Michelin PS3 worked well on my R26. I got over 10k out of them and they stood up well to being abused around Donington. No melting and hardly wore at all.
I emailed the seller on Wednesday asking for pics of the RS2 he is selling (as the pics in the listing are lifted from James' thread) but haven't had a response yet.
Also you will need uprated engine mounts to fit this so take that into account if you're bidding.

I think you're right because when I test drove a standard 225 F1 I preferred my 172. I've never owned a standard Megane as mine was Stage 2 when I bought it.
I personally think the R26 is more fun than a 172 but then mine is Stage 2 and it gets driven properly every single day. I thought I would miss my 172 when I sold it but haven't at all.
A 172 is much cheaper than a Megane on petrol, tyres, and brakes. I've found my Megane to be much more reliable than my 172 ever was but it's still more expensive to run overall. That's from my experience of doing over 20k a year though so I reckon if you do less than 10k a year you won't notice...
A few pics from tonights South Central meet at Longbridge Mill near Basingstoke.
Thanks Chip for giving us some passenger rides in the 172 turbo, Mike and Jack built a fantastic car :)
