Nice one, I was looking at forge / air tec ones but I'll check this one out!
I'm after as much as I can reliably really, so 280/289 sounds pretty reasonable to be honest

I do somrwhere, I'll try up load them
Having 3" turbo back would help with power increase, larger bore = better flow so!

Thats my thinking, but not sure if I would see a benefit as from what I've read these engines bend rods at over 300/300.
Yeah man, get some vids up
persuade me haha!
Bit wore torn .. But what can you ask for ..
One piece left of the puzzle and I'm ready for mapping!

A few people were slating RST recently on FB. EFI always seem to have good reviews.
That's interesting, what were the complaints about as I don't have facebook. Engine dynamics are great from what i've heard/read, good results on the 197s they've remapped

It was on the MeganeRS page iirc, something about generic maps or something.

I'd personally allways use efi and recommend to others.

Yes I have been watching those posts a fair bit and know a few dudes who arent their number one fans. Never had any dealings myself, just seems to be a bit of handbags frkm fanboys and mappers alike regarding each others maps.

Gus does have a huge point .. And a very valid one
I've had lots of recommendations for EFI and ED .. Engine dynamics is close to being chosen, espcially seeing their turbo'd clios coming out and the other ones they're mapped up etc. And they're more local to me than efi or rs tuning

Intercooler, 630cc injectors and an rs240 scorpion down pipe .. Now to get it all fitted!
So, intercoolers on .. Cars clean on this lovley day! .. Went and saw Matt for a few hours to help him out with a few bits and pops so it's been pretty productive
Old / new cooler look the same size but the newer one is slightly deeper .. Turbo sounds like it's getting more air due to a higher pitched whistle at high revs (?)

Car is now booked in for mapping and Engine Dynamics at the end of the month, getting them to sort my decat and injectors out for me so saves me some hassle!
hoping for a decent run tbh

270-280 and I'll be happy, any more will be great!
Looking at refreshing the suspension as well as getting some cook sport springs, and then polybushing as much as I can .. Exciting stuff

Good work. Those Grams seem to be a good shout now too. I went and saw Lee Boardman a couple of weeks ago and his sit nicely.
I've heard of them, would they be worth it over the cook sports?

Think they're the same spring to be fair. Hopefully just revised to stop them snapping all the time
Ill have a look into them, nice one!

The gramms springs the same as the cooksports?
So today was mapping day, went all good!
Had a leaking recirc valve that we blanked off and also a new boost solinoid put on .. Gotta sort a 3" exhaust, bigger front mount and a proper induction kit set up and I'll have a fair few more ponies to play with ..
But currently as it is it's amazingly quick, didn't expect it, drinking fuel like anyone's business haha

He's worth the trip.
So I've heard, flicking through some pics and he's gotten gearboxes out in 30 minutes ..its crazy.
Cars booked in for tuesday .. being picked up tomorrow night loaded onto a trailer, and then towed down saturday and left there for the week!
cruising round in a 1.4 fiesta is hard to get used too after turbo!

The R26r and smf makes a good difference!
Thoughts on the mods you're thinking of getting are:
Get a Forge or ProAlloy intercooler.
ITG induction kit is expensive but worth it imo.
Ktec 3" exhaust is a very nice system, loud when you want it to be but not much louder than standard for normal driving.

Cheers tim! I'm kinda excited to see what its like tbh
Been looking at ProAlloy as well, stuck on choice for cooler, ITG is on the list as well as the ktec 3" .. should make some good power after that
Cars been dropped off at the Midlands now, long old week until i pick it back up again!
Also found a megane i'd like to base mine on, looks proper cool!

Not much cracking .. Marks waiting for the flywheel to arrive and then it's ready for me to collect Saturday, must say 2 weeks with no megane has been crappy haha

Looks nice mate and great colour choice,im still considering getting one of these in the future.Save a few grand then sell the cup.
Thanks! Yeah does look good in silver, espcially in the sun
was a good upgrade from my 182 to be honest, well worth the cash spent
Took another trip to see Mr. Black today .. This time for timing belt, aux and water pump, done in roughly 2 hours which i was amazed about!
Last things left to do is a steering arm bushing (?) and a steering arm iirc .. and then its onto tracking it and having a lot of fun!
