I'm sure he'll sort it, might get it done when the winter months come in and he's not so busy , he will want it done correctly so it's reliable, here's hoping it all comes good soon

The plus side is they only need a small rad up front, so you get maximum cooling to the radiator, a lot of people getting issues with heat is purely down to the air physically can't get to the rad due to the intercooler taking up too much room, this is common on smaller cars such as clio, 106...

Get a s2000, that'll keep you happy Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk

The hard works been done, whip it out and send it away for rebuild, then that'll be it sorted for many years to come, maybe ha Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk

People say this is due to the fpr loosing pressure over time, but im not convinced, as this should not cause the pump not to come on and prime the system, which is the problem, I've tried two pumps/fpr's and mine is still the same as you describe, terrible when cold and sometimes requires second...

Temps might be due to all the air coming through the lower mesh in the bumper going into the intercooler, when this was initially designed to cool the radiator, i guess very limited amount of air, and likely warm air at that is actually getting to the radiator. I'd fit a larger radiator...

Anyone in aberdeen/aberdeenshire got clip that could permanently turn off my airbags for some cash?

Worth a try with the relays, see some people have had issues with the fuel pump on arming once you turn the ignition on and off twice, you may have the same problem, nightmare geting to the bottom of stupid issues like this

Is the fuel pump kicking in the first time yiu turn the key or the second, maybe fuel pressure related also

This is all normal, i have replaced every brake part and its just like above, its a very poor design, was poor in the 80's on the 5/11 turbos but they continued to use the same set up

thats how i ended up with my donor haha, its hidden in the garage away from the wife

So whats the new plan with this one?

Ive got a full megane as a donor car, and looking to complete the conversion later this year on my 172 cup, just looking at options atm, more parts that are easily available if i used clio top end, not 100% sure on best route to take tbh

Do you have any pics off the modifications/your set uo at the timing side? Im fitting a meg eng/box to my 172cup this winter, but thinking on going with the clio top end as there is more off the shelf stuff regarding the manifold/downpipe etc

Anyone got any info on fitting/or has fitted a 172/182 head to a meg 225 block, is there any modifications required on the cambelt side? just looking at options prior to conversion Thanks

Lets hope it goes to plan and makes some torque this time, how is the pnp ecu? Easy to set up and is it pnp or do you need to mess around with the wiring, Away to do a meg eng & bix conversion this winter, bought complete running car last week so no holding back now ha, need some boost in my life

What subframes are you using? Also any links on where to get them/price Thanks

I have a set about to be fitted, i ideally want to keep the slider on the drivers seat, but heard they are not that great with loads of movement from side to side, anyone else experienced this?

Yeah i had a look at that but unsure if it would work, I'll ned to phone them really

Im planning to carry out a meg 225 engine & box conversion into my 172cup, i have a complete donor car but have a few questions: Whats the best way to to go with management so everything still works as it should, in regards to the speedo etc? Also is the only way around the servo issue to fit...

Well its a no brainer, only 500 notes, just get it done, they lack power so will make it more exciting to drive

Looks like this will end up a decent spec car once complete, is 270 brake gonna be good o the standard box, also where you ordering your boost bits from?

Contact catcams first to see what they say, pretty sure it'll be standard settings

Seems to go well, be very difficult to not drive the car hard, everywhere ha

The most it would require would be the bores to be honed i would guess, but even thats requires a strip down, everything else should be fine, as steve says get a boroscope down there is the first thing

Looks excellent, neat and tidy which makes a massive difference, so its just exhaust/map then your away is it? Would you do it again haha, i need meg power, think I'd be happy with everything just need to lòok at wiring

Thanks think its something I'll need to look at again

How is it now, all symptoms gone?

Hope you get some luck soon, i cant beleive these specislists are struggling to build a fast clio in a matter of months, its all basic mechanics apart from building/mapping the engine, which once its all measured, machined in cleaned etc, should take a few days max to build once you have all the...

He's good but surely that thing should of been scrapped,
