So i finally decided to post a thread of my upcoming project on my 2010. Megane 250 Cup in yellow I have it for a little over 6 months now and was enyoing every second of it, even over the winter For now only mods to the car are: K&N panel filter OZ Ultraleggera 18x8 Et35 painted by me in Anthracite Pearl gray (but will be redoing it ti gloss black) Painted the logos and letters on back(not on picture) Mods in process: Bought Bilstein B14(next week will arrive) GT Performance decat (next week will arrive) Ordered also Powerflex (handling pack) Federal RS-R in 225/40/18 and will be adjusting chamber and castor after fitting coilovers Wraping the roof and arches in glossy black lile trophy-R but without rear spoiler Mods in plans: Intercooler Going to remap for stage 2 Roll cage in back 6-point harnesses Enyoing the car over summer and then hopefully going for forged engine over winter when my girlfriend finally buy car for herself
still waiting for parts to come, till then my friend made me in photoshop look of the car how it will be when we finish everything what do you think guys?
Not sure why no one has commented but your Megane looks great and the plans sound perfect. Like the photoshop too.
thanks men i want something new and fresh and have been long time experimenting with design and i think that this will be top notch, the standard just too silly high
Do you have maybr adjustable top mounts? And maybe some hints for optimal high? My wheels are ET35 and Federals 225 wide
Tomorrow are coilovers and downpipe on the car, we have problems with stuck bolts between exhaust and cat, upper ones where the turbo is, was easy to unscrew but lower ones are just stuck. We will cut them if they want get loose till morning, we spray them with wd and some other can for rusted bolts, some detail pictures till then:
Upper ones where not that stuck, it was harder to loose them but dont know how will unscrew the third one, that lower ones will be cut off, but cannot get with saw between cat and rear engine insulation
we managed to get them out only with little air cutter after 3 hours of work under car, we only had it around 40cm above the ground, so that was another problem to get in to the place around flexpipe and cat, few more pictures i just dont know why my vipers dont work know, and still had to lower the car a little bit more
yesterday i lower the car on all wheels, so around 1cm of thread has left, and rear is still rather high, i saw here on forum that other with bilstein b14 get much more lowering. I am wondering if that will still settle in few days or? here are the pictures:
Yes, pretty easy with a lot help from friend, we just had problems with stuck bolts between cat and flex pipe, it took us almost 4hours cutting it of.
I know, the first part of post is for coilovers that it was pretty easy job and the second part is for cat what was making us problem Sry for poor english
4hrs to remove a bolt! Ouch! Perseverance pays off my friend! I have some coilovers coming and want to fit myself. If its pretty straight forward I'll give it a go
I guess if you have the right equipment, anything can be easy. Wish i had the tools and some where to do such things
So to cleard it up, it was pretty easy job for coilovers and it would took us only 2-3 hours if we were installing just them
Yesterday i started with wheel refurbishment and parked the car in the garage on the stand. Of course i drive VW when renault is waiting More pictures coming today when i finished them with clearcoat, this is just pictures of clean wheels and with old anthracite color
Wheels painted, headlights sucessful opened up and seald back again with heat gun and orginal seal will be post up pictures in new thread step by step with pictures for everyone to have it
Today me and mine friend manage to finish one roof side and tommorow will be wraping the other one and roof itself.
I suddenly post with my old account pictures in last post, but nevermind Thanks man, still thiking of doing some kind of corner to line up roof side and rear, will try because i have a lot of vinyl left
Yes on this picture from side looks also perfect to me too, but rear is little higger on one side (0.5cm) and also around 1cm higher than front and i dont have anymore thread to lower it at rear but on the front there is left around 1.5cm. I dont know if this is because i take everything out?
Yesterday we have really good drive across Kalnik mountain in croatia and conditions were perfect finally to try bilstein on a lot of fast connected corners and some really hard breaki g to 180 corners and i am impressed. Just feeling that my back end is little too easy and when i moved battery in the back and put roll cage in that it will be great, also federal rsr tyres are much better for hard cornering than my last michelin ps3
Thats a fantastic looking car and great project Well done and don't worry about your English, only the idiots will complain
So yesterday my turbo give up :/ I had some turbo problems, and some smoke but nothing major and i also went to renault service and they told me that i can drive, but will have to change my turbo soon. We have trackday coming tommorow and i thought that i would drive like that and after that would change turbo and everything needed but now car is parked. We had rely good and fast drive yesterday, around 50km with one stop and when we come back to the city we stop at gas station to fill it up and immidiately when i turn on the car i noticed more smoke, i drive like 500m and there was so much of it that i parked the car. I try to power it on and there was on idle a lot of white smoke so will see now if this is just turbo, i hope so
That's unfortunate, the turbo noisy before going? From what you've said a new turbo and an oil/filter change will sort it out. Upgrade time???
I have k&n filter, and i heard blow off little more and thats it, dont know yet till get to garage on monday Well, potentional upgrade, but will see
so after one month without a car, finally bought new turbo and going for a stage2 remap in week or two Here is short clip from last ride:
over winter nothing major was happening, did remap only with gt performance 70mm downpipe, stock rear silencer and stock intercooler - 298hp. plans are wagner intercooler in a month, custom full 70mm exhaust and going once again to remap. my good friend made me custom roll cage and also if anyone would be interested in something like that, we can build it
