Bye bye R27 :( Hello R26!! :)



  Megane R26
I might be able to keep up in this mate, lol!! Your car is bloody quick!

Neil - Bedford in April hopefully :)

Cheers everyone!
 
  White R26/Stripped Valver
Nice choice, I would get the stickers (not the roof ones, pain in the arse).

Also In the first pic I noticed the white megane in the background, who's is it?
 
  Megane R26
done 20k miles in mine and even mapped with 343lbft it was still a bit tame, too damned heavy and crappily geared.

:rolleyes:

Yeah, hard to get a decent spec too with Recaro's and Cup chassis. It's about 10MPG up on the R26, but I'm prepared to take the hit financially. I'd imagine a Stage 2 R26 would give the 175 remapped a good spanking
 
  e60 M5 -172- dciheid
all about power then imo and power to weight. dci was 100kg+ over the R26 and even mapped a 205bhp diesel v 270bhp petrol with same torque of 345lbft is no contest.

Renault missed the boat with the 175 dci, could have been so much better, but i think they didnt want it to rob the petrol sales. Plus ££££ when you buy it its dearer.

Mine was mega well spec'd every toy bar the recaros!

Cheers :)

Do I just call Forge up and go collect directly?
You can do its not too far/bad a run actually, they knocked a fair chunk off the ktec/list price too! More than enough to be worth a run from here put it that way. If you do get one and want a hand fitting it give me a shout!

Looks great that, mate. Really nice car. I wish I could just go and get one instead of wanting either white or yellow. I have the cash ready, too. Meh.

Can't quite tell from the photo, but silvervisions and maybe a filter would be a great start before venturing into remap land :)

KTec and RSTuning also offer a box now which you can use to map the car without having to travel to a specialist. It's £500+ mind, but quite handy.

Enjoy it, Russ. :cool:

Cheers everyone :)

Scutch - I'll probably get the remote box, they are £550 on a Group Buy at the moment, plus it's handy if Renault decide to reflash the ECU if it ever goes in for warranty work.

I've never seen another silver one, but see a couple of LY's around, and wanted something a bit more subtle, which I think this is.

I have some Silvervisions on my Clio, which they will hopefully let me swap over when I collect

There's 1 or 2 silver R26's up here in Cumbria that I've seen, and 1 LY which Colin owns (C1CDG on Meganesport.net). Also a couple of white ones, too. Think I'm just being far too fussy, but I'll get there in the end.

£550 is pretty good for the remote box, too. It is very handy that you can restore factory settings should it need warranty work or servicing. :)

Cheers everyone, collect it tomorrow, Werkstat detail Friday, remap... very soon :p

Ordered some RS mats for it, Modus aerial, replacing a piece of marked plastic trim, silvervisions, panel filter and had 2 alloys refurbed by the dealer. Gonna keep this MINT.
 

The Boosh!

Tomorrow definitely off now then :rasp: Gives me chance to fit some bits anyway!

Would mind a go in one of these, I reckon I will be getting one of these next!

Yeah dude lol, the weather looks shocking anyway - did you get my text?

You can have a bash in mine when you come down

I have that, and I've ordered the two new Victoria Waxes (Chaos and Mayhem) and I'm picking up some Duragloss and Zaino tomorrow to test out too.

Thats an awesome price!!

I'm looking at different cars now myself, didn't know you could them for around 12k now, a LOT of car for the money.
From memory the one I was looking at was sub11k, with 15k miles on it. I could of bought it to sell and made money.
 
  Megane R26
There are a few about for £10k, but lots of dogs out there. This needs a little bit of love but it's 95% mint.

Great car, I'm loving it. Looks a lot better now I've given it a half decent clean too.
