Looks great

I need to get some Cooksport springs as the ride height looks much better than mine!

Yeah they are a must! They don't even make the ride that much worse.

Are you still ok going over speed bumps etc?

 

[Breamy]

Was always spot of for me mechanically just a few french electric gremlins!
Have you changed the clutch?
And ill give the swap a miss lol, The megane is epic but the evo is another level!

Still fine going over speedbumps Tim, as Karl said, Cooksports are a must!

(Then again, I don't have the R26 splitter to contend with )

Some speed bumps can be a pain! Have to go over on one wheel or at an angle for the big ones lol

Yeah the window reg went again, haha an Evo is definitely on my list to own.

yeah clutch was changed last year.

 

[Breamy]

Was gonna say if it was still on the original then it would be good going lol. You must still be enjoying it as you have had it a while now!

The clutch was fine it was the slave that failed! It's done alright for stage 2!

Ive considered selling it but I have put too much money into it lol I will be getting my first house soon so it's a keeper.

 

[Breamy]

Ye doing pretty well with that much torque, you must be easy on it lol.
I only sold it to put more money into a house. Kinda wish I didn't but needed the money

Absolutely stunning karl :approve: The steering wheel looks perfect, cant wait to get mine on.

I cant wait for the cooksports to be back in stock the drop looks perfect. I need to have a sit in your seats once the subframes are done so i can make my mind up

Whats next after the seats are in?

 

[jesus]

Does the 197 wheel go straight on?

Seats look nice, where did you get them from? Are they the same ones as in rs4s and vxrs?
