  1. This pipe decided it was to brittle and snapped so this is the new part 316062F5-2652-4D15-9688-E601518E3BF3.jpeg
     
  2. Few pics with the cage while I got it outside 9BD9739E-A369-40F4-A2DA-E97B673CAF11.jpeg E79A6B9A-06F1-4D19-B787-2CFE0382B047.jpeg A9FD0C72-B3CF-4B57-84B6-1884FE5C779E.jpeg
     
  3. Then I decided to get a R26r washer bottle and R26r washer blanks for the bumper 3AF9ACEF-FBF1-41F6-ADBE-223FAFCAEADC.jpeg 6059EA5C-3DF9-4709-BD43-9702DEA281C2.jpeg
     
  4. Impressive work! [emoji1303]

    What’s the paint you’ve used on the wishbones?
     
  5. VHT wrinkle paint, I find this stuff very hard wearing and will take knocks without paint flaking off

  6. Great work but I hope you didn’t buy the washer bottle from Renault for about £50 when it’s the same as any 1.6 Megane has, I got mine for a fiver!
     
  7. or scenic..got mine from ebay for peanuts.saves a fk load of weight to when filed with water..
     
  8. all credit to you for putting so much effort and money into a old megane.Inferno orange is still the best colour ever..looks great
     
  9. cheers pal, I think I went past the point of no return awhile ago now ha so I need to at least finish this off and use it for a while

  10. this is the thing...you see so many people invest so much into projects..then cant afford to keep the car,or are so pissed off with spending so much time on it,that they sell straight away!

  12. Also before the bulbs it went off to the garage to have the engine pulled and and checked over also to sort out the cambelt while it was out and any other seals that needed doing, fresh MOT, Tracking and air condition re-gas, the second to last picture of one of the mechanics losing the will to live trying to bleed the clutch 7C1714F7-7697-449F-9B3A-16D1582033C2.jpeg 2C511FC3-E23F-4400-B77A-B6DD15871761.jpeg 91CB9DA3-442E-4F7C-A504-2EAFEB69FA94.jpeg 60B56BE5-E146-4215-A4E2-A5CC0DDFC279.jpeg

  15. easiest way in my opinion
    If you want to do any work like cambelt, clutch and a must for a head off, then engine out.
    Can then work in comfort with it on the floor :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

    Still love the inferno colour
     
  16. Agree! When you finish that inferno will be a great car. I like the way you take. Cheer up man!
    And like so much the hood stick by the way!!:tonguewink:
     
  17. Quick update! Had a custom Vband exhaust made! 195A5A59-4AEE-4420-9E0B-68FAA179A76A.jpeg 695733FF-53D7-4C4E-8E00-BBF332340227.jpeg D05335B4-B666-46ED-AA71-AF0D8E89806B.jpeg CDF055BA-9A9E-469B-A929-46DFAD5F1B23.jpeg 2FD48CEC-7D11-4E75-8AAA-286671BE77C1.jpeg 99E61DBE-AC26-46B4-9440-95DE19322B97.jpeg 2A6C652E-AA45-408A-9950-69942258744F.jpeg B2D52FBC-671B-44D7-89B7-708AD7805E5D.jpeg 3EFB55D7-AB2B-42BD-9403-5B3B8E16D699.jpeg 86F5D37F-F046-46AE-BCF8-054AF3B6947E.jpeg
     
  18. lovely:tongueout::tongueout:
     
  19. Small mod today, replaced the dipstick with a newer model one as the olds ones tend to snap off inside there A6BCF1D2-417A-4A63-B9C0-3CC784BD3534.jpeg
     
  20. I also fabricated 2 top protectors for the rear bumper, not everyone’s taste I’m sure but better protect it a little with a bigger exhaust now 38553987-4703-49A8-B227-F56A1C14A288.jpeg D7A446B7-4A37-4856-8A83-C2D0196F244E.jpeg D7A446B7-4A37-4856-8A83-C2D0196F244E.jpeg 8326192E-AE16-4EE9-A448-97EE544BF850.jpeg
     
  21. That is the standard dipstick from the megane 3 right? Is it the same lenght as the crappy ones in the megane 2? Seems to be a bit shorter in comparison
     
  22. it is the same length pal just the photo make it look different and yes for a mk3

  23. Another addition, fitting one of these before the remap on the 17th as I hear these can be weak so upgrading to this one 67E39901-F513-4366-923F-83631DC77CD9.jpeg
     
  24. Update, I had the rear boot sprayed and de-badged the Megane badge, now all the rear is matched in, as most of these rear boots are different colours to the plastic trim that’s on there EDEF39E5-6B6F-41D0-B578-EE234F6DDAE2.jpeg

    New 630 injectors
    And a remap at EFI 2388F9DC-43D4-4166-9755-F560D00A681A.jpeg 9A05C3A2-DF99-486F-A6C9-695849897258.jpeg 4AD73446-8C76-448D-9324-6E40FC5A9685.jpeg E639866E-9E76-4DBE-ADB3-3F37A52A836F.jpeg 27D7CD8B-D7AC-47C1-90C1-507841847745.jpeg

  28. Some good figures there on a stock lump.
    What did the tuner think about the GPi cooler coping?
    I have the same cooler on mine,and have seen reports its no more efficiant than the standard cooler,even with the bigger core.I notice when the weather is warmer,the car is definatly less responsive with the chinese cooler.
     
  29. funny you should mention it! Chris said the GPI coolers ain’t the best but they are better than standard ones, he said with an airtec cooler I would have seen 280+ as they are a lot better at keeping temps down, he said on track I may notice a slight drop in power but normal road driving will be fine, I may upgrade to an airtec tho
     
  30. Nice one mate!! Good looking those graphs hehe. I'm wondering how will be the torque curve with a megane 3 rs standard turbo unit and larger intake hard pipes
     
  31. i have seen tests where the temps are literally identical on the gpi unit ,
    compared to the comedy tin can standard cooler,which was also fitted to the 175D.
    Its only when you hold it in you hands you realize what a wafer thin thing it is...so its some achievement for the much larger GPI unit to be just as average.And like i said...when it was really hot,in the summer,after caning the car i could noticeably feel the car losing power...even more so than the standard cooler..As you say,ther smaller airtech cooler seems to be a good choice for meganes with this kind of power..
     
  32. Good number man! Torque lows a bit after 4500 revs. but you must to notice the difference. You have there a beautiful and fast machine. Take a look on your back by the way, with that AFR should be some flames!:tonguewink:
     
  33. This is crying out for a 250 turbo!

    Great work, really nice looking motor you've got here.

  34. wont be worth the money for the little return it would give in power, if it’s forged it would be.
     
  35. So after what Chris said at EFI about if I take it on track a better cooler would be needed, I bought a Airtec cooler 70mm core BC57371F-3ADC-469A-83E3-D95CEA606826.jpeg 94C79D69-330E-42B6-B7B5-655A5BD5A3B3.jpeg 091FFAD4-A564-442B-A0CE-6824A13AEC2B.jpeg 843AA9ED-FE7D-4E86-A96D-F19300D36B94.jpeg

  37. I have a few little bits to do still to her but then it’s complicated really, I’ll have to find a new project soon ha
     
  38. Looks like a small bottle to me Andrew, standard one goes way down.
     
  39. it’s a small single pump one pal half the size
