its just fucking idiots that pay a grand for a willaims lump that are the mongos that bump up the prices.

well to keep it looking standard is tricky, megane standard means a lot of hassle removing the dash and fitting the wiring etc into a 19 dash shell which isn;t easy.

19 standard means some mods to the engine.

Unless of course you just use the megane bottom end then its easy.

Stan got his second one with gearbox for £150!

We've also been looking at jointly buying another one from a scrappy for £125.

150ish bhp straight out the box with a chip to sort the fueling, a good bit more torque.

No electrical problems but I made the loom from scratch and am confident with my wiring work. Reliablity has also been good to date although we've killed the JC5 gearbox meaning i've got to fetch the lump out again soon but as we've got a BBT Padle clutch to fit to it was inevitable. Last time the 19 was on the rollers it did 153bhp ATW and the computer estimated 28-30bhp trans loss and the Apexi RSM recorded 183ps which isn't shabby
