Yes, I'll start one this evening.

Date is good for me.

What's the difference in power between options one and two?

I've split the engine but all parts are available apart from the pistons.

Another thumbs up for Greenlight. They didn't charge me a penny for adding my forged engine etc to my policy.

Ok mate, fancy helping me with my stud kit after as well?

The car is back now after having the cam cover resealed, cam timing sorted and I also decided to have the cams from the old engine refitted. There is a Surrey Rolling Road day on Saturday so I'm taking it a power run, hopefully it performs better than last week at RS Tuning! I'm going to try...

@Cub. if you're still going do you fancy meeting on route to convoy down?

Looking forward to your first meet @Christopher. . I'm going to try to get my engine mapped on the Friday so it's ready for this.

I might try to come along to see what my engine is doing.

It's not great for a meet as car park is small, it's pay and display now, and you can't reserve a table. I think we should just do Longbridge Mill again, everyone knows it and easy to get to from M4 or M3.

Hope you get the mapping issues sorted.

Yes, it's the Forge hard pipe kit. http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Alloy_Hard_Pipe_Kit_for_Renault_Megane_225230--product--973.html I've got almost everything Forge sell for the Megane. I don't have much luck when I visit RS Tuning! Hopefully I'll be able to go back for mapping before the...

Put the battery back in the car this morning.

Thanks Chris I think the drill is older than me lol

I find the R26 is on average 5mpg worse than the 172. Are you bringing the 250 to the Oxfordshire meet next Sunday?

It's going back to the garage on Monday to get the timing and cam cover sorted. I've been working today on getting the Odyssey battery mounted in the holder I bought. The ends weren't straight so fixed that using my vice. Drilled four holes to mount it to battery tray. Used a punch and...

A Scanguage is a good alternative.

I've heard it's quite good.

No, my friends garage in Basingstoke built it.

Disappointment again unfortunately :( It made 237bhp and 320lbft torque with it doing nothing from 5k. On investigation we found the exhaust cam timing was a mile out and silicone has been used on cam cover blocking the oil ways. Next step is to get the cam cover sealant and timing sorted then...

Thanks guys. Booked in for 1pm so I'll update this tomorrow afternoon with the results. @Gray are you still going to be in Leeds?

She would be too young for you :tonguewink:

Tomorrow is the big day :) Oil was switched over to Millers Nanodrive last week after 500 miles. It's on almost 800 miles now so I'll have over 1000 miles on the new engine once I've got to RS Tuning. My mechanic checked the car over yesterday and everything was good so fingers crossed it...

Sounds good to me. It would be better to have it more central so South Coast members can attend.

Anyone want to meet at Chieveley to convoy up?

Depends, if he saw me heading towards Basingstoke no as the engine wasn't up to temperature :tonguewink:

I didn't notice you.

That's annoying that someone has hit it :(

I use velcro coins from Wilkinson's.
