Nice, that's on my wish list as well :smiley: How far is it from being finished?

That's fine I'll make sure you go first this time.

I remember your R26, shame the engine blew up as it was a quick car. Well, I do always try to go one better than you :tonguewink:

Too much money so hopefully this is the last of it.

It's been sat in bits for over a month now sat looking sorry for itself but hopefully it'll be up and running by the end of the week :smile: I collected the gearbox this evening. It's taken so long because the parts where on backorder and had to come from Renault France. Then they were stuck...

Great car, looks stunning!

That's not good, makes me nervous about my stud kit. Especially as a Meg 250 binned it at Brands Hatch because of snapped studs.

I'm free Saturday night so I'll come for a few beers :beers:

I'm up for this, Katzenjammers sells Weissbier and is easy to get to from Waterloo.

I've had the gearbox inspected by 3D Transmissions in Reading. It needs 6th gear pair, crown wheel, pinion shaft, 2nd gear synchro, and input bearing. The 6th gears on input and main have lost teeth which have then damaged the crown wheel and pinion shaft. I'm pissed off about the bearings...

I'll be changing the discs soon anyway and I did spray the calipers with brake cleaner then gave them a quick wipe over. It's reliable if you don't use 6th 😂 It's never in my ownership actually had a breakdown that meant I couldn't drive it where I wanted to go. And I did all this...

Looks like it shouldn't take too long to get it running :grinning:

Thanks, hoping it's covered as it was 6th gear that was replaced but I'll let you know.

I used that and a few more colourful words. Fancy rebuilding it if the transmission company don't cover it under warranty?

So 6th gear has gone :confused: It happened two weeks ago, I was driving home in 6th when it started rattling. First thought was s**t the engine has gone but to my relief the noise went when I changed down. All other gears are fine but 6th crunches when selected and then rattles. Luckily I was...

XP8's are good thanks, no issues at all so far.

Have you got this back from ClioTurbo yet @optical?

Thanks Mark :up:

Where did you purchase them from? It cost £45 each last time I bought new coils from Renault Wolverhampton!

Nice work Mark, wiring looks top notch. Do you know if the Valeo coils fit a Megane R26?

Thanks Matt It's ok so far, I haven't felt any slipping and clutch has done 7.5k miles now (5k on old engine and 2.5k on this one). I'll try to make the meet on Sunday :)

Update Realised that I've not done a proper update on results and spec of the engine since RS Tuning rebuilt it. It's now running 340bhp and 360lbft with injectors at 89% and turbo not pushed to the max. There's another LY Megane with same spec engine but upgraded fuel system running 375bhp so...

I'm thinking of doing this to my Storm Grey 172 as I've got everything required apart from a Megane head and an ecu. You'll need a new set of Megane injectors, or if they come with a donor engine get them cleaned as they have a habit of failing. I also wouldn't put used Megane pistons and rods...

I'll consider this if it's in London so it's easy to get a train to and from.

Nice work :smiley:

What pistons are you using? Guess the block will be bored out to 83mm. Takes the piss that you still haven't received the ECU after paying weeks ago.

Has the engine been built yet?
