Nice. What's 'safe' with these engines when mapped?
The thought had crossed my mind mate, but I can't prove it either way.Got to be mapped, surely?
Good figures and a really good base to start with though.
Dan whis building the meg powered Clio is doing something with his fuel system, might be worth tagging him into this.@Danith looked into this when getting his mapped
Good timing, just spotted this haha.Dan whis building the meg powered Clio is doing something with his fuel system, might be worth tagging him into this.
Theories are all over the place. Cylinder 1 is usually the failure on ringlands due to fuel starvation. Suggestions are tired pumps and/or because the megane rail os a dead head so folk are using the ph1 clio return rail with a line back to the pumpDan whis building the meg powered Clio is doing something with his fuel system, might be worth tagging him into this.
Yes mate it's cracking car and in hindsight I wish I bought one ages ago!You liking the Megane, or is it ok?
Rob, you're more than welcome to test drive mine. It's not a 220 Trophy but a mapped pre facelift with 250ft/lbs torque. At least it will give you an idea of the paddles and Tiptronic option.Yes mate it's cracking car and in hindsight I wish I bought one ages ago!
I keep looking at the Clio 220 EDC Trophy and will be definitely test driving one next year to see whether the auto box is a deal breaker...

Thanks mate! I know what I'll be doing this week! [emoji23]Door pocket is an easy fix, drill a hole in the bottom of it. [emoji106]
If you're going to sell next year I'd go for a stage 1 map, 260ish bhp and put a new standard fuel pump in. Don't risk f**king it up by chasing 300/300. 260 felt fine to me.

It's few and far between the dealers having one physically in, then there's the test drive.Cheers Rich,
Once Christmas and new year is out of the way I may well take you up on that offer. I'm not sure if my local Renault dealer has one to test drive.
For me the automatic gearbox/paddles etc is the deal breaker. The rest of the car is spot on!
To be fair if it's anything like my Logitech steering wheel on Project Cars 2 it will be a winner!

Mate that's really good of you, thank you.It's few and far between the dealers having one physically in, then there's the test drive.
I'm more than happy to come over and you spend a few hours familiarising yourself with the gearbox and what it has to offer, to go through the different modes between Auto, Sport, paddles, tiptronic. The gear changes are pretty much quick and seamless.
No problem mate, fire away when you're free :up:Mate that's really good of you, thank you.
I will drop you a message via Facebook next year to arrange a time and a date.

Result! Let's hope it has the RS Monitor, it's a handy piece of kit to have..... Enjoy, and keep me posted if you'd like to know anything. I'll do my best! :smile:I phoned my local 'Martins' Renault dealer and they do have a 220 Trophy demonstrator, so I've got a demo/roadtest booked for 3pm on the 30th of December!
I will keep you posted mate. :up:
I'm going to take the 220 Trophy for another test drive, chat things through with the salesman and if it all works out will hopefully be looking to place an order in February!
Plenty of time for it to get built, ready for a day on track at CSF18! :grinning:
I'm afraid not mate!no more Meg?
Thats brilliant news Rob, i look forward to seeing it and maybe book a trackday somewhere before CS18.I'm going to take the 220 Trophy for another test drive, chat things through with the salesman and if it all works out will hopefully be looking to place an order in February!

It's nothing personal, the Megane has been great. I just fancy something new!
The urge to modify the Megane just isn't there. I think all the problems I had with my Impreza has really put me off throwing thousands at a car that may or may not let go when you least expect it!
Owning something brand new really appeals to me at the moment. Something that's good to go with a warranty, and once that's run out I can just do some small modifications (bolt ons and mapping) without breaking the bank or the car!

I can appreciate that.
I change my mind weekly wether to get an r26/cupra etc or just blow the budget and get something like an fiesta st 2013 ish. Then sensible money head gets involved and says do i need a 10k lol.
Let's hope time doesn't drag on too much! Im having the same wait for the spoiler, ordered November and finally getting my mitts on it next week!
Tis indeed! Next Saturday for the fitting then back off for painting.Is that the Cup Racer replica?
If so I look forward to seeing that all fitted up!
