-KarL-'s LY R26 Progress Thread

-KarL- · Nov 1, 2011

Well after owning the 172 for 3 years i decided i wanted a change so went the popular Megane route...

.

After owning it a few weeks i bought a modified short shifter which is a popular mod, it's amazing how it transforms the gear changes.

and a few of the other parts thats came this week

TimR26 · Nov 8, 2011

I like the numberplate, guessing it's legal. Where did you get it from?

Jimbo_M · Nov 8, 2011

This is awesome! Love the carbon r26r spoiler

-KarL- · Nov 8, 2011

Just had a look on the invoice and it's http://www.sixonetwo.co.uk 08444721612 they must the the tpi authorized dealer?

Number plates are from http://www.demonplates.com i'm sure/hope they are legal as i had to provide a copy of my V5 & lisence when ordering, they are quite ££ though.

Y7 ADW · Nov 8, 2011

That is lovely. Spoiler finishes it off a treat.

jesus · Nov 12, 2011

Plates are illegal but not obviously to the 'untrained' eye. They look cool though!

Its the way you have to run the dyno to get them to show full power, you have to load them up to get the ECU to reference the tables for maximum torque. So when you release the dyno brake you get that spike at times.

Not always the case though:
