    I went to 330mm. At one point i was running machined stock rotor. Not sure what you meant by countersunk but my machine shop did a fine job for me. So it is possible.

    You only need to replace the bearing hub from a mk 3 Megane RS that is 5x114.3. An example from Rofag (https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-GENUINE-Renault-Sport-Megane-III-3-RS-250-265-275-front-hub-wheel-/201951534234?_mwBanner=1). You will need to machine your front rotor pcd as well. I am using a...

    I tried 8J and it destroys the natural handling of the car. 7.5J feels better imo. 8J aint gonna provide much benefit except for heavier wheels. I also kinda prefer 215/45/17 that completely flush with 17x7.5 +48. It will rub on 225 with that offset when on spirited driving. Real simple job...

    Dont waste time on 5x108. Change to Megane rs front hub and re-drill 5x114.3 for the rear rotor and you can run 5x114.3 all around. Tons of rim choices and easy for resale also.

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    Better late than never. Anyway i have already fixed the FD in. It is not day and night but commuting around town is so much better now with more low end torque and i reckon the car should come stock with this ratio.

    I did not need to code it. Just plug and play.

    Hi Rich. May I know if the FD is a direct fit?

    Hi Rich & company's, Good news. I am getting 2 boxes to mix the gear ratio and final drive but I have trouble trying to find the best ratio for acceleration. I am looking for aggressive gearing from 1-5 and cruising at 6. But not too sure if there is any advantage for being too close? I hope...

    Phenolic thermal manifold gasket......... ?

    I do not have anything to measure the volume. I treat it as a placebo effect.

    PS: where to confirm if my box is 003 or 024?

    Hi Rich, Thanks for the pointer. I have contacted Richard and hope he can get back to me soon. I am planning on just changing the 5th gear 38/39 from 003 with the 4.7FD for my 024. What is your view? I dont want my 1-3 to be too over aggressive. So i am keeping 1-4 bring 5 closer and keep...

    Alternatively you can consider redirecting ignition current to fuel pump. Save you lotsa trouble. I dont live in Europe. May I trouble you to source for a set of 4.7FD on my behalf?

    Yes my problem was solved by changing the UPC and the UPC dont come cheap. It is a very expensive component to replace which is not a common thing to fail. There was no water contamination spotted. [emoji849] Multi meter dont work because it is intermittent. You may want to swop the UPC with...
