So made some progress today on the car.
Sadly the R26.R Carbon Spoiler has been sold but it was always my intention to sell fancy bits like the spoiler and alloys so I could spend the rest on an R26 LSD gearbox and performance upgrades.
So spoiler removed (started to pee down so no time to...
Hi Everyone,
Just a bit of background before we start,
I use to own a very nice Liquid Yellow R26 for over 2 years but sadly I couldn't sell it for what I wanted for it so stripped it for parts at the beginning of this year.
Stripping Megane 225/R26's is nothing new to me as I've been doing...
So as I have plans to up the power of the car the standard Renault exhaust system with fancy back box just wasn't going to cut it.
I've been in talks of having a system made but a Ktec 3 inch system came up at a cracking price so I jumped on it.
Will be attempting to fit this along with the...
So as I'm saving to re-map the car I've said to myself no more spending on the Megane for a while.
That didn't last long so :laughing:
Finally got round to fitting the wind deflectors that I pinched from the Black R26 I broke a few weeks ago.
Next up was a change of mats. Managed to bag a...
So good news!
Car has passed it's MOT with 2 advisories which are crusty rear shocks and springs (still have all the new suspension bits to fit from last year) and a track rod end that needs looking at.
Over the last few months my driving/parking hasn't been it's best as sadly I've curbed the...
So time for a little update.
Had these new engine mounts and Powerflex mounts/inserts for some time and finally got a nice day to change them over.
So started with the lower engine mount, fitted in its new home
[/URL]
Then on to the upper engine mount with new stabiliser bar...
So just a small update on a few little jobs tackled this past weekend on the car.
First up was sorting out the drivers side headlight.
Recently both the indicator bulb and the side light bulb had failed so I was only left with my main beam and an annoying high speed tick every time I went to...
So even though it's January and I'm flat broke it hasn't stopped me spending on the Megane
They are a set of Reyland 330mm bells and rotors,perfect stoppers for my next plans.........
So first update is I've fitted the leather doorcards and centre console from the DCI I was breaking
Also fitted a Clio 200 steering wheel. Reason I've fitted the Clio 200 wheel is that's it's smaller,deeper dished and was in great nick PLUS it has a yellow band to match my paintwork!
The...
No you are right Renault were struggling for stock but have them back in atm.
Not sure tbh. Don't think I'd make a massive amount off breaking it as I want to keep the seats for myself and I'd love to start doing track days but there's no way I'd be using the Liquid Yellow one for such days.
So not alot happened over the last few weeks with the car,just been enjoying driving it and such
Then this happened last Friday................
Only gone and bought another on :tongueclosed:
Not sure what the plans are yet,will definitely be 'de chaving' it and give it a good clean...
Bought the lot off Paul Temperton via the Megane Facebook page Dan.
Think I'm gonna splash out on new bottom arms too and that way everything suspension wise will be brand new!
Thanks bud,suprising how quickly the idea of leaving a car standard changes :smile:
Never fitted them as when I looked through all the new front end I came across new genuine top mounts.
As mines a weekend car I thought they were a bit of an overkill so sold them on.
So another week and another shitty update
Nothing special just some wheel spacers as the alloys seemed to be lost in the arches without them.
Pictures are s**t as i'm more Bill Bailey than David Bailey

So a Megane 275 turbo turned up cheap this week and I couldn't turn it down
So I have everything for 300bhp/300 ftlbs just need to get it to RS Tuning in Leeds to have it mapped :smile:
So after decommissioning the DCI over the last 2 days I finally have a few bits I've wanted since buying the car.
With my R26 being a 'Non-Lux' model it didn't have keyless entry or a leather rear bench.
I'm not to bothered about the first bit the secondition one is something I wanted.
So que...
So it's been an eventful month with the Megane.
Finally got round to replacing the passenger side mirror after hitting a grouse and having the fat feathered t**t rip my mirror clean off :rage:
Also to add insult to injury I had a stone fly up and crack my windscreen so I was £75 quid lighter...
