Hey guys =)

Hiya guys, hope ya all well!

kinda not new to the Megane scene, have had a 1.5dci for the past 5 years, not the same i know, but ive been in the clio scene for many years, was Dancliovalver on Cliosport/Williamsclio/C16V, but now on the look out for an RS Megane

im hopefully going to look at one in Leicester tomorrow, it does have a MeganeSport.net sticker in the back so just thought if anybody knows the car at all, i kow this is a different forum but have been referred to here by a member over there. numberplate is NA57 UEW, a silver R26 =), you perhaps seems alittle too cheap to be true?

anyways guys, just thought id say hello

Dan

 

hey guys, thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

haha ya have a good eye there Boardy =), its the first one ill be going to look at, but i usually test drive a load and the ones i like ill do more extensive checks, HPIs, maybe even AA check but its a good starter and closest to myself. is there a massive difference between a Cup and an R26? because at the minute its a choice between a Megane and an STi Impreza

 

and another thing as well all these little marks could get me alittle more money off if they arent sure what they arr actually selling ay

 

oh dear, sorry to hear that bud, hope its all sorted now though =). thanks for the advice. so it terms of tuning the megane which is the best way to go, all the Meganes i have looked at over the past few years all seem to be around the 270bhp mark, is that just an easy lvl before you have to start throwing serious money at them or is it pure coincidence =)?

 

okay thanks mate, and how do they fair round track, i was very track orientated in my younger years (making myself sound old, im only 28 lol), always nice to hear from people who have experienced it

 

id love to own an R, sadly too far out of my price range, and just a poor factory worker haha, but work hard for my money, and feel like treating myself

 

i work near Arnold Steve, i think our actual postal address for work is Daybrook, but we are on Sherbrook road. well the last time i owned a decent car was about 4 years ago when i had my ph1 172, sent that round track a few times and absolutely loved it! then i went sensible and bought my megane dci but i had a 1200 suzuki bandit for the speeding pleasure, however since moving to west bridgford i havemt used my bike so that is going and making way for a car again =)

 

ahhh i see, where abouts, im in the flats on Wenlock Drive just off Melton Road, really nice round here, im a Leicestershire lad originally,, still play rugby for melton mowbray and have my season ticket for the Tigers but all my mates and work is over in notts so made the move =)

 

theres a very nice looking Trophy for sale on here by a forum member on here in the for sale section, are the trophys just a limited edition or do they have some special unique little trick bits about them =)? sorry to ask all the newbie questions, you have all been very helpful so far

 

ahhhhh yeah Thursday night at the Lion was always £1.50 to get in then it was £1 a drink, carnage haha! no i dont think ive ever played stamford, played Oakham a fair few times, am in Stamford tomorrow night, my cousin has just moved there, small world!

 

Lol they are some very random names for pubs and clubs indeed! I took a date to stamford a few weeks back to the cosy club, seemed alright in there, quite chilled

So im gunna go take a look at the R26 today, will let you all know what its like, and thanks for the haggling tips

 

Wasnt in too bad a condition, certainly would need a new front bumper, the grill has broken off the clips, there was no history of belt changes or anything to do with the hubs, and the guy who owned the place didnt really seem that bothered about trying to sell it, ran out of petrol in the forecourt, kinda put me off, and i know the price isnt too bad he wouldnt budge on the price at all. Its only the first ive looked at so hopefully be others soon

 

Yeah im haply to travel over the country, it makes no difference to myself , good opportunity to test the car on way back . Im West Bridgford, Notts bud so pretty central ha. Keep looking at the Trophy in the for sale section, very nice, fancy the LSD though

 

Yeah i did think about that, does a diff really make alot of difference? I only ask because ive never driven anything with one before haha

 

See, this is why i sign up to forums, brilliant "bread and butter" advice which is just what im after, thank you very much fellas, i will certainly hold out for an R26 (no offence to any other Megane drivers) cheers guys.

Might keep any eye on that megane on ebay, if he still hasnt sold it in a week i might go and make him another offer, at least enough so i can get a new bumper and get belts done for peace of mind
