Inferno Orange 225 Cup

[Scattle]

Hi, I haven't put up a progress thread yet on my Megane.
I've owned it for almost 18 months now and came from a Clio 172 Cup.
Mostly been maintenance so far rather than modifications but they will come in due course!
The car is a Phase 1 225 Cup.

Since i've owned it I have had the Cambelt/Aux belt & Waterpump done, Clutch & Flywheel, Hub Bearings done by Mark Black, Pads & Discs all round, NS Driveshaft, OEM Injectors, Exhaust Mounts and a Clock Spring, so it has been a case of getting it upto scratch first!

I've done a few little bits too it such as;
Backbox Chop
Pipercross Panel Filter
Forge Boost Hoses.

Next on the list is a stage 1 Remap, wheel refurb and a R26R Spoiler.

I cleaned the car on my day off yesterday and here are a few photos.

Thanks for looking.

Thankyou mate, after remap they map to about 260/265 on Stage 1.

Looks a lovely example.

Thanks mate, loved your one too.

Cheers!

Thanks Chief, yeah overall I do prefer it too the Clio for me it handles better, goes better and sounds better, but I miss the Clio for things like MPG I use to get 37+ out the clio whereas I'm averaging 28 in the Megane.
Clio was much cheaper maintenece than the Megane and less things went wrong, for example Clutch & Flywheel on a Megane you're looking at 1k+.

Some specialists like Mark black on megane forum will do it for around £700
But most normal garages/Renault specialists are around 1k, DMF is like £400 from Renault on it's own!
I thought about solid flywheel but apparently the engine light is constantly on with one fitted?

 

[Chi]

I'll let you know about light when I pick it up

Only on Euro 5 cars (PH-2 onwards), when you accelerate hard and lift off.

But, the EML light can be mapped out now

and 260-265 on stage one lucky if you get 250.
