Two weeks of 172 Ownership



  Megane 225 F1
Well what can I say. I love this car. So many little things wrong with it like scratches and some miss-firing but despite all those, I still love getting in it and driving it.

How it was when I got it.

1st off I put silver tech bulbs all round, aero wipers, alloy foot rest and an amphasite front diamond.

Then as the brakes were completely shagged, I got myself some Brembo Hc's and Ferodo DS2500's for the front and standard for the rears. This sharpened up the braking drastically although I do get squealing from them from time to time (normal?).

Then came the next modification. As most of you know, my old black clio has white turinis. Well yesterday I swapped them for some amphasite 16 inch turinis. Got them put on today and gave it a quick wash and a bit of demon shine.

Just a few pictures as I have work soon so don't have time to go anywhere nice. (Sorry about the poor pictures. I still haven't figured out how to use my camera in the bright sun yet lol)

Plans:

A service!!!
Got a skoda splitter waiting to be put on.
3/4 plate for the front and standard rear on order from fancyplates.
Got some Ebaich Sportlines I'm hoping to put on asap.
Sort out the knocking on acceleration which I think is down to shagged engine and gearbox mounts.
Braided lines and 5.1 fluid.
Panel filter.
De-dent it and get rid of the scratches.

Towards the end of the year I'm planning on a recessed exhaust and decat with a JMS remap (pops and bangs of course ;) )

Nice, you taking it on track at Combe or are you being a pussy?

I won't be at combe. It's my 21st next Tuesday so next Friday and Saturday I will probably not be sober. And if I was going, I would only take it out if there was time early morning. Away from the t***s.

Good effort.

Needs the swirls sorting too.

Aparently it looks to have been machine polished but not protected so got someone polishing, waxing and sealing it this weekend before Trax. If that doesn't solve the swirling I will get it machine polished again.

Lovely Will.

Thankyou :)

Don't want green on the bullets dude. Fail. And decat won't happen until at least november.

New car was standard when bought so I think it's gone back to standard policy.

Oh in fact, it wont be until January. MOT beginning of January so will do it then.

Car looks really nice mate, good swap on the Turini's, I think you got the better end of the stick there somehow!

You've done the same progression as me, mkph1 1.2 >mk2ph1 2.0 and you've done the mk2ph2 version, bet you love the power!

Oh and I'm appalled at owning a skoda splitter, fitting new wheels and not finding time to fit the damn splitter! You woman.

Cheers mate. Well the guy was after some 15 inch white turinis and I was after 16 anthra or cup. Win for both of us lol. I love the power mate and as for the splitter.....I'm on it today. Yesterday was the first day that it hasn't rained so haven't had chance to ;)
