Tomsladen's Black R26 Daily

Discussion in 'Megane Projects' started by TomSladen, Sep 27, 2014.

  1. End of last year the megane was sold in favour of a Honda s2000. The s2000 lasted a few weeks until I found out the engine was a very poor quality build to cut a long story short

    So the s2000 was sold and I ended up back in the safe place of yet another Renaultsport megane 250 cup.

    Brief spec is as follows:

    Cae Shifter
    Uprated gearbox mount
    Middle box chop and decat.
    Bc coilovers
    Team dynamics Pro race 1.2 alloys with ps4 tyres
    Airtec intercooler
    Stage 1 rst map

    In terms of performance straight line speed isn't quite as quick as my old mk2, but the chasis is superb in terms of what it is capable of. BUT somehow (and I know other people will agree) no where near as rewarding or as fun to drive as a mk2.

    My plans with the car are 630cc injectors and a hybrid turbo next month. (250 turbo will be for sale if anyone interested)

    Below are a few pictures. 765480d1dc561ec281b3865552aea1b2.jpg a5c5649d2a0c8fd167e1ec4f23f884ca.jpg b59713a2d3d647ae80cbaf4e5d21628b.jpg 7f3f05c9ab7f48c8b63b7505c0bf51d1.jpg bcd9b20c3087e5597f3091a36d081916.jpg 6d8068132721ac21ab2d0c2660d5b99c.jpg baf5c5e04f34595488548254b00de374.jpg 1aa16593f49ab2ffce15ae4f0e08ec2b.jpg

    I used to have a 225 on 280BHP until he blew up but:cry: I agree with you, they're quicker in a straight line than the 250 and less fun to drive despite being much better in the corners.

  9. Oulton park on Monday evening. Car was spot on and I think it will be staying like this for the foreseeable future. Quick enough and fun enough as it stands. At the same time as being usable daily.
