Ive fired him a message and hes going to have a look in his stock. Be good if they work and nice bolt on solution. If not im thinking about getting a beam and modifying.

Thats the one, are they trw calipers? I need a knackered one for mockup purposes. Could be an option, only issue would be setting the toe/camber once welded. It would be like years ago getting oxy acetylene on a r5gtt beam and bar on the stub to add camber or toe🤣 To be fair, i could have the...

Coolant drops when thermostat opens after system fill. It will usually take a couple of runs up to temp to find its level. As for the rest of the repairs appearing, sounds normal for a 25 year old clio.

R26 is fixed stub axle and non removable so not possible. Meg 250 and 197 are removable, but both have the incorrect bolt spacing, so wont work on the current beam without elongating holes, its all a bit pikey. Ive got both ph1, ph2 and 225 ph2 brackets. Ive tried all ph2 and no go sadly, as...

Quick one Rear brake upgrade has been on the menu for a while, the kanfoo really needs better pads on the rear but nothing available for the stock kangoo calipers as expected. A bit of research done beforehand and the bearing is 30mm id on kangoo rear. This is identical to megane r26 rear...

Loads of 🥧🔑 in the area at the moment. Seem to be forcing their way onto any field etc, the f*****s took over the local football field this week leaving a right mess behind

Interesting cheers mate, ill have a look into it. Ill stick a post up about therears on my thread. Ive been trying to mock something up, but i feel it will soon excede my backyard engineering skills🤣

Bit off topic but just had a sniff round for meg ds1.11 rears and about £230 a set if you can get them. Kam racing says Ferodo are one of the most popular choices for the Renault Megane RS225 and R26. The DS2500 work as a great all-rounder for both fast road and light track use. The choice of...

Prob not worth the extra money. I only went for ds2500 rears due to doing in a stock set of rear pads to metal in half a day. Ive had 2 days out of ds2500 and still 3/4 left.

I run ds1.11 front/2500 rear, no issues. Its a tried and tested combo on megane anyway. I was going to run 1.11 rear but they werent available. Tbf i only run 2500 rear as the meganes wear the stock rears out fast as f**k.

Pbs are pretty dogshit from experience. As i said before, get some ds1.11 in there. Expensive, but last for ages and actually work great from cold unlike most performance pads, so road friendly.

Ive burned the paint off the backing plates on pads a few times with track use. I think it depends on how hard/much heat you get into the brakes whether they are worth fitting.

Any difference to pedal feel with the shims fitted? Also considered a set as have melted dust seals too.

Just change the boots. Easy job, cv's knock off. The rust on the bolts is pretty normal for an old clio, gun them off

Probably still put it on regardless of spacer with 100cel. Suprised nowt has come up with rstuner, clip would show

Must be one of the highest mileage 200t out there. Clutch pack has done well!

Post cat lambda. Does it have a decat on it.

I had same issues as you with it overspilling pas fluid when hot on track, after reducing the level no furthur issues.

You wont notice any difference between oem and the ragnotti one, they look spot on.

Drop the level to minimum on pas fluid, and prob wont have any issues.

Mtc hoses are ok. Run them on my trophy.

If you change the barrel, swap the new key blade into the original key, no coding required. Door locks and fuel cap will need changing unless you have 2 separate keys.

Aye the wire looks ok tbh, oldskool rally look. Have you tried the stalk? Ill give it a go when i have some spare time.

If all else fails, oldskool flexi wire😁 https://ebay.io/m/NyTydQ

Oem megane 2 rs radiator and thermostat. Works good, always around 84/85deg on the street. On its brief run around Anglesey on hybrid turbo a few years back it was around 87deg. If anything it runs a bit cooler on the new turbo setup Its normally always non oem rads that cause issues with...

Small update Following on with the connects2 saga on the kangoo, i tried the canbus version in the r26 and it worked in a fashion albeit wrong patch lead so the controls responded but not correctly. I spotted a badly listed 2nd hand connects2 for £7 delivered on ebay which matched up part...

Ps5 will withstand a bit of track use but not ideal as a road tyre. They were OK at Spa on my megane for a half day but long circuit, on a short circuit prob wont last long. Its a tough one, ps5 be best for cold and wet days, but prob want a better compound for dry track

True. Im used to the drama on full throttle now, feels quite normal🤣 Im getting the bits sorted to fit fuel system soon. 500hp next goal.

Updates Had the occasional bit of spark blow on high boost so fitted a new set of plugs. No stranger to this on turbo cars but you start with the basics before adding coil dwell time. The set i removed had been in since i built the engine so gaps werent as tight as they needed to be so the...

Updates Croft booked for 2 weeks time, so best get the r26 prepped. It didnt really need anything doing apart from brake fluid and pads changing, but give it the works. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail etc.. First job, rear wheel bearing on n/s. This will be the third one ive fitted as they...
