Good quick work Tim, glad I could be of help with parts! :)
Also, we forgot to give you those tyres. If you still want them give me shout and I'll leave them out for you to collect.

Nick172Cup’s Megane 225 Build/Blog
So time had eventually come to move up (or down in some peoples eyes) to Megane ownership. After the last 4-5 years of owning many Clios I was after something a little bigger/refined/powerful, and after a half arsed search I came across Dan@SJM Automotives...
Yeah it was a bit of a shame it didn't make the figures I'd hoped for, I'll be ordering a few parts in the week to hopefully rectify the issue and then get it rolling roaded again to see how it is!
Still got the M3, but she's SORN/stored away now for a couple of years. Just so happens that I'm now picking up a new car tomorrow, so may pop down.
And it's not a blue 172 Cup, even though up til yesterday I owned 3 of the damn things. Lol
Iain C - Never be content with just one clio! Glad the Billies are holding up well!
Yeah still here guys, mainly just to update this thread. Been ridiculously busy with everything recently to be spending real time on cars.
I'll be about next year for some car stuff hopefully!

So eventually got some wheels sorted for the car! Thanks to Chip and @Budgie who combined sorting my out with a good set of Oz F1's and a full set of Michelin PE2's with over 5mm of tread on them, looks and feels a million times better now!
Also went to the Tempest Rally near Aldershot...
Debatable.
No doubting they're a great shock, but not £800+ good enough.
The only good thing about your refurb from others is the Twingo R1 dust covers/scrapers, really not a lot to write home about given they won't be used for rallying. Having them all pretty powdercoated with new stickers...
@Adeyspec -
Yeah that was the early one, however I had a revised set also which I should still have pictures for I believe?
@bozothenutter -
The torque stays similar to standard length if a tad more up to 3.5k, then it makes the more torque I was saying about from then on and holds it...
Yeah I had 50mm Jenvey ITB extensions fitted to mine, they may need tapering to your inlet currently depending on what design your RS2 is.
You'll have to remove the aircon, slam panel with an aerocatched bonnet, cup rad with a slimline rad fitted to it to get the extra 50mm extensions connected...
So, a bit of an update. Pretty much driven/ragged this round for months and the thing is still going strong, so on my day off I thought I'd give it a little tlc...
Changed the aux belt, oil and filter plus fitted in the standard airbox with a new air filter. So is now mouse quiet and good...
Reverse sensor on the gearbox has gone, same with my cup. Bit fiddly to do and you'll loose some gearbox oil when changing it, so you'll need to get some to top it up once done.
Personally I haven't bother fixing mine, not an mot failure so saves me a job. Lol
Lol Bit rich from you! So pipe down idiot.
B00mer - I probably was a tad harsh when writing that this morning, I guess being honest in the adverts a good thing for any prospective buyer. Reading the whole 'having to rev the engine for 10-20 seconds on start up' would put me off, all the work...
Ricardinho - Nah you'll be fine, the first year Failsport shat themselves by flashing lights for us to all realise it was others wanting to get to the mulsanne! So we were all freaking each other out! Lol
Tim - Yeah I think Dave, Tom and Jon went there and got some good videos. Hopefully...
