    Tom's Meg 225 - The Clio Replacement

    Fitted some DS1.11 pads with 330mm bells and rotors. Behind my 17" Alleggeritas And fitted new discs with bearings and pads on the rear. Also painted the callipers to match the fronts. Brakes are strong! Looking forward to the track day next weekend.

    Not Normal Dans R26 Megane F1

    What's wrong with the caster bushes? I've done 4 trackdays with mine so far.

    Old Skool cool cars

    It was a great little car and very practical too! It got to the point where a bit of rust was starting to come through. I decided to break it and sold the shell on. I was only the second owner from new and it was never welded... 2.0 conversion, cams, manifolds, coilovers, big brakes and...

    Old Skool cool cars

    Miss my old Mk2 Fiesta...such a fun car. Had a 195bhp 160lbft 2.0 zetec engine with ported head, newman cams, bike carbs etc. Which I then changed for a Focus Rs engine running 230bhp and 250lbft. Other bits were Ib5 with custom ratios and quaife diff, adjustable tcas and tie rods, adjustable...

    Ditch the heavy battery and ECU mount. Save 10kg easily :)

    Not Normal Dans R26 Megane F1

    I cut the bars out under the Ktec subframes. Saved an extra 2kg or so and no issues with rigidity once bolted to the seats.

    Clio 200 akrapovic

    Paul at RS Turning said they're the only system on the 200 that genuinely gains power too.

    Tom's Meg 225 - The Clio Replacement

    Booked on the 24th April now, there's a few guys off the RenaultSport forum doing it then too as an unofficial RS trackday.

    Lithium Ion Battery

    Avanti racing storm are probably the cheapest lightweight wheels that will fit, lighter and cheaper than oz ultraleggeras etc. About 4.5kg per wheel and iirc around 500-600 for a brand new set. As for batteries. I ran thw golf cart ones and eventually they would have enough. Currently running a...

    AD52 BHP

    Great result! As Carl said I'd be tempted just to do the manifold and exhaust and leave the cams.

    Tom's Meg 225 - The Clio Replacement

    Booked it the other day, looked at the calendar and realised it's mothers day. So I'm afraid I'll be cancelling and doing a different day.

    Diesel on the roundabout... Honest

    T1Rs are the devil spawn of tyres tbf. The number of scrapped cars due to them must be fairly substantial.

    Sounds good, I'll ask my mate see if he's available too

    Tom's Meg 225 - The Clio Replacement

    Not much to report other than the NS2R on a cold wet day are a bit scary when pushing on. I changed my cheap battery for a Varley 25 and it starts well now. Went for a run around the triangle and surrounding area as it's local. And a shot of being cold and wet...

    1986 Ford Fiesta XR2 1.7 VVT Turbo

    I would have thought a td05 on a 1.7 would be laggy as hell. TD04HL would easily make more power than you could want.

    Track phase 182

    Mondeo valves job done. Worked for me and @franx Don't mess around when something works out of the box!

    Martin_172's Ultra Red 197 R27

    Paul was saying they're the only exhaust he has seen make gains on the mk3. Get some catcams and a map and it'll be over 200bhp

    Not Normal Dans R26 Megane F1

    Megane 250 340mm discs. Elongate pcd to 5*108. 14mm spacers with longer bolts. Bosh!

    Dealer photos are shite too!

    Turbo Build - Stage 1, 2 or 3

    I'd rather go for more power and less torque from a supercharger conversion instead. But you lose the aircon.

    Track phase 182

    The callipers have been taken back a bit on the outer radius too to help with wheel clearance.

    02' Saab 9-3 Coupe Turbo

    Love it! That td04hl-15t should be good for around 300bhp

    K20 powered 172

    The alternator was a 110a one, not a cup 75a version. I ran an 80mm pulley on it.
