Hi all,
New to the forum here and recently been thinking about a Meg engine conversion so this would be the best place for some info
.
Car is a 197 as you can tell!
Had most of the criteria I was after when buying it, spoiler, recaros and exhaust tips. Missed out on the headlights but sure. Had been unmodified too which was good.
First few pictures are the night I got it, a year ago next month.
One of the first things I done was fitted 20mm hub centric spacers all round. Pictures don't show them too well but below are the before and after pictures
Decided that I wanted the Renaultsport front splitter, not to everyone's taste but I thing it goes well with the cup spoiler
This was our Renaultsport owners club NI meet but sadly we didn't get the best of weather, typical NI!
So these two pictures were just after fitting the H&R lowering springs 30&40mm
Finally decided on the ITG maxogen kit, expensive yes, it does sound good and hopefully has provided slight gains
The day the Maxogen was fitted and the K-Tec two piece drilled front discs too but you can't really see them in the picture.
Nice shiny manifold to replace the old blowing one
Replaced the upper torque arm bush with powerflex bushes as well as inserting the upper engine mount powerflex bush at the time of fitting the toyosports manifold.
Lower gearbox powerflex bush
Was very tempted by this R26 but sadly couldn't get the insurance.
Also got the anthracite wheels instead of the silver ones which I think look far better
This is the most recent picture, just had a milltek cat back fitted.
Any ideas of improvements are welcome!!
So overall summary of the mods I've done is:
Anthracite wheels
Toyosports manifold
Milltek catback
Powerflex bushes, upper torque arm, lower gearbox and upper engine mount
20mm hubcentric spacers all round
H&R 30/40mm lowering springs
ITG maxogen
K-Tec drilled two piece front discs and brembo pads
LED interior lighting
Kenwood headunit
Heko wind deflectors
Silvervision front indicator bulbs
Osram Nightbreaker bulbs for the white effect
RS front splitter
Smoked front fogs
Metro number plates
Black Renault diamonds
Hopefully a 230 engine to be added to this list at some stage too!!
Thanks for looking
