Hi guys, I'm new to the megane world but not to the wonderful world of renault.
I've had two clio 16v ph1's so far for the past 4 years and each one of them got the hybrid treatment
so yeah why I've come here, I've just taken the big step into a megane 230 r26 f1 so thought id give you

Will get pics of both the clios and the megane when i pick it up

Re: Newbie
Hello and welcome aaronw16v, electric problems and water ingress issues are two top things to watch out for, plenty of posts about them and other issues in the problems section.
Enjoy your new ride and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics

Re: Newbie
I have the 2.75 miltec with a ktec decat. Sounds well, and frees the turbo up quite a bit.
A stage one map is a must. Its the way it should have left the factory.
Are you a member of meganesport.net?
Good luck

Re: Newbie
Take a trip to RS tunning in Leeds if you can.
Paul will sort you out, its done live on the dyno for the best results.
I got mine there before I came back to NI. The car has run like a dream ever since.
If you can't go to www.fastchips.nl . Henk will provide you with a remote box and a calibration map for the car. You upload it via laptop. (He only tunes Reno sports and has done it for years) its the next best option if you can't get to Leeds.
