couple of day light vids, have had to change a driveshaft seal that was weeping a touch. few things to tidy up and check but its booked on oulton park on the 20th may
500bhp plus that will be lively lol
main aim for mine is that it can still br driven hard on the track and hopefully not die!

car went to EFI parts on Sunday for a couple of runs. Chris was happy with the fuelling and boost etc which was good to hear. Slightly lean as it came on boost very low down but very safe everywhere else. Made 235BHP and 239Torque so very happy with that on a 100k standard engine.
Bought some...
Kurt has finally finished the wiring, custom indicators and hazards that I couldn't do. Just needs a few more wires soldering and job done. Dash is all in now but no pic yet, just a shot of the wires!

Not sure why but no oddly never took any when working on it! It's clear when you do it what needs chopping out though.
Drivers engine mount is a direct fit yes!
shall try and get a daylight test drive in horrocks! have mailed efi-parts for a rolling road session
the chasis rail doesn't need much notching out, but when we did it we did more than needed really but lets us get the full engine and box in through the too of the bay now. Gearbox mount using...
Custom driveshaft's are done and installed, first test drive last night smells like its got a slight water leak around the turbo somewhere but generally all went well. surface isn't very good at our unit and the tracking is miles out so was spinning in 3rd.
Few pics and vids
Plans are to fit the full megane 225 engine/6 speed box ECU loom clocks basically everything from a megane 225 to keep the costs down of aftermarket management/mapping etc. at the same time hard mount the seat, re do ABS using megane/Peugeot mastercylinder parts for the hydrolic clutch. electric...
