Personally, I think this iteration of the Megane looks much better than the others (new and old). However, the above pic is absolutely fantastic!

Being a massive Jap fan, I was all set on getting a small Japanese HotHatch of some sorts when funds allowed but your car has made me consider the 250/265 ahead of, say, the CTR. Not much gets me gawking at anything that isn't from the quirky far east but your car definitely managed it.
I really appreciate that buddy but yes I like Jap cars and have tried a bit of Jdm influence on this car

Been a while and been through another set of wheels haha ended up with some 18x8 et35 oz alleggerita I painted in rays racing bronze and they looked great but ended up selling them and as part of the deal got a set of standard Megane cup wheels that I've slapped a set of a048 on.




Also had an alcantara steering wheel done buy royal wheels and a carbon surround for my shifter



Also a pair of red schroth harnesses



Also good session on track chasing my mate in his 450bhp golf gti at forge action day

Thanks for the words. I liked them...was my 1st time using them and seemed very sensitive to pressures and I found 28 front and 30 rear hot was perfect

Front ends been painted and given it a little going over with the polisher. Picked up these gold team dynamics as spares and typical my ultraleggera turn up just as tyre shops close. On the top 20 stand at performance French car expo at Donnington tomorrow

So cars had new wheel bearings, front end respray, 18x9 oz ultraleggera and a damn good clean but I'm now getting a clunk/click on turn which may be cv joint? Passenger side outer (thinner end) was loose but no grease could be seen anywhere so need to have a good inspection of that. New rear discs which with £125 discount still came on a whopping £190 ouch! But they do include the wheel bearings with them too so not bad, also a set of yellow stuff rear pads all ready to be fitted before track day at Bedford Autodrome on 19th November

Could the noise be track rod ends? I think they are a known issue.

To say these needed changing is an understatement. Can't believe they where that bad.

Hi Mike discs wise I'd stick with standards they do the job perfectly but I'd go for the plain discs as they make a lot less noise and speaking to a lot of German owners at nurburgring they have all gone to plain discs. Pads is a very personal choice but look at carbon lorain rc5+ pads they are highly rated in Meganes for fast road use with some odd track work too.

Suspension wise if it's a road car I personally really loved my cup shocks with HnR springs but the standard top mounts won't allow adjustment on camber which I do think Megane benefits from having, I currently have 3 degrees up from but will be dropping it down to 2.5 to make it a little friendlier on the B roads

Fantastic weekend with track day at Bedford Autodrome with my pals and the was insane once again. Car deffo needs a proper set up which was ore evident today when I was at the trackobsession power to weight shoot out and the car weighed in with half tank of fuel and without me in it at a whopping 1396kg and rolled 311bhp 366lbs torque so basically what she made at rstuning well over a year ago. Corner weights showed even without me in the car it's heavier on drivers side and they said it would really benefit from a corner weighing. Videos and pics up shortly
