jamesy's Megane 225 Inferno progress thread.

[imprezaworks]

Yeah does look good. Will add it on the list to try

 

[Ricardos]

Finally got my omp wheel fitted.
Cruise controls to wired in but not in a hurry for them as don't use them too often.
Refused to pay £20 for an omp push button horn so wired in a Richbrook stop/start button I had laying around.

Bought the wheel second hand from @Mbeau for a great price and spent a few hours cleaning and brushing it up. Came up really well i think. To be honest for £50 can't complain.

I make, or made those carbon brackets with 6 buttons utilising the top 2 as a horn.

Got it off a member on here. Don't think he knew what the buttons were for.

Haven't wire the c/c in yet lol...

Didn't want to pay omps price for the centre horn so just made my own

That looks really smart in those photos, great looking car :up:

Thanks mate.

It does buff up well. I keep thinking about tweaking a few things but then it gets a good polish and I think nah, I'll leave it.

Only subtle things like black mirror covers or black diamonds. Maybe an r26 spoiler..

 

[magic354]

Looking good mate

 

[jamesycc]

More power added today... Stickerz is wicked.

 

[jamesycc]

On a slight negative due to a busy Xmas the car hasn't been started for 12 days and has a flat battery.

Cue halfords visit to get a charger.

 

[dann2707]

That sticker is laaaaame. Car looks great though.

That sticker is laaaaame. Car looks great though.

I ordered one for the rear window but they sent the wrong one so rather than bin it thought I'd stick somewhere.

 

[imprezaworks]

For the sticker

 

[jamesycc]

What 'evs...

 

[jamesycc]

Clutch, Dmf and slave fitted today.

Not by me I hasten to add...

Needs a new gear selector though, that's the next job.

 

[jamesycc]

Forgot to add new gearbox mount too.

Bored out the nylon bush on the gear selector as it was swelling badly when warm making the stick sticky.

 

[jamesycc]

Latest change is finally getting some r26 alloys on the car and losing the marmite wheels.

Been Refurbed and fitted with some shiny new wheel bolts.

Love how looks
now.

 

[182_steve]

Now that looks very smart indeedy!!

 

[jamesycc]

Thanks mate.

Had to wait a while to justify them to the bank manager.. ?

I agreed once the old tyres were knackered I'd source some alloys with tyres and kill two birds n all that.

Paid £250 with four month old tyres on, ps3 and rainsport 3's. Bargain.

Refurbed them myself over the course of ten days.

Love new wheels, they make or break or car looks wise.

 

[Djw John]

Big improvement there mate

 

[jamesycc]

Big improvement there mate

Cheers. Couldn't agree more?

 

[182_steve]

Oh wow that sounds like you've done really well there! Makes sense waiting for the tyres to need replacing!

 

[jamesycc]

Yep still had to explain the economics to the wife..

We car people know its a bargain, wife thinks it's just money that can't be spent on house stuff... ?

Thanks mate.

There's loads of alerts I don't get or miss too.

Your LY is looking super sexy too.

Thanks buddy.

Any more plans for it or just drive it and enjoy.

 

[RMDavis]

Looks awesome with those wheels bud! ?

 

[jamesycc]

Thanks buddy.

Just drive, maintain and enjoy.

Did think about an r26r spoiler but like the subtle look now.

 

[jamesycc]

Got an mot yesterday.

Got a pass.

Advised to replace discs and need a passenger cv boot.

Also noticed the centre exhaust hanger is knacked so will sort that too.

 

[jamesycc]

Au revoir Megane.

Off she goes, back home to France..

 

[Darren61]

Did France not get a huge amount of RenaultSports? Seems to be a fair few heading across the channel recently

 

[jamesycc]

Apparently not.

Plus when they are exported they are usually marked up heavily according to the 2 french men I was talking to.

Seems they still save some money with the travelling over to get them.

 

[_Tom]

Fair play. Must be an experience driving on the wrong side for them and towing.

What's next? You're local aren't you? (Bristol).

Yeah it must be tiring, extra concentration.

208 gti next.

Something smaller and that my wife will drive.

Unmodified. In fact she picked it as it has sat nav and a panoramic roof. I was just happy to keep something sporty as the second car tbh.

Yeah I'm in brizzle.

 

[_Tom]

Nice! I'm surprised I'd never seen it about.
