well the megane bay is considerably bigger than the 5 so i may be lucky and not have any clearance issues. supose theres only 1 way i will find out lol. even if it does need tilting slightly i cant see it being much of a problem as i have the 2 hanging mounts and the "dogbone" mount at the back...

brilliant! thanks for the information mate. ill be running standalone anyway so i supose i could opt for the same solution as you and put a trigger wheel on the crank pulley. you mentioned earlier about tilting the engine forward a little. was this due to space issues in the 5 or something else?

well when i compared the VW and the renault boxes next to each other the input shaft of the VW box was nowhere near as "far out" as the renault one. i.e when you looked at them in the bellhousing the renault one was long and the VW one was short. the spacing i was on about is the "flywheel...

can i ask how you over came the issues with the gearbox fitment? the ones i have seen so far looking at a seat leon cupra (6speed) box are: flywheel needs to be spaced out a couple of inches to come close to the flywheel the sensor that sits atop the JC5 the starter motor position id love to...

i billieve scoff has a custom bellhousing to get the VAG box to work...

but your an older fart :P your insurance must be pennies :P

needs must mate :( its rediculous but hopefully something will be done about it soon. not that it bothers me anymore because im getting older lol

why does it bother you how much more fun a 1.4 is compared to a 1.2? by fun you mean drive it like a loon and crash it which completley validates the point that your insurance is a fortune. a car is a car, be greatfull you can consider having one and driving one wether its a 1.2 or a 1*2 it...

ive seen this about, very nice :)

yes so if he doesent match the inlets, simply upping the boost slightly will have the same effect

cheers jackjack thats very helpfull. didnt think of looking to actually buying clio ones lol

theyre good to go then iirc. have you got any idea about the R19 wishbones? im hoping most of them have the same diameter bushes but being a renault im not holding out hope. it will be a mix and match for sure tho lol

if hes clever he will map it to the maximum boost it can handle then "de-tune" it so hes running within a safe limit. if not them my comment was a foolish sugestion ;)

if hes doing it properly he will have an ecu which is mapped to beyond the boost he will be running day in day out so he can put it up .5 of a psi and not damage anything. but as my comment was slightly sarcastic which seems to have been missed by you its irrelevant now. the point i was trying...

does anyone know the diameter of the clio ARB? i need to know if the polybushes clios use will do the job on my mk 1 megane same question for the wishbone bushes, anyone know what size the clio ones are? cheers

so you will be wringing its neck for the first 1000 miles?

the amount will be negligable tho if hes doing the turbo thing properly? more gains to be had by insuring better cooling of the charge air and other cheaper mods surley?

theres more to it than that... you need to think about what running in proccess your going to use. some say to do lots of WOT blips to bed the rings in others say to be as gentle as possible. its not just a case of slapping a limiter on it unfortunatley

just whack the boost up .5 of a psi and youl gain the same ammount as a NA would. waste of money imo

untill the back end of your car steps out because the brake balance is all to ****. by all means crack on, but you have been warned by people :) theres a video on here somewhere of someone driving on track with the abs removed. needless to say it would have been written off if he was on road

awaits "ive crashed my car" thread ^

no it doesent, but it looks awfull atm. i used the spray on stuff on the cylinder head and the brush on stuff for the block, the cylinder head doesent look too bad the block has bits of silver on it and dirt and generally looks pants. i had only done 800 miles too. will get some pics for you...

in a way that it looks great when you apply it and dry it but then looks cack once the engines been running for any length of time

the halfords brush on stuff is shite btw ;)

sounds like scoffs strip car

NDO is a 6 speed off a megane 225... so that would fit into the category mick is talkign about. gunas and other renaults have them too, been looking into it. so mick your saying renault dont actually make a good gearbox lol?

do you have any more details of that mocal kit mate? car looks cracking too :) love a nice tidy bay!

:) blue is the best colour ;) well done with your photography too getting good now

lol and theres me thought we could bury the hatchet because wed both grown up a bit. clearly your one to hold a grudge. supose you support cardiff because your car is blue lol!

a football fan then. from what ive seen with fans worshiping a bunch of overpaid buffoons because they happen to be able to control a ball with their feet, yes the majority are retards. this muppet is clearly the king. and i dont even hate football, i enjoy watching a bit of skill. but...
