So due to me not being able to leave nothing alone today whilst I was at work I thought I'd whip the breather pipe off between the top of the rocker cover and top of the inlet manifold (one with brown and black valve in). Basically when it was running I could hear a whistling noise (kind of...

Tbh as many have already said picking up a second hand engine would be best, sticking a belt on and a fresh service and bobs your uncle. I've done this for a few lads that have suffered aux or Cambelt failure and believe you me its a dam site cheaper! If he's confirmed that there's been...

Fingers crossed it's not to terminal pal

Hope the car comes away with minimal damage though

Tbh I'm glad I didn't attend this time, conditions this weekend seem to have been appalling nationwide! With heavy frosts yesterday and then windy and wet and greasy roads today

Your lots meets are jinxed!

Yeah when I did a trackday at Donington there was r26 on the same setup and he seemed pleased and it looked composed. Come join in there addictive as hell and the Meg seems so well placed on track!

Yeah I've fitted cooksports on folks clios and I really rate them, apparently the springs are made by AST? Seems highly recommend on RS megane too

Awesome mate, you had new dampers or used? I can't wait to fit all my stuff in the new year now due to work and that, giving it a full refresh suspension and steering and some shiney BC's lol

Yeah seen the pics on micks FB, looks a right sod to get at! What suspension is it running currently? Looked lowered at Donington

When you see them in person I personally think they look much better, especially in that colour. I must say I wasn't a fan when they were first released but they've really won me round.

Yeah it's a real nice example, 2 owner car and enthusiast owned. In regards to the flywheel it seems luck of the draw, some lads have the light on and some don't, either way it's getting mapped haha

Well yesterday went on a little adventure with @SteBurns to somewhere near RAF cosford in the middles to look at a potential new motor for Ste. After much pondering over replacements he came to his senses (or at least in my opinion haha) and bought a lovely example of a megane trophy! The...

Tbh I'd be very surprised if you can't get a single mass conversion for your dci, you can get them for most make and models now day's

Yes it can bring the light on but as mentioned RS tuning can map this out which is handy as Paul at RS will be mapping this

Yeah my dual mass has a slight vibration at idle and is a little noisy, plus I'm going for a bit more power so it's got to be a good basis

The R26r clutch was only 130 delivered from Ads and Renault Wolverhampton. I have had to buy the R26r spec flywheel (albeit a solid lightened version)

Well we've always got our section of private road to begin with haha

That's can be arranged ;)

Fast shed ;)

So after more than a few drinks yesterday in Birmingham with some of the lads from work I woke up this morning feeling slightly ill so what better cure then to give the car a long awaited scrub. So here's the results

I think the biggest improvement will be when I do my Craig barley day hahaha

So picked a few more bits up now for the megane ready for the surgery after Christmas. So first off picked up a clutch off Ads, R26r jobby so 20% more clamping force apparently. Then got a bit of a bargain on an r26r smf lightened and balanced billet at a bit of a bargain after someone...

Yeah I should of known better ;)

Looks good Ste, that shows how altering things like camber and ride height has such a big effect on geo settings. Gave it some beans yet ;)

I'll be up for it, just checked and I'm off work that weekend. Only thing is I hope we make a bit more "progress" this time I was getting a bit board tootling along shall we say.

There is nothing controlled when @SteBurns is behind the wheel haha

Yeah could prove to be, be ideal if you could pinch a charger setup of another car and manufacture it to fit

Forced induction ignis ;)

No worries Steve anytime, as I said I think the reason in small increase in ride height is down to the fact the old springs were 10 years old so had sagged a little We'll get them bolts in and dial some camber in and get the tracking sorted, maybe a little toe out ;) and see how she goes
