well time for an update i think. ive spent a while playing with headlight bulbs and now got a setup i like. ive got white LED sidelights, with 5 LEDs in each side they are very effective and look great. that is combined with some ring +100% dip beam bulbs and some ice blue full beam bulbs. all 100% road legal and looks good and works well  now the major update, it spent a week in the very capable hands of Miles. i have to say he is a top bloke  i really cant rate him high enough, hes a real down to earth, genuine, honest, trustworthy guy. and his work is to a very high quality. would definitely recommend him and will definitely be using him again in future.anyway, the work he did resulted in me having an almost new car when he way finished  it was...Miles' fully reconditioned gearbox, genuine Peugeot clutch, Rich W lightweight flywheel (many thanks to Rich, top quality part as always ), driveshafts, wishbones, genuine Peugeot middle exhaust box, and finally rear brake pads.its alot of work but i want to get the car as close to perfect as possible, and i can confirm it drives very nice now ...although it has now developed a "rain sensitive rear wiper"  its not something i want so i shall be taking the relay out the weekend and cleaning that and checking for any signs of water or faults.________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

ok so not much will happen until spring time on this (not that its been very exciting so far) but in the new year i have some bigger plans for the 6. but that will have to wait, for now just pics of it on my winter wheels and tyres. these wheels i got from Gilesy, had them shot blasted and powder coated a slightly lighter grey with some white flake at work. its running on dunlop winter sport 3d tyres in 55 profile. i would describe the ride now as "spongy"  ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

well this is an unexpected and unwanted update. some clown very kindly decided to crash into my car last week, i wasnt there so dont know exactly when or how it happened, i noticed it as i looked around the car, as i do every weekend. its only minor damage but still bloody irritating.it broke the book badge:  and scuffed almost the whole length of the back bumper:   but after a wanted thread on here, Dangti6 quickly came to my aid with a replacement boot badge. i must give him a big thumbs up for great service. his price was great and had very fast delivery time, i would definitely be more than happy to deal with him again. so thankyou very much Dan boot badge removed, and we find a big dent from the force of the impact:  and then new badge fitted:  its a job i dont want to be doing again, what looks like it should be a simple 5 minute job turned out to be a real pain in the ass, but its done now and im happy with the result. as for the bumper, i shall leave that for now and probably get a professional to look at it as i know nothing about paintwork ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

I can confirm that I have no idea what colour my summer cyclones are. My guess would be ford graphite grey________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

Got mine Christmas '09 IIRC. thanks Harry, im glad you like it, the pictures really dont do it justice, it looks alot nicer in person. if your ever down my way your welcome to check it out as for the headunit i got the kenwood from halfrauds july '11, it broke aug, got a replacement, that too broke. so i now have a sony headunit which is actually a better match to the rest of the dials ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

oh and heres a little update, looks like this project is going like many others on here and becoming a money pit but its all good fun a teaser of whats to come in the near future, after some suspension work, i know its nothing new to you guys but is still very cool to me  collected from Rich W at the weekend, again i have to give Rich and the guys at Lynx a big i was meant to be there just to collect the kit but Rich very kindly removed the silver paint from my rear bumper and then spent a long time answering all my questions about the sc kit, i love how he always makes me feel like im the only customer there, it is great service and means i will definitely be using him again for many things in the future. so thankyou Rich, and see you soon ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |

Mine is fine, although I did think for the display was starting to pack up on it... but no, just me  I was thinking it was going to be SC from your PM. I don't know whether I would go SC or ITBs myself. My mates 2.1 ITB Williams engine is a Beast!!  However SC'6 does sound good too and it probably has better delivery than ITBs I would imagine?! Edit Black inlet too... Looks like we are in for a treat! At this rate I may revert back to TEAM China...

One Day I think it's down to personal preference, I can see why people go down the itb route but for me it had to be sc. it's the most power for the money and is a fairly easy conversion to do (very easy if you get Rich to do it ). From the moment I experienced Daveyboys sc6 I knew I had to do mine, it's a brilliant setup. Yes Ash, yours and Paul's sc china is one of my favourites, I've always loved that car ________________________________________ supercharged China gti6 - Thu 16th Sep 1999 - sold2010 megane rs250 |
