Chris' R26 Project

I knew it wouldn't be long before i was back in a Renault Sport. Managed ,after a bit of searching and driving some truly terrible examples, to pick up this Black Megane R26. Its had all the correct history at all the correct times and has some very nice upgrades like the Single mass flywheel conversion with helix clutch, Full Miltek turbo back exhaust and a full turbo gobble gobble noise making Blanking plate. Purchased as a toy really, after selling the Petrol Blue and driving a Jaguar XF ever since iv become quite bored and wanted something to work on and take spirited drives in. No real long term plans for it other than taking the tints off and adding the R26 Decals back on. In my eyes it just looks like a standard 225 at the moment. Needs a little work here and there to sort out some questionable handling characteristics and also thinking about having the exhaust mapped in along with the air filter to enjoy a little increase in power.

Iv got no real photos as iv been enjoying driving it too much :) Here are some from the Advert.

Looks spot on mate!

You going for the eBay sticker kit? I've thought about putting some back on mine too
One of the Kits from a company in France, Jestercreations i think their called.

Did you get much change from 20 quid?

Very very nice, really like these, and yours looks lovely. What is the mpg like on these? Thinking of getting one (probably a 225 though), really do think they still look great.

The stickers turned up... And the quality is alright but not what im looking for. They were also damaged in transit so got my money back and now have the correct size templates to use. Have already emailed a local sign writer to see if he can make a copy of them.

The cars been booked in with Ktec to give it a good look over. Strangely the EML light went out the other day and am now noticing a slight increase in oil consumption ! Can't see that there connected but will get everything checked out. Still no luck on a R26r spoiler or short shifter, but have been eyeing up a Zero Point One shifter :cool:

while fitting the short shifter, its a good time to check the white bush on the actuator. it can make the gear changes feel stiff.

drill the bush with a 10mm drill bit and give the bust a coat of grease

The shape, size and colour are spot on but they are more sticker than vinyl. Very thin and don't look like they would hold up to much. Also the F1 stickers were speerate and not printed on the decals.
