New to the forum so decided to start a project thread. After previously owning a megane 225 and Megane r26 I left the Renault seen for all of a 2 years before i got the itch to get another. So in November 2015 i purchased a 2015 Megane 275 Trophy from Renault london west. 
After owning a 320 bhp r26 i felt that it was a bit gutless so after a month and a trip to rs tuning I had a stage one remap done 308 bhp 340 ft lbs.
Next i couldn't stand the wheel arch gap so decided on a set of bilstein B14 coilovers
Next on the list was a rs tuning 3" decat.
Fitted with the akrapovic exhaust it sounds awesome! But then problem started Drving to work one day i hear a rattle from the engine followed by the engine light and cut a long story short after going 3 dealers and 4 months later it had a new engine! So once back i wanted to get the map checked but decided that i would fit a FMIC. I went for the airtec stage 2 cooler
So back to rs tuning and a stage 2 map car makes 320 bhp 365 ft lbs! and goes well now! But decided a few weeks later i should have fitted a intake to the car. So made a custom Itg ( a copy for half the price )
Done a track day a bedford last month and the car is a weapon. Few pics of me my dads track 225 and mates Clio 197 turbo
Had a play with a focus rs on track, Couldn't keep up with me in the straights or with corner speed but coming out of some of the tight bends the traction from the focus 4wd is awesome.
So thats all for now few more pictures i have
