Ali's Megane R26 progress

A lot ..
I’m only doing it now due to the low compression, may as well upgrade
Ordered up a new sunstrip, not keen how small this is so it’s going a few inches bigger, with the typical red vinyl stripe along the bottom when I can do it!
Going to wet and dry my head lights, remove the yellow tint from the fogs and possibley do them as well. Trying to think of things to keep me occupied while the cars off the road.

Fair enough, I still think the Mk3 lump is the better option though. Id rather have a stock lump running the power i plan to than a forged one, People forget that a forged engine is not just fit and forget.
I know, the 250 engine is still there up for grabs. I'm going towards forging it mainly really, i wanna get the normal engine and just make it a bit stronger

I don't see what issues of negatives people are saying about forged engines?
I used to have a Corsa Vxr that I had forged, I did 50k on a forged lump daily and track use, no issues what so ever. Summer or winter is was perfectly fine.
I sold the car on, I believe it's still going strong.

my friend daily drives a forged VXR, and he hasnt been told of any issues!

car's going to be going to same direction as the clio, suspension upgrade (possible coilovers, price dependant) better braking, cooling and most of all, strip strip strip.
My want for another track focus'd car is here again for the new year

New year more news
Coilovers found, heading down the BC racing route, rear is already stripped out and the rest of the car will be when its back from having the engine done.
Dropping it off this saturday for work to begin, she'll return a stronger forged thing! so excited

Dropped off at ED today, sad times
It just think how awesome it's going to be when you collect it (hurting the pocket aside)
As sad as i am, and as much as my wallet hurts, I'm over the moon things have started and I'm so excited to get it back, just a long wait!
So some BC racing coilovers came up for a sale at a good price ... so you can guess what ive done!
get the car back soon, get them fitted and ill be 75% of the way there on the track project now

I’m very much so looking forward to them being on the car, I’ll have to go and get it corner balanced / set up properly tho, I’ve no idea what I’m doing

Always good news
Fiesta ST Stage 3
Very very excited to say the least

Scrap that.
Picking it up Monday, MOT’ing then she’s free to run in! Happy days.

That was a fun drive home!
So now I have some time i can type upp.
Left this morning about 8:00 AM, got there just past 9, not bad with the Monday morning traffic. Met Andy, sorted everything out and I was on my way, with a very light pack pocket!
70 mile trip back was good, boring motorways and not something I wanted with a newly built engine, but It was alright I guess. 70 or so miles on the engine, past the MOT this afternoon so all is go! Coilovers will be here this week, so I'll get them fitted next week hopefully.
Nice clean engine as well, very happy.
Ill stick up a picture of the spec of the engine, too much to type!
Saw these two down there which caught my eye as well, (I THINK) its a high boost Clio, and a pretty powerful R26, external fuel/swirl pot set up in the back!
All in all, extremely happy with the service of Engine Dynamics, would recommend 100%!

You're more than welcome to!
Its mapped currently, but after run in, it'll be back on the dyno for a tweak / make sure its all fueling correctly and hopefully add a bit more power!
with a new cooler and exhaust, 290+ .. meg250 turbo will be bring me to 300 .. so ill be happy with a 300/300 car
How I missed driving it, having a lot of fun atm getting used to the car again, obviously not acceleration wise due to the run it period.
Managed to fit a new slightly wider sun strip today, looks alright, a lot better inside now!
got a few pics down the local asbo spot, lighting was s**t as per usual.
Ride height is atrocious atm, arch gap for days. Coilovers should be here this week so that'll sort that out.

Great stuff mate, one thing I thought I'd mention.
I've seen a few megs on here with worn fuel pumps, it might be worth considering replacing yours with either a new standard pump or an up rated one, I would hate to see this engine fail because of a weak fuel pump, I think it's number 4 that suffers.
I'm sure Dan who's building the meg powered Clio has replaced the fuel pump.
