LOL: Was it the esp light on the dash? the abs/non esp cars dont even have the yaw sensor. Mines disconnected and esp button removed and light turned off on dash, abs light works as it should and no faults stored. Had no choice getting rid...

I have yaw sensor unplugged on my trophy to disable asr and have turned off the asr light on the dash with clip. Abs light extinguishes as normal.

Them boots look like they are for the hydraulic rack with the larger inner. I cant remember the part number but i found some that fitted ok, even if slightly smaller they will go on. These will work ok going by the size. The rubber is soft will stretch on fine...

The fasteners arent too bad, was just the monkey that had been there before sadly. Luckily have a load of used ones so made a set up. Engine bay sound deadening is about shagged on it. Needs replacing really but i dont think its possible to find a good used one.

Regarding rack boots, febi make half decent quality ones. Sizing is a minefield however

Great updates, maxxecu install looks spot on.

Its horrendous mate. The more i looked the more bodges ive seen. Cheers mate. I recall thinking this was a quick project :LOL: couldnt leave it mate i reckon it would have went wrong at some point. The sump bolts are terrible. I done similar and chain drilled the flange off the bolt and...

Weekend update Started off with installing new cam seals. Ching spec mandrel doing the business. Dug out the homemade crank puller. Easy work. That took a whole half an hr max. Onto sump removal next. Im no stranger to the etorx bolts holding them on and how soft they are. 5 bolts were...

Ive bled my trophy from totally dry and no issues bled up straight away without activating abs, but had to put 4ltrs through another renault and had to activate the abs solenoids a few times to get a good pedal. Luck of the draw, suck it and see i guess. Buy a pressure bleeder if you dont...
