I aint to bothered, it won't be my everyday car that the work is being done on anyway (if it happens), as long has I can have a look at the work or I have done it myself then I wont have a problem. Danny you may get a phone call come winter time, don't think you are too far from me! I will...

6th gear would be great. I plan on doing an engine conversion at least once in my life, so why not this. It will be a steep learning curve, but I don't mind a challenge. Its different as well. It will be a while before I am in a position to start anything like this, October/December time...

The VAG boxes have a rep for being pretty strong so that is a good shout. When the summer is drawing to a close and I am getting a bit more serious about starting a project (whatever it ends up being) I will have a chat with Fred. The cup will be due its service sometime soon, so I will go see...

Yeah, tbh I have never really looked at a meg up close (yet i am considering using one for an engine swap !!!!!!!), only ever sat in a few. The gearbox does seem to be a problem and unfortunately it would be hard to tell how difficult it would be until I drop it in the bay!!! Plus I think it...

Yeah, it would be the easier/better option I'm sure. But if everyone did the easy option then it could be very dull, I would prob buy a cheap clio to do the work on and keep my current one to use. Then at least if things stop or money is low I am not left without the cup (would miss it to...

Going to bring this thread back up again. I was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on the feasibility of fitting a meg engine to a clio? From reading this thread it needs some work doing on the chassis leg. I would wanna retain the megs box really. Also what sort of power to...

I can't recommend anywhere unfortunately as I have only ever got mine done when I'm back in Chester at a local place I have a good relationship with. Sorry :o Maybe try asking tommy g, think he took his to a place but I aint completely sure!

Clarendon Park. Just off Welford Road.

Still pretty good going, 2 days. Yeah at Leicester uni, doing mechanical engineering. 3 exams 1 presentation and a discussion with my project tutor and I am done for good :D. Then starting my new job with Jaguar in September providing I do alright in my exams.

f**k me, you don't mess about! Was that all in one day? Wheels look great and the car is slammed! I think white wheels tbh, but they look pretty good as they are! Mate when my exams are done I will have to come have a look!

Car looks lovely, really like it, and wheels look good. Lower it a bit and it will look even better!

Mate its your car, enjoy it and do with it what you like. I wouldn't choose that bumper, but if you like it then fair enough. Ignore what the others say and in the future just be a bit more careful what you post, as unless it is the same as what everyone else has done to their cars you will...

I went and had a look round and seen their FRS which they did the development on i believe, but never seen it doing anything but 30mph which is a bit dull! It is all pretty much ford stuff!

The 1st one looked wrong, car advert everything, can't explain why, it just did.

Good to see your getting on with sorting t all out. ETA on new engine in and running?

I don't get what you mean, im pretty sure Renault Sport put a fair amount of development and invest a lot of money into the models they release! Then price them very well. Obviously they are still mass produced, but its far from what you are suggesting! I was always under the impression that...

+1, say it wasn't your fault!

I am planning on doing mine soon, have heard powder coating leads to a more durable/harder finish, which I guess is better. But i am interested to hear what people say.

Re: f**king Gutted Make sure you tell insurance it was his fault, not yours in no uncertain terms. He hit you, you were doing nothing wrong!

Well, if its his fault you will get it all back, even if you have to pay your excess to start with.(as long as his insurance/he accepts responsibility) Its quite a lot of damage? How fast was he going and was it in a college car park?
