Progress has been somewhat slower on this Meg than I wanted !
It's hard at the moment juggling work and all sorts but I had the chance do a few bits and bobs on the car on Easter Friday at work , gave it a once over and noticed there's some slight play in offside front track rod / end , no I...
Well ive finally spent some time on the megane ! Not as much as I'd have like due to not being too well, but I have got a lot done !
Ive finally replaced the OSF shocker , it's been on its way for a while and it's been driving me up the wall!
All its fluid had come out now so it was about...
Me either mate car was awesome when I owned it , was genuinely one of those cars I spent all my modifying it never had to really fix it as it was spot on !
Not really much you can do if it was a couple of days later really !
Hahaha the car collects the love lol ! I'm a little concerned as the reg has dropped off everything , I'm hoping it's been put in a private reg! and not been broken or lost to the scrappy !
Hahaha I miss my Clio like mad ! Funnily enough the lad who was helping me machine the megane was the lad who bought it off me , we've stayed talking haha , and he says he misses it like crazy too!
Haha yeah that's what I'm thinking and it's not exactly rare stickers on the window so I can...
Hahaha thank you mate ! Ive still been debating take most of the stickers offs (excluding the r26 stuff) although even that's up for debate !
Fancying taking it back to the clean look for a bit see how I feel, if Id had the time last week , Id prob have done it !
Well ive been saying for a while that I need to get the paintwork tidied up a bit on the megane , but inbetween sorting other people's car ive not even looked at mine !
Finally got a free weekend last weekend and decided the megane was in for it , started nice and early and a mate popped...
Well the times hs finally come around that I actually need to do some work on the megane !
To be fair ive been rather lazy and stock piling bits together , but between work and other jobs ive had no time to even look at the megane !
Ive booked two days off work start of March, and cleared it...
Ive been thinking about it , but I quite like being a big child lol
When I clean in they may come off !
They look huge in the photo they aren't that big and obvious I'm promise
Well I haven't half been dragging my feet with this megane as of late , it's been running really well over the last couple of months which is great !
I've had so many bits I need to do but no time at the moment , sitting next to my box I have a brand new shocker , brand new inner track Rod!
I...
Fair play mate shame it's gone but like you say needs a must ! Was nice being able to see how it's doing lol never know may pop up again in the future !
Well I have been playing with the megane , just not a lot :(
Good news after a lot of messing about , I fitted the Milltek system ! What a PITA ! Bumper off all sorts was hoping for a quick job lol
Then when fitted I realised it was supposed to have a Milltek rear exhaust mount that I didn't...
Haven't been for a while been mental @Don sorry ! Plus since the departure of my 182 kind of gutted still! However I will try make it as much as I can in the '26! If I'm still welcome ;)
Well last week I spotted somebody breaking a 225 , now since I bought the car I've been searching for a second hand exhaust , and I've seen 1 in 7 months and that had been sold before hand :@
well I literally jumped straight on and messaged him, really nice lad and got chatting , found out...
Big step up in my opinion , I did it , and it is costly but imo worth while , tyres brakes etc aren't as cheap , Cambelts normally around the same price.
I average about 22mpg to work but I sit in traffic, on a run mines decent does 200miles on half a tank , and it's comfy to do that as well!
Well eventful few days with the megane !
A friend asked me to take him out in the car which after a bit of reluctance I agreed , we had a bit of a drive and Sod's law I noticed a catching noise from the rear when braking.
Had a good feeling it was the rear brakes finally , as I knew they've...
thanks very much mate :) it's getting there! Needs the rear doing a bit more in depth but when I have time I can do this :)
I had these from a friend of mine ! I can get you a set if you'd like drop me a PM !
haha fair enough I suppose I can't complain because my Clio was great never really cost a lot to keep it going where as the megane has had some teething issues , but I'll get there in the end ! I didn't buy a R26 thinking it'll be cheap to run !
Getting bored is dangerous though ;) lol
haha that's made me feel better about it mate :P haha it's a lovely car I can't take that away from it ! They are great motors but they aren't cheap to run compared to the Clio lol !
Well i wont lie, times have been a little slow of late ! With me and the partner setting a date to get married and saving for that and a deposit for a house the megane has been sitting on its own !
I wont lie I had also lost a massive interest in the car , for some odd reason , and had decided...
I'm just curious , a friend is buying a RS tuner box new from fast chip for his 182, using the 98 Ron map on his which im uploading for him (done it for my old 182 so no problems)
he has said after he's happy for me to use the box as I have a megane R26, i know I will need to unlock it , but...
