cheers, what mm have you got on yours? thanks, yeah it could do with lowering springs. yeah i find the wheels alot nicer than the old and feels thicker sort of, i sent them a email asking if they could make one, i showed them that company on facebook from poland who had made one for the megane. they came back saying there were looking in to it but then came back again because they already make one for the clio 197/200 that looks to be the simular to the one that 'Racingflex' has made so there sending one to me to try for them Racing flex Powerflex
25mm on the rear, 5mm ordered for the front. Let us know how you get on with the mounts as I'm going to be sorting mine soon.
turned up this morning, just got to wait for the new top mount Powerflex insert by mattageaton, on Flickr Engine mount insert by mattageaton, on Flickr
well i can confirm the 197/200 insert does fit the megane. i fitted a new upper engine mount and new gearbox mount along with the powerflex bushes bought new mount from amazon New mount by mattageaton, on Flickr Upper mount by mattageaton, on Flickr New upper engine mount with the powerflex insert fitted New mount + powerflex by mattageaton, on Flickr old mount removed, quite fiddly with the aircon pipe there Old mount out by mattageaton, on Flickr All fitted Mount fitted by mattageaton, on Flickr Mount by mattageaton, on Flickr Mount all done by mattageaton, on Flickr Also fitted the gearbox mount Gearbox mount by mattageaton, on Flickr
Nice work Matt, the gearbox insert has impressed me, a noticeable difference on shifting, was doing the lower one too but sadly it's a different insert needed for the r.
to me it feels more taught and feels more positive when tou put your foot down. hopefully i will feel more benefit when i fit the lower one as well yeah i think the gearbox mount it quite well designed with the two strands that fill the holes going though it. you've probley got the new design that renault now supply. I think there is a insert for that as well http://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Rear+Lower+Engine+Mounting+Bush/11612.html
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006DHT9C4/?tag=rsmeg-21 i think its about £80 for the top mount from renault

interesting read. You have done loads and must have spent a fortune!! I take it you are not married Car looks spot on. Did the mounts reduce any vibration in cabin?
'Living with parents' lol i didn't have any cabin vibrations before i fitted them tbh, and they haven't caused any fitted either
Which dash cam did you go for? Any pics of it fitted? I'm looking into getting one myself but would like it be to well hidden.
i did buy a Chinese special but the quality was shocking, was looking at this one http://www.halfords.com/technology/...hboard-cameras/mio-mivue-518-dashboard-camera [video]https://youtu.be/yutfzthZsGw[/video]
few small updates i managed to pick up a renault sport badge of ebay for £10 brand new New Renault sport badge by mattageaton, on Flickr Badge fitted by mattageaton, on Flickr removed the tints from the rear windows, looks so much better without them Window tints removed by mattageaton, on Flickr im planning on having the headliner retrimmed along with the A,B and c pillars. i didn't know where the alarm sensors plugged in so i cut the wires to get them. i thought i could just attach them after but there's a wire within a wire so would be quite hard to do. after i found out where they unplugged i ordered a new set from adam and sprayed them black Alarm sensors by mattageaton, on Flickr Black sensor by mattageaton, on Flickr also got my mum to knock me up a new gear gaiter (good old mum) 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr lastly i gave it a clean yesterday as the weather was so nice 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr 08/04/2015 by mattageaton, on Flickr also got a video of the exhaust [video]https://youtu.be/baX-j-JyLSY[/video]
much more practical then Elise, garage down the road from has got on in. think id have to crawl in and out of it its so low lol
What is the point in those dash cams? Hadn't heard about them before now. Car looks awesome though, think UR is my favourite colour tbh. Might have to get me one of those spoilers aswell!
won these on ebay Carbon B pillars by mattageaton, on Flickr test fitted IMAG0241 by mattageaton, on Flickr IMAG0242 by mattageaton, on Flickr
And the cams save lots of disputes like I had! So if someone says an accident wasn't their fault as most do these days then you send the video off to the insurance company and its all sorted!
