Four months since I got the Monstrous onto the track and its absolutely epic. I've since had it tuned by Paul as RS Tuning and putting out 158kw ATW. Not a huge number, but in a car of this weight more than enough at the moment. Comfortably blowing away a lot of competition. The only Renault so...

Thanks guys, there's plenty of talk about the 225 conversions but very little detail. I found that most of the threads I found ended up being only 225 head/turbo conversions and not the full Monty, or there was just no detail provided on how to achieve a project like this. I know I haven't put...

Its been a while since my last update. I guess I've been pretty busy, but I did document most of the build process on ozrenaultsport.com and have created a summary of my OZRS posts from the past 6 weeks to give you an idea of how the project progressed. Basically its finished, just need to tidy...

I visited Bosnjak Engineering in Wetherill Park yesterday about the driveshafts. They come highly recommended and were very pleasant to deal with. After discussing my intentions to use the Megane inner shafts with the Clio outer CV and making a custom shaft to span the gap they suggested that...

The gearbox came off this week to get the quaife fitted. There is a lightweight flywheel and a Renault clutch which is also pretty new. The inside of the flywheel is totally hollow and you can fit you hand inside it. I also took a look at how the Megane dial cluster would look inside the...

DCI pedal box sounds interesting, but at this stage I intend to weld on the Megane clutch pedal and master cylinder to the Clio pedal box. I will need to do a bit of cutting to make it fit but at this stage it looks like it will work fine. The ethos of my project is to retain as much as possible...

+1 @w33brl - the tip on the Master cylinder was a gem

The Quaife LSD arrived from the UK on Tuesday morning, so once Jonesway is finished with his work I'll take the engine out so Renotech can start on the diff install, this will give me a chance to get the engine bay and interior spray painted, the brake and clutch lines run, then install the...

Hi, I'm Adrian (Ace on OZRS) from Sydney Australia. I posted the below info in another thread and was encouraged to create a project thread so here it is. This first section is a repost but will paint the picture. A mate of mine in Oz is doing a similar project and is well advance but his build...

I fiddled around with the shifter today, I think the earlier suggestions that the vibrations are being passed through from the gearbox are right. I reinstalled the OEM rubber boot which covers the point where the end of the shifter rod bolts to the selector pin at the gearbox end. Vibrations...

I fitted mine last week and also have the horrible rattle. It won't bother me on the track, but I drive it on the road as well as the track and its particularly annoying. If anyone has had any joy in reducing the rattle Id be interested to hear it. I'll try a few things myself this week, I was...

I thought there was a fair amount of sharing in my post. I'll happily update my progress on this process but my build thread on this car is already 20 pages, not to mention my build thread on my Flamer, or my PH1 Ktec turbo build, or my N4-ish Megane RS250. I hope I have provided a really nice...

mmmm, nice idea Thanks for the lead.

I'm maintaining a build thread on http://www.ozrenaultsport.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=21996&sid=d47eca8ab2407a48c9a04d212f283882&start=475#p441440 and don't really want to be running 2 build threads, was more looking for some advice on my outstanding issues.

I did search and can find plenty of threads with Megane 225 motors, turbos, etc, but have not found a completed Megane 225 to Clio 172 conversion including the 6 speed gearbox. Certainly I don't know of anyone in Australia who has yet done this. A mate of mine in Oz is doing a similar project...

Here is a photo comparison showing the control arms from a 2001 Ph2 (non ESP) and a 2003 Ph2 (ESP), both non cup. I also have another 2001 Ph2 and they were identical to the other 2001 Ph2. Early Ph2 Late Ph2 Late Ph2 on the left When looking down from top the late Ph2 is pointing more...

Couple more for good measure.

Sorry guys, where are my manners? See a couple of photos of both my Clio and Megane. New "CLIO" plates should arrive soon to compliment the "MEGANE" plates.

Hi Guys, Bought a 2003 RS Clio 172 Phase 2 last week. Currently own a RS 250 Cup Trophee. Love the 250 but was getting guilty putting on the track so thought I would get something with the same fun level, but lower expense, reserving the 250 for daily driver and long trips. Bought the Clio in...
