so i have a 197 with a megane f4rt and gearbox fitted but the reverse lights dont work the reverse switch i think is different as the wiring dont match :( what have people done to get round this fit a 197 switch ?
i almost bit the bullet and forged the bottom end but i plan to travel again in july so just a standard rebuild is on the cards with arp bolts maybe a 250 turbo if i can find one for sub £300
so after a long day i managed to get the engine out and striped down to just a block.I didnt get an pictures as i forgot my phone ill get a load more on the way back in.
Once the pistons were removed i found clynder 2 piston ringland was cracked :( luckily i have a spare piston.The block is now...
so after the rolling road day on saturday my worst fears were confirmed :( the car is down on power alot since i got it back it felt slow and seemed to be getting worse the rollers gave me a print out of 203bhp although still the most powerful clio on the rolling road day i was very dissapointed...
thats my buisness chain its made from ring pulls of all the beers i shotgunned while i was living abroad
i think it really needs the decals to break up all the grey the meganes is my girl freinds
its really nice to be back in a clio especially a boosted one im back in the uk for about 5 months i definalty intend on doing some work on the clio mainly exhaust and getting a decent map on it as for some reason or another it has a standard map on it .
when i do leave ill be gone for 5-12...
i want to get alot of waste gate chatter noise from my meg converted 197 to achive this can i remove the original dump valve and fit a blanking plate ?
will there be any side affects draw backs by doing this ?
