    Garage for brake mods

    The ds1.11 have destroyed my alloys, but for road and track, no fade, no squeal, and no shuddering with pad pick up. For me, the knack is get on, get off brakes, don't linger!. My son had just fitted Winmax pads, and he recons they are better than the ds1.11, but they are more expensive. I have...

    The supercharger would be the easier option, the 265 option, a lot more work.

    Megane 265 swap

    My 197 has a 265 engine running 320/340. The 225 Gearbox fits, but the 265 gearbox would need a lot more work.It was sold to me, with major overheating problems, which they tried to solve, by louvres in bonnet, removing grills etc., nothing worked!. I found by accident, that the Rad fan was the...

    Megane 265 swap

    My 197 has the 265 engine, and 225 box, running 320/340. The Engine/box/intercooler were fine, many other problems encountered, all now sorted, and car runs well. The 265 engine/225 box, will fit easily, the 250 box would fit, but needs bulkhead cutting, to get a good fit. Run the 225 rad, its...

    Alternative brake cooling ducts

    It is feasible, but easier if you remove the fogs. I run a 320/340 meglio, don't use ducting, and have never had a problem on road or track.

    Aero Catches

    I looked at catches, but went with pins, as they were dead easy to fit.

    Aero Catches

    When I first got my Clio, the cable was frayed, the catch was falling apart, so it seemed sensible to fit bonnet pins. No more worries/problems in that department.

    197 Cup F4RT track car

    I kept the air con. I don't care if it takes a few BHP to run. I have got out after 20mins on track, and been shivering with the cold!. On the subject of overheating,( Mine was when I purchased it.), I found the fan was blowing the wrong way around. Overheating cured!.
