New addition..

[SharkyUK]

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!?!?!!? :clown:

Is your good lady happy with the decision?

 

[Chi]

Yes feels it but certainly quick enough for me..

 

[S_E_A_N]

Did you not have a 205 gti for track, what happened to that?

what does you missis say about all these cars she must be a very chilled lady lol.

 

[Chi]

Yes mate I have a 205 and ph1 both caged and track ready.. I just felt that this ticked all the boxes.
She is very chilled

 

[Djw John]

You must be hung like an elephant. I thought my wife was patient.

 

[dmallett]

Tragic, i dont actually understand the decision at all.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Seems a retarded decision to me. Your car though so your choice!

 

[Cub.]

I have to say Chi, I'm a little confused at this one.

 

[Chi]

I guess I wanted a turbo with LSD. . Rather than spend 2k on the 20vt this made more financial sense.. The car is easier to drive due to retaining power steering and I would feel a lot more confident on track.

 

[Daz.]

I want to see more pictures!

 

[dmallett]

Get some more pictures of it!!

I can see where you're coming from As long as the engine and box hold up ok. Just keep the gear changes smooth and don't launch it.

Yeah I noticed in your for sale listing for the grey one it had no PAS, which on a front heavy high powered turbo car isn't ideal.

 

[LiamR172]

More photos mate

 

[Chi]

 

[Matt_90]

Loose the side skirts and the 17's and your on to a winner.. However the styling doesn't surprise me considering the place you bought it from!

I have seen this around in the past thought, I think the previous owner attended a few of the Camberley meets in the past.

 

[Chi]

I like it tbh but appreciate everyone's comments. Maybe not one to take to meets though haha

 

[LiamR172]

Jesus.. i thought it was going to be a snowplow but its alright haha. Just the wheels and skirts need changed

 

[Chi]

So many haters lol... ill take the R26 to meets

 

[LiamR172]

No haters mate. Its not as bad as alot of cars on here thats for sure

Alot better than i was expecting it to be

 

[S_E_A_N]

The fact it has those wheels and skirts actually makes it great bait at the traffic lights i bet, people wont be expecting it to be turbo'd intercooler could be done black for abit more stealth.

Now your talking.. Ive actually got a carbon cover the seller had made up..

Big Ripspeed sticker in the back window or somthing along those lines to really annoy/bait someone.

Or, fit 1.2 bumpers, poverty spec side strips etc, some steelies from another Renault so abit wider but stock looking to most, so it looks like a bog standard 1.2.. Im getting carried away now lol, but i like the sleeper idea.

 

[imprezaworks]

1.2 badges

 

[Chi]

Tbh it looks quick, badges wouldn't fool anyone. .

 

[Ph1 Tom]

The skirts look a bit like an EP3

lsd for a vag box is quite cheap anyway.
i could have sorted you out with one for under 600 quid.

 

[imprezaworks]

Now you tell him lol

Lol.

If I was Chi, I would be contacting you to map the car before that Ktec map kills the engine.

 

[Rob]

:slap:

 

[Chi]

The build was originally done in 2005 I think. Seller has had it since 2009 and maintained it regardless of cost. Map seems ok but I wouldn't mind getting it on a RR for a printout.

 

[Rob]

How many car's are you planning on keeping then Chi?

Just for peace of mind, I'd not have it RR'd, I'd actually have the map independently looked at. Better safe than sorry.

A power run that includes an AFR reading would be a good place to start.

 

[Stefan.]

How many miles has the previous owner done in it, i never see it move from that same spot, on the number of times i have driven past.

I think 4 or 5 would be a nice amount. . It does have a couple of printouts but they're a few years old. I will try and get it to EFI asap..

That's what I'll do then.

In the 5 years he's owned it, it's done 25k. Current miles is 54k. . Its been maintained regardless of cost. .

 

[Chip-mk1]

Are you far from Blackpool?

Motorsport developments would be a very good place to take it if you can manage to get it booked in there (they tend to be booked up a long way in advance but if its just for a power run you might be ok)

 

[Chi]

Blackpool is about 75 miles away. EFI is about 30.. I believe there's a place in Flint (North Wales) marinemackay2003 told me about. Who can map it if need be? Chip-mk1 inbox is full

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah EFI is a good shout

You're a bit limited by the Gen90 in terms of who will be able to map it as it requires the dongle and software.

Limited to who? Just tried googling it but no joy!

 

[Coops Mk1]

KTEC, lol!

 

[Chi]

I know RS Tuning can do it too.. I think its perfect tbh very happy.
