Havent posted any pics of my R26 on here so thought Id show a few

[caymanr26]

have had it for coming up to 18 months now and have spent bloody loads on it - still got loads of plans but its staring to come together now

Hope you like - you might have seen it at FCS on the Streamline carbon stand

 

[Jamie]

What mods have you done to it bar what you can see (Ok, ok, so list those too.)

I kind of wish I maybe got one of these rather than exploring other avenues.

 

[caymanr26]

engine wise not alot - 2.75" Milltek/K-tec exhaust, K&N Element, Full Samco Kit (induction, boost pipe, boost pipe with t-piece for dump valve, lots of breather hoses all in Urban camo) Genuine HKS Blow Off Valve, Blanking plate to replace O.E dump vale, 2 x Boost brackets to stop sensors moving when on boost to eliminate boost leakage, think thats about it

[Christopher]

Fantastic!

 

[Alex H]

Looks awesome!

 

[Ian_182]

Great effort i think...

 

[Dip]

Agreed, looks bang on, especially the dash - very nice touch!

 

[Coby.]

Stunning.

 

[caymanr26]

cheers lads - its finally getting near to the standard I had my 172 at so really pleased with it now

 

[TimR26]

Looks good, lot of money spent there!

 

[peter182]

looks gud tim, sounds awesome aswell.

 

[caymanr26]

still no where near as loud as the 172 was! tis good though - hopefully will get a bit louder once its remapped

 

[-KarL-]

very nice Tim

 

[MikeB]

Interior is spot on!

 

[caymanr26]

got my carbon mirror covers fitted yesterday - will get some pics up when I get a chance

 

[Paul.]

thats stunning. Love it

 

[Gray]

Awesome colour

 

[lbrench]

Lovely car but all them engine mods and no remap, missing the vital mod imo

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

Looks stunning in the flesh! Made me really want one as my next car!

 

[caymanr26]

It's a long way to Leeds from Cardiff if it was closer it would be mapped by now. I'll get there eventually. It's pretty good as it is to be fair - currently has 246bhp without a map so not overly bothered
Rdm nice 1 mate - was good to meet u

 

[Rob]

Really, really like that.

Love the bay too, nice job all over mate.

 

[caymanr26]

couple of recent pics

now with carbon mirror covers

 

[Owen]

Tim, I f**king love every car you've ever posted on here! Wish I could pull my thumb out my ass and get the RB to the same standard as your 172 was (and R26 is!)

 

[Curtis!]

Engine bay = ace!

 

[Christopher]

That's exactly how I'd mod a Megane.

It's a credit to you... just like your old 172 was years ago.

 

[caymanr26]

cheers lads - still miss the 172 though!

next mod is some Eibach Pro springs - it has Eibach's as standard but needs to come down a little - no-one has tried them yet on an r26 (at least on meganesport.net) so no idea how it will look or feel but am dying to lower it a bit but no chance Im going down the coilover route, been there, done that and still paying the bills!!!

Then over the winter will be carbon bonnet, door handles, engine cover, door pillars, possibly same spoiler but in carbon, remap and some chroming/polishing under the bay

Oh and also tempted to try out a custom set of camo hoses but still contemplating what colours - any ideas?? im thinking bright green, white, anthracite possibly

 

[caymanr26]

heres a better one of the engine bay - also has the white header tank cap and anthracite dip stick now though

and heres a couple from Carmarthenshire G-Tec Modified Car show

 

[caymanr26]

oh and this will be a controversial one but id love to do this

and get a race battery

 

[Reyes]

OMFG.

 

[DrewBear11]

Awesome megane f1 ! Incredible attention to detail !

Considering chopping my 182 for an f1.

Bet that intake you posted would sound nice !

 

[caymanr26]

loads of updates so ill try and get through them all over the next few days - havent got any recent pics of the whole car as im missing a few parts at the moment as took them off for streamline carbon to use as moulds - carbon replacements should be here next week so ill get some good pics sorted soon after, have developed a bit of a carbon obsession so youll have to excuse me

R26r wheels now fitted - along with Carbon Fibre valve caps, Polarised wheel bolts and in the process of adding some carbon centre caps

Genuine Carbon Number plates

Full leather back seat and arm rest console fitted

Had a nice service a couple of months back

Carbon Fibre R26 Plaque

Done a bit of carbon wrapping - have since given up and am paying someone else to do it instead

 

[caymanr26]

Went up to ITG at the start of the month - using my car to design an induction kit which Im so pleased about, prototyoe being fitted on 2nd Sept and cant wait - should sound nuts

 

[Gray]

I can't wait to see what ITG come up with for the Megane Tim!

 

[caymanr26]

You and me both mate - id tell you what they are planning but I'm sworn to secrecy! Don't want other companies pinching their idea

Just 13 days left to wait!

 

[Gray]

Oh man... Sounds good

Full write up when you get it!!

 

[caymanr26]

Few more pics I've found

Fcs entry pic

Couple of the carbon centre caps

Carbon wrapped door handles - though these aren't the best so getting another pair done elsewhere

 

[caymanr26]

And in case anyone is wandering it's now sat on eibach pro springs too as got tired of the 4x4 look! H&r coilovers would be nice but wont be happening for a while yet at a £1000 a set

 

[Gib#244]

Looking great tim!

 

[DB.]

Very nice. Im not normally a fan of silver cars, but that looks ace. Interior looks awesome!

 

[DrewBear11]

Awesome R36 i am very tempted to upgrade !! Any updates on the ITG induction kit ? Megene could do with some more noise imo !
