-KarL-'s LY R26 Progress Thread

[-KarL-]

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

Love it mate, cant wait to see it when we go to RST, you'll have to give me a quick ride out in it when you get chance

 

[Reyes]

I could cry. I miss my Megane. Looks lovely.

Polarized bolts nom noms, where did you get them polarized from?

This is awesome! Sorry if I act inappropriately around it at rstuning... I just love liquid yellow r26's. That spoiler finishes it perfectly!

[Liquid yellow 182]

Also that site doesn't let you order from it or am I being blind/dumb? Would like to get some

 

[TimR26]

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

 

[Jimbo_M]

This is awesome! Love the carbon r26r spoiler

 

[-KarL-]

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]

That is lovely. Spoiler finishes it off a treat.

 

[jesus]

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

 

[Stefan.]

[Bobby.]

I'm liking r26's so much atm can you feel the slip diff working in the bends?

 

[Sam]

Very nice Karlos.

 

[-KarL-]

[twingors]

[AdammRW]

plates arnt illegal, theyre legal size and have proof of purchase/where theyre from at the bottom right of the plate.

im genuinly in love with this car btw

 

[Sir_Dave]

Why do all mapped Megane's have that weird power/torque spike at 2750rpm ?

 

[Hutchie]

[fez]

[.GAZ.]

Belter Karl, give me a shout when you're selling it!

 

[-KarL-]

[Bobby.]

That going to look sweet. Where did you get them from, streamline?

 

[Chapppers11]

The colour of this one is amazing!

 

[Jimbo_M]

They should look spot on mate, the quality looks good too...streamline by any chance?

 

[-KarL-]

Yeah streamline, quality is perfect!

Just need some dry weather now!

 

[Craig.M]

i dont usually like the mk2 megs but yours well mint bud, defo stands out anyway

 

[-KarL-]

A quick picture of them fitted.

 

[bmh.01]

Why do all mapped Megane's have that weird power/torque spike at 2750rpm ?

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:

Not updated this in a while so here goes!

Got my handles skinned in carbon fibre

Got my pillars coverd by Austin

And i also got some R26.R wheels
