Popped over to North Weald for the afternoon to have a mooch about and see the cars running the quarter mile. Quickest of the day was the Nismo plated NOS'd Skyline running mid 10s

A mate of mine mentioned this today and is going tomorrow for a mooch about. Was wondering if anyone from here is attending? I was thinking of taking the Megane out for a run.

I'm tempted to book in on Brands Hatch next Thursday for the evening session just to see how it goes. There's loads of stupid small jobs on the to do list that all add up, a little frustrating as I want them all done and like yesterday.

Ordered a set of these this morning from Renault Parts Direct, will fit these for when I take it out on track. A nice finishing touch for the Meg when out on track.

I couldn't imagine going back to standard wheels unless they're a second set with trackday tyres fitted. Spent some of the weekend sorting out the interior plastics as they're scratched and dated.

Fitted all new OE exhaust hangers last night and took it out for a drive to check everything's ok

So the scangauge reads the charge temps then

Air intake for what? Pre, post IC? Pre inlet? Sorry just trying to understand what's going on with your setup.

Would have thought after everything you've been through those 2 gauges would have been a must.

Do you have aftermarket oil temp and pressure gauges fitted?

Blimey what a difference! Soo much better

I'm using DS1.11 pads up front on HC discs. Immense pads. OE pads, discs. I guess it also depends on driving style, and suspension geo..... I really, really want to get back to the Nurburgring, especially in the Meg.

Brakes all done. Coilovers and geometry done. Interior stripped to where I'm happy for it to be. Sabelt seat and 4 point harness all in place. I've ordered new swivel hub bearings, I've also bought all 3 exhaust mount brackets. Ordered a new OE drivers side upper engine mount. I still need to...

Thanks Joe, means a lot coming from a fellow Megane owner. So far, I had my first half decent spirited drive last night. I haven't played with number of clicks on the settings but how they are now it feels soft enough to ride out the roads, at speed it absorbs the bumps quite well. Not hard...

We've not discussed anything yet, the rear door cards are out, just a case of removing the fronts and swapping out. I'm not sure what's involved, being French it's probably not that straight forward.

Well I was toying with swapping it over with a cloth one. I've put the leather rear door cards in the shed and wouldn't mind swapping the front to pov spec items..... Or going carbon and making my own.

Almost! Needs new swivel bearings, all new exhaust mounts, ABS sensor sorting. There's other bits like fitting the R26R carbon spoiler when that arrives but that doesn't stop me from driving it.

I've only owned it about 2 months and most of that time has been doing the work to it. There's 3-4 mechanical jobs to do then it's ready for trackdays. I should be at Blyton in July but I'll book a trackday hopefully at Brands before that. BC Coilovers New OE rear discs and pads Brembo HC...

Second set of discs arrived Friday and also picked up the better spec pins for the Brembo 4 pots from the local sorting office. Early start this morning, loaded up the car with all the parts and dropped it off with Alex for him to work his magic on it.

Had a panic last night as I'd ordered the discs from Amazon last Saturday and they still hadn't turned up, all it said in the tracking notes was that they were in transit with no location. I've had the Meg booked in for 5 weeks now to have everything fitted this Saturday, front and rear discs...

Is this instead of the domed bolts I'm using already that were purchased from a motorsport company that supply bucket seats, brackets etc? I should be able to purchase high tensile bolts and washers from any half decent fasteners company.

Indeed yes, it's all for mock up purposes to line up the OE bolt hole positions to the side mount brackets..... Thank you

Another delivery, accumulating parts for them all being fitted this Saturday

The postman has been again today, I've also ordered DS1.11 brake pads and a litre of Motul brake fluid which should arrive tomorrow. Still waiting on the Brembo HC discs. As I like things to match everything is all decent quality Sabelt items. That's the seat, steering wheel and 4 point harness.

So this week there's going to be a flurry of deliveries in preparation for Saturdays work. Pins for the Brembo calipers are ordered from the TR stockpile, a big thumbs up to Andy on Turborenault Came home from work to this little lot from Renault parts direct, again a big thank you to them...
