I know it's not a Clio sport, but thought someone might have half an idea.
Sister's 1.5dci 106bhp Mk3 Clio GT is regularly coming up with 'Check Injection' and goes into limp mode, mainly when driven hard at 3.5k+ revs.
Plugged it in and only fault code is - P2263. 'Turbocharger Boost System...
Looking to get myself back into a 182, which will be heavily track orientated.
My old 182 had the cup suspension with 60mm spacing, and I’m just wondering if I should try and go for this again or does it make virtually no difference in the real world?
The shocks and springs would be replaced...
Can't wait to see the Calibre's on it, they've always been a good cheap option - I've always thought they look fairly similar to OZ Ultraleggera's!
Get some pictures up when they're all fitted, looking forward to see how they compare on looks to the TD's
Don't fancy ruining the Megane as a daily, and it's just so much more expensive than a Clio on everything if I do decide to track it - £120 vs £50 per tyre, £300 per disk brake vs £40, Fuel, etc
I'm just looking at options, and I may need to look at a van as a daily as I'm going self employed...
Starting to miss my old 182, and I'm half tempted to sell my 250 and to come back to a Clio and get myself a daily as well.
In terms of performance how does a 172 Cup compare to a 182? I mean I know the differences, but how does say a Cup backed 60mm 182 compare to the 54mm of the 172? Does...
It's got Bluetooth but not sure about the RS Monitor, in all honesty I didn't realise they even had them in 200's
He's not really a boy racer so I can't see lack of 0-60's and G's being a deal breaker
In fact it looks pretty pointless tbh, not like my 250 where you can change throttle maps etc
Cheers all! Yeh Turini's really suit them, and silly rare unless you want to spend £1200+ for them
You can have my old Steev's (for a small fee obviously), which actually don't look that bad since I had them refurbed....
Completely forgot that I had a thread on here, most of it's over on the Megane Forum but I'll do a quick and brief update :
Bought and fitted a KTR Induction Kit
Bought and fitted a Forge Recirc Valve
Fitted my H&R Springs
Fitted my Airtec Intercooler
Fitted Black Badges and Exhaust Surround...
My mates just bought it and it's got a Cliosport.net sticker on the back - just wondering if anyone knows who owned it or if they had a progress thread?
OU10 XKZ
He's done well as I don't think there's anything spec wise it doesn't have - Recaros, Keyless, Cup Suspension, Climate, Etc
Am I right in thinking these are a Focus ST chassis, or very similar?
If so, can't say I've heard of them being a great chassis, could be wrong though...
@RyG came to have a look at it this morning, unfortunately he wasn't happy with a car.
As per the advert I did say it is a 12 year old car with the relevant stone chips and odd marks, unfortunately there was more than Ryan expected, and understandingly he wasn't willing to pay the price...
What do people think of these?
They're currently leading as my favourite, but can't help but think at certain angles they just don't look right - possibly too aggressive looking for a relatively curvy car?
I'm pretty much decided, next wheel will be a very dark anthracite, not quite as dark as black!
Leaning towards Team Dynamic 1.2's, but still looking at others - anybody got any suggestions on what could look good?

Wicked update Mark, just about covered everything I think!
Shame to see the Bilsteins rears have gone, you haven't had them that long have you?
Regarding Neo Chrome Nuts on white wheels, I fitted some to my mates car last year, only photo I've got but may help you decide
Thanks all! I've decided the Cup 18's aren't for me, so going to look into alternatives!
That looks absolutely lovely, shame those OZ's are £1500 lol
Would love to put it on Coilovers, but I'm holding off for now and just going to fit my H&R Springs, apparently it'll drop the cup chassis a...
Originals are 19" (which in fact are optional extra), the Black ones are 18" (and the standard ones fitted)
I was hoping to change to 18's for the cheaper tyres, and supposedly if you read the numerous reviews online the 18's are much preferred for handling and ride comfort!
Plan was to use...
Tried my 18" Cup wheels tonight but not too sure I like them

Can't decide if its the actual wheel I don't like or the colour...I don't think the massive arch gap helps either lol!
Think it's mainly the wheel style in all...
And this post takes us up to today...and it's been a good couple of days - I've now got the following ready to fit

I then spent an evening and the whole next day detailing it, wanted to get on top of it as soon as I got it as it makes it so much easier there after, especially with Winter coming up!
Washed and Dried first, followed by a full Clay to decontaminate the paint work. This left me a nice smooth...
Did what I think everyone does as a first job...Remove the Megane badge! Also got my plates on - Went slightly smaller on the front as I ran one on the Clio and just prefer it slightly!

Copied over from the Megane Forum
Had my Megane 250 just over a couple of weeks now and thought it would be time to start a thread for it!
Bought it off a lad on this very forum, travelled all the way down London to get it and drove it back
Previous car was a Clio 182, which I bought...
Cheers buddy, Hopefully it'll go soon, going to get it up for sale tonight all being well.
Price wise I haven't decided yet - all depends what wheels and spares go with it, so I'll have a bit of a serious think later!
Thanks all, really don't want to get rid of it. The 'raw' appeal is what...
