So here is my Megane - 97 2,0 16v coupe cup wannabe edition, Megane must be a forgotten model its not a Rs and its no section for them here. 
The projekt started when we wanted a cheap endurance car, so stripped it out got hold of a cup Cage ( cup is The competition car, not red calipers and different springs
).
Got some Ph2 brakes same as 172, 280 instead of 262mm and a sportseat, the disks have custom cooling slots for cooling from 2 sides.
Engine was bad so got a new and its a F7r-714 instead of The 710.
We never started racing and it got used as my spare car as I never got finiched with my projekt car ( kids)
During the years i have got some cup parts like hubs, wishbones, rearaxle and rear coilovers, still not on the car as I need to get some driveshafts as the cup car had a sadev box and I have the jc5 box and need to find a solution for front coilovers, cup parts would be Nice but they Cost too.
Pads is now Ds3000 front and DS2500 rear and it works great, still abs on the car.
Measured the power and got 149,7 hp and 187 Nm on the rollers, got some clio Williams cams, little headwork and a Custom made exhaust, the downpipe and manifold is modified, after that it got 176 hp and almost 200Nm.
With chip ( after removed the silicone and a mounted a chip holder) it got some less HP but more Nm now its over 200 Nm so its much faster then it was before.
But to go faster then my friends i wanted more power and less weight, so now engine is out for some clio 197 pistons to get some higher CR, also a clio 172 billet flywheel and upgraded manifold.
When i looked at the engine when it was in bits ( still is) i found that oilpump was realy bad and so was the bearings, must be some dirt from when the previous owner of the engine broke the oilsump, its was fixed with plastic when we got it, so now i got a new sump.
As its a F7r-714 some parts is the same as the clio 172 F4r engine, like oilpump, bearings without tangs. The engine will have lots of different parts from different renault cars.
So engine will have new oilsump, clio 172 oilpump, new acl crankshaft bearing, new acl bigend bearings and as a resultat of that the F7r-710 conrods, clio 197 pistons with new rings ( Mégane have 9,8:1 clio 197 11,5:1) there are some difference in head volym and gasket thickness so i have gone for a 0,76mm cometic MLS instead of the 1,3 mm oem gasket, clio 172 billet flywheel only 2.9 kg with a new clutch ( should be the same as the Megane F7R what i can find out but they dont sell them for Mégane.)
Head is untuched with The clio Williams cams, injectors will be volvo T5 as the oem is like 100% open at this power.
Car will have some plastic panels to go on, and its still plenty to do with it as I still have glas and electric motors.
Car is road legal but i had to Mot it with the Cage in it as a change and got a new weight, needed the oem seats During that time and with half tank i got 1043 kg or 1140kg as tax weight, thats full tank 70kg driver and car, its 1220 from the beginning. When i got home i changed the seats to one sport seat and got 29 kg less weight with only that.
Now i have to go standalone to tuned it properly after change of injectors and so on and the oem box is not easy to tune.
