I know mate I am very crap! I wish I could be more detailed like your project thread, but I just get carried away and before you know it there's the finished result! [emoji23]
Thanks Gus! [emoji5]

I've made a fair bit of progress this evening!
Milltek exhaust fitted, which has given the car a much more purposeful sound. It's only cat back for the time being but I'm looking forward to hearing the results of a decat pipe!
Also fitted this evening was a KTR induction kit coupled with their...
I know... [emoji30]
I hope so James! I'll take it for a drive later after I've fitted the Milltek!
Let's hope they're all like that!
Window regulator's seems to behaving themselves at the moment! But I know how fragile they are.
As for the hubs they have been replaced which was a bug selling...
Cheers guys! I've fixed it!
I remember Lee saying he replaced the gear gaiter recently.
So stripped it down and found the plastic shaft not positioned correctly and it had jammed the lift up.
Now refitted it's working perfectly!

That's great news mate!
I'm heading up on the Friday though. Leaving basingstoke at midday!
Ah they well look much better against the black paintwork. Especially as a very inconsiderate spider has decided to die inside my offside headlamp and is properly wedged in there! [emoji23]
I'm not...
I agree mate. I'm glad this one already has the R spoiler as it would of been an essential purchase!
Haha! Many apologies Megane Master! [emoji6] when you mention the R26R headlamps are they the black insert xenon units?
I wasn't sure what exhaust to go for, but I can get hold of Milltek...
Cheers mate. I think you're right!
That was a lovely car, and so was that supercharged Saxo you had!
Ah well, you know what they say about hindsight...
As good as they look on yours bud, they are probably a step in wrong direction for mine! [emoji23]
I'd love a set of R26R wheels though, in...
Cheers mate. I was also surprised on how good the car looks for it's mileage.
It would of been nice to of gotten a car with a few less miles, but I'm hoping it's thorough maintenance will counter act this.
There's seems to be a few Megane's on the forum, with well over 100k being used as...
That makes sense, he said he did vehicle upholstery.
Thanks mate, among many guides online, forums etc I found this one on Pistonheads to be helpful.

Cheers Mark! [emoji5]
There's plenty of decent...
So after the saga of my Impreza (Details here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/robs-1995-impreza-wrx-sti-type-ra.801704/ )
I knew that I wanted to get something a little more modern, and that still excited in the twisty's, track etc
I've always liked the Mk2 Megane, it's a quirky looking car...
So far I love it mate, and feel like I should bit the bullet and bought one ages ago.
Here's the advert:

Got a few plans for it already, but will just those when I...
I'm really pleased Scott, as it couldn't if got to a better owner!
It's a father and son from Leeds that plan to rebuild it, and use it on track as I had intended!
They've had Impreza's and Integra's before all used on track.
They plan on keeping the RA long term as well, and have promised...
*touches wood for you also*
I think for the most part they are bloody reliable. Ive got a mate with a 'blob eye' and he treats it like crap! And that car hasn't put a foot wrong, there's plenty of stories like this.
There's also a few like mine...
Like I said I will always have a soft spot...
The RA has sold! The new owner is collecting this weekend.
I'd be lieing if I said I'll miss the Scoob... They're cracking cars and I will always love them. However mine has caused me no end of grief, and it's time to move on! [emoji23]
I'm coming back to a Renault, and going to look at an...
Gutted for you Dan after all your hard work. I know how you feel though as the Impreza is currently up for sale with it's engine fault...
Don't be like me though! Borris is far too special to let go!
I'm still going to CSF regardless to whether I manage to sell the soon, and find a replacement...
Thanks for all the kind messages, and support chaps!
This is truly a great forum with an awesome community!
I think the plan is to cut my losses and sell the RA is it is.
Unsure what to replace it with but at the moment top of the list is a Clio 200!
I need to try and sort something out...
No mate unfortunately the block was never opened, the bores all looked fine with minor scoring.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I wish we had stripped it down further. It may not of shown anything at the time, but if those components were refreshed it might of stopped this from happening...
It pains me to write this message, but the RA has died... Well the engine certainly has!
Now if you remember my RA was recently up for sale, but I withdrew it when it started to smoke which was suspected to be a breathing issue that might be cured by installing an oil catch tank...
Suffice to...
Cracking build mate! Lovely attention to detail.
The engine bay especially is fantastic!
Your Leon looked bloody awesome also. Very capable looking car!
