I'd seen it on their social media. Think they've seen a gap in the market with the Renault ones hard to get hold of. My main concern would be that it doesn't look like they've done any long term testing on them, they've just produced and marketed them as quick as possible, meaning the 'real...

Yeah I think it'd be amazing. I've gone to the dark side and currently in a 330d touring as I do quite a lot of miles now, but next year I'm tempted to look in to buying a cheap 200 and then going this route for a weekend car. Yeah I'll be the wrong side of £15k once done probably but I just...

You have the other option of going the K20/24 route through Custom Production if you love the Clio enough to spend the money, that way you get the power\'reliability' you want from the Honda engine but the Clio as a base. Again it depends how deep your pockets are, I'm yet to see any real...

I mean this in the nicest way possible - Going up hill, trying to overtake and in 6th gear just sounds wrong to me - I haven't driven a Clio in a few years but it's a ~190bhp Naturally Aspirated car, there isn't a 'boost' to kick in and I'd have definitely been in a lower gear. The boost...

I echo all of the advice from above but most importantly the last point of just taking it to a garage that works on these day in and day out. You could spend fortunes trying to guess what it would be and taking parts to a generic garage for them to fit. 3) I'd definitely suspect manifold, this...

Luckily I cleaned all of those with a wire brush and lubricated with a bit of copper grease - Good to understand how it all works though and I'll focus on it a bit more if the squeaking comes back, I probably could have paid a bit more attention to those areas. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, mine revs out too, just sometimes when I plant it, it has a bit of a wobble. Good to hear this though cos it's been putting me off getting mine to EFI for mapping but I know you've had yours done with no issues so I'll probably just go for it, I'll check plugs beforehand. Don't really...

Small uninteresting update with the car but want to document everything. I've been trying to be as 'hands on' with this car as possible as I quite enjoy working on my own car even with my limited experience, it's always good to learn through the guides on here and videos on YouTube. (plus it...

Try Custom Production - They do lots of Megane swaps etc so might be able to put you in touch with someone who they are doing work for.

I know this isn’t what you probably want to hear (I wouldn’t after spending £9k on a car and having these issues) but this is just unfortunately part of tracking cars in my opinion, some people see 100k miles cars doing hundreds of laps a year, some people take them on track the first time and...

Mental money. Clearly someone with a lot of spare cash wanting it for their collection. Good news for you owners though, people will start to lose their mind and advertise their cars for mega money. (See ‘huge spec’** £14k 200 on eBay ** no recaros or speedlines Lower mileage cars seemed to...

As mentioned, I don't think anyone uses the RS Tuner on here. In the case of maps on a 'usb or laptop' that's not how it works or the companies doing the remaps wouldn't be in business. To make the map suit your car, it would usually be flashed with a generic base map, data logged, tweaked to...

If the belts were done 6 years ago I would want to factor in doing them again - This is purely my opinion but I'm always overly cautious As mentioned in my other post the description sounds great and has the common issues listed as done - gearbox refurb, R26R Clutch and SMF, new front shocks...

I think it's easy to get carried away with things like this (as you've seen on Pinterest) Albeit mine was only in internal garage for storing my old R26 over the winter but some reasonably low cost things I did which made a huge difference were: Painted the floor in Screwfix No Nonsense Grey...

I agree with the above, I've had both and it's very similar things to look out for to be honest, good service history and maintenance record with recent Cambelt, Aux Belt and Water Pump. On a car with 130k miles I'd expect most common parts to be done by that point really: Swivel bearings Ball...

I thought I would take some time to update my thread as I'm back in to another Renault Sport after another brief hiatus and it's been great looking back through this as a reference to the cars I've had over the last few years! This forum has always been one I've kept browsing so thought I would...

I don't think you can get the original fabric now for the blue dot ones - There are a few that can get very very close as they've done loads. Capital Seating will only do them if you take the seats to them when I last asked, they can't confirm a match without them being there, and you...

Taking everything you've mentioned in to account; what you will use the car for, your budget, what you are looking for in the car and wanting something new/nearly new, I really can't see past the GR Yaris. I don't know how similar it would be to the Megane but it would definitely be one to try...

I couldn't say mate, I've always supplied my own parts and had multiple things done at one time. I've always found his labour rates decent though, relative to the work I've had done.

Ricky is great and definitely knows his stuff, I've been using him for a few years now. He sorted the gearbox bearings/cambelt service on my old 275 plus fitted some Bilstein B14's and he recently did new clutch, flywheel and cambelt etc on my now old R26 that I've just sold. He can be a bit...
