More mods done to the inlet in prep for the ecumaster black ecu upgrade.
Removed a couple of brackets that wont be used again and tapped the oem map sensor hole to suit an adaptor for a takeoff for the new ecu. Also removed the electronic breather crap, plugged with a bung and...

Blue dci washed a couple of weeks ago.
Its back up to its eyes in s**t again after constant rain after.
On Monday this week it started up as normal, ran for a minute or so then dropped onto what sounded like 3 cylinders and eml on. I turned it off and restarted and it fired up as...
Done a few govy jobs over the last few days.
Sat - Ecumaster black sebimotorsport PnP standalone ecu install on a high powered megane r26.
The car has been recently mapped at 458hp, built engine/large garrett g25 585 turbo on oem ecu, which was pretty crap as boost was too agressive. This...
Updates.
Car tetris to get the Extra out of the garage yesterday.
A quick wash off and a run round the block confirms all seems ok. Will get it booked in for mot this week.
Thanks for reading!!
f**k chatgpt off for starters :LOL:
Voltage should be 13.8+ when running. Id verify with test meter.
Needs scanning with clip to see whats stored. Might be pedal, tb or wiring at a guess.
As above racesport/ast springs. Get them blasted and powdercoated if not too bad.
Alloy spigots are the way forward, ive had a few sets off aliexpress. No need to loctite grease them up.
Place that done it has done a few recaros for me over the years. Price has never gone up since i got the last one done 8 years ago, its mad. Always do a decent job too.
Suprisingly decent. The weight is same or slightly heavier than the oem weighted gearknob which is good, gives a good shift.
Updates.
Give the r26 a clean last Sunday. Weather was a bit fcuking fresh but needed doing badly after Saturdays blast out/pebbledashed by the gritter so was covered in salt. Also with the weeks of rain the car was covered in a black residue and black lines all over the panels.
I have also...
Usually end up twanging my fingers on them with waterpump pliers :LOL: I need another set as i broke 3 cheapos on the bounce. My mate rates the snap on ones as reliable at howfuckingmuch to buy.
Cheap enough that. From experience, the flexi hose clamp pliers wont last long. Had a few break with barely any use.
About the same price on amazon iirc.
Edit - £15 on ebay

The shock allen key top rounds off on all shocks. Best off giving it a couple of ugga duggas with the gun to tighten from experience.
My b14 have 2x locking rings for the rideheight adjustment. Are you undoing the bottom one first? They will go tight if preloading the spring.
I think realistically no twocker will get a ph2 172/182 clio fired up without the key. Ive never seen an immob bypass or delete for ph2, and any trick software will be expensive/rare to find. Sometimes struggle to get them started with the key :LOL:
Disklok is a great visual deterrent though...
Any powdercoat in the tapered hole the studs go in? That can cause the studs to loosen off.
You could go a bit tighter on bolts than 105nm, 110nm wont hurt anything. M12 x 1.5 10.9 bolt will do 125nm safely dry torque.
On the other hand, they can back off with track use. My megane r26 wheel...
You can run with anti rattle shims or without..i bin them for track use so no risk of pads nipping / binding. Make sure the pads have clearance.
Defo need bumpstops for the secondary damping, as they ride the bumpstops quite often.
