UR Megane R26

[Scutch]

My scangauge is under my stereo.

Have you drilled through to route the cable to the OBD port?

 

[Feirny]

Yeah, just a small hole and fed it through, it's only like an Ethernet cable type thing.

 

[david hodson]

I have a defi boost gauge , its not cheap as you also need the control box II to run them , but then you can run many gauges all linked to the control box

 

[Matt e]

have you got any videos of the milltek?

Bizarrely, that's one thing I don't really have. Other than this:

I had a play around with my Scangauge last night mate. Seems decent enough. However, how the hell do you route the cable up from the ODB port? It's tight as hell around there and I can't even see where I'm supposed to feed the cable up. I also got the connector stuck which took an age to get back off :clown:

I have tiny hands, but I took the centre console off as I fitted my parrot kit at the same time.

Ahh, centre console off. That would probably do it. Did you not think about routing it up to the clock pod? Your new found alcantara skills would have made that look quite cool.

It's on the list, but it needs fibre glassing to make it fit. Plus I'd have to change my stereo too.

Loved the sound of the Miltek on my 225. Sounds so meaty if that makes sense. The pops and bangs that come of it are ridiculously funny too.

It's quieter than I thought TBH! Was with Jacob the other night.

I'll take you for a spin in mine... that opinion will soon change.

This thing on full bore is insane. It'll be like Keiron's (Gray) It's only cat-back too. I'm tempted to go full system with the decat but it'll need remapped by Paul I think and it's already on it's limit, injector/turbo/clutch wise. Although a very safe limit, stage 1 map with .5 on top. Chris wanted it to be quicker/power but with reliability.

The one thing annoying me at the moment is the drivers side window. It's so f*cking temperamental. I can press the button to put it back up and it goes down. Stupid thing. Sometimes takes 3 attempts to get it back up.

 

[Feirny]

I'm tempted to go full YOLO and remove my decals.

If anything a decat will take strain off the turbo, less spool time and you'll be running the same amount of boost pressure but making more BHP... They also run cooler with a decat fitted IMO.

But it will be quite loud. :race:

I am actually considering the same... mentals.

It'll need a remap though to get the best out of it, right? I may just leave it. It's very responsive currently and I'm wondering why Chris left it without the decat in the first place - he seemed to know what he was doing. Unless it was for track restrictions etc.

I've also just bought a new style RS badge for the rear, which I'll have coloured like Tim's old one:

Yeah it will need the map tweaking, I imagine Paul would charge an hours dyno time @ £100.

I've got the same rear RS badge, nice touch to the rear

I've bought some of those cube window regulator things. Mine work OK atm, but just in case.

 

[Iain C]

Good looking car that. Ur is the best colour for the r26.

Do link me up, mate, as I'm not paying £350+ for maintenance.

I think the last time I took it in Renault paid 70% of the costs, because it's a common problem, but I'm not sure if that's still the case.

You lose the one touch operation, but they should be more reliable. Can be installed without taking the while door apart.

 

[Scutch]

Cheers Warren. Excellent that.

 

[Scutch]

Few snaps from the weekend. Still scrubs up quite well
Will be up for sale shortly after Christmas.

 

[Philip.]

My favourite Megane! Lovely dude.

 

[Mr Burns]

+1
That's the best looking Megane I've seen, and I'm considering one myself... Just joined up on RS Megane.com.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Very nice indeed, some nice subtle additions :up:

 

[Stefan.]

So nice

What will it be going up for?

 

[ForceIndia]

Lovely. Don't forget to sell me the wheels.

 

[_Tom]

Favourite Meg I think. Clean and simple.
What's she being advertised for?

 

[Scutch]

Less than £9k

 

[_Tom]

Yours for only £8995..

 

[Sam]

Lovely that mate.

 

[Gavin.]

Looks good man. I need to get myself an R26.r spoiler.

 

[Scutch]

48k miles it's done now. Haven't drove that much because the BMW is my daily, but always nice during the winter to stretch its legs. 12 months tax just paid for, too, but car will be going this year as running them both is mental.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Such a cracking motor, got a price in mind for when you sell?

 

[Scutch]

Over £8k and less than £9k

 

[AK]

Lol it doesn't matter if you've taxed it for a year anymore

 

[Scutch]

Lol it doesn't matter if you've taxed it for a year anymore :wink:

Same.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

You'll probably hear this a thousand times but if I had the money I'd be coming down for the car tomorrow haha!

I miss my Megane A LOT.

 

[Cub.]

Lovely, hope it goes to a good home!
