    Better scuttle drains on new models?

    If you take the drain pipe out there is a flap at the bottom of the pipe (acts as a one way valve) I cut this off and it has improved the drainage

    Billet oil caps

    Hello all, Recently I made up a billet oil cap for my engine and had a few people say they'd like one. Well in the last week's I've got my arse into gear and actually made some ready for anodizing. Colours would be red, blue, yellow/gold, black and possibly gunmetal grey. The oil caps would...

    Steves Megane conversion build - She's finally running (VIDEO inside)

    Im back! Sorry for the long update time, mainly due to not a great deal happening on the car really, just enjoying it mainly. However I have made some progress on some bits to try and hit the magical 400HP on a 20t hybrid turbo. The plan is to use that of a 200 cylinder head which has far...

    You were behind me coming off the ring road, I turned right just before the Alton road. Could have possibly been a 220 trophy

    Expensive forged Nimbus Turbo !

    Looking good mate, should have that meet soon in a few weeks. I wouldn't bother with the 22t, I reckon it will surge like a bitch due to the mis match in wheel sizes between the turbine and compressor wheel. The turbine housing and wheel is the limiting factor on the td04's

    Clio gearbox oil for Box with gripper diff.

    I'd agree with what's above, use the best gearbox oil for the gearbox, I use fuchs titan but then again I have a helical lsd rather than a plated one. I find the new synchros are actually worse than the original and the carbon cone material is far more fussy over what oil you use. I knackered...

    UPDATE: Really haven't kept this up to date recently so here goes. For most this few months i have put more miles on the car however i developed a 4th gear synchro crunch. So two weeks ago i took the opportunity at taking the engine and gearbox out to sort a few niggles out as well. -Fixed...
