John's Ultra Blue R26

Discussion in 'Megane Projects' started by John.C, Jul 28, 2013.

  1. Two very nice looking cars there but would agree john needs a spoiler :tongueout:
     
  2. Dave , it's not that good
     
  3. im sure it wont affect my rear downforce to bad in a fwd hatch haha. plus mines an R26 and wont be an R26R no matter whats bolted onto it.
     
  4. Are you saying mines not an r now
     
  5. Haha well maybe if you squint a bit. I suppose it comes from when I had my fiesta st and meets were flooded with focus st's with rs wheels, spoilers and a remap claiming all kinds of performance. Alot more subtle thankfully on the meganes though.

    Dave
     
  6. I just did it because i like the look not because i was pretending to be something else anyone who lnows anything about megs can tell its not an r
     
  7. Exactly mate. I think the vast majority on owners do it for the same reason. I wouldnt say no to a set of .R buckets though that's for sure!

    Dave.
     
  8. You should try mine Dave, more comfortable than the trendlines, and you don't move you can feel everything through your arse mate
     
  9. well ive just placed an order with Ktec for some mounts :blush:. ill stop whoring johns thread now though and revert back to my own.
     
  10. Well if you want to meet up give me a call mate
     
  11. Stunning car mate, great work!


    Quick question...I'm after adding a HID kit, led fogs and led interior lights like you have. Do you have a link to the kits/led's you bought or could you point me in the right direction please mate. Was the HID you bought a canbus type?


    Thanks,


    David.
     
  12. Was just gonna ask what the fogs were
     
  13. Great thread. Look forward to spotting you round Preston!
     
  14. Not updated this for a while .. I'll have a look on eBay and post a few links

    My cars changed quite allot now .. Should get round to doing an update shouldn't i
     
  15. right then ...

    for the interior you want 501 LED's

    I used something along the lines of these , there are many on ebay so have a look and take your pic

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-501-T...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45febd5e5b

    I used some higher wattage LED 501's in the headlights

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-501-T1...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item417b564082

    and H11 LED for the Fogs

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-H11-X...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f39b3ea07

    Headlights were H7 6000k Hid - 35w

    Generally i would say buy a set from a seller based in the UK so if you have any faulty items you can exchange them .. also don't buy the cheap sets they will fail , spend a few quid and try to get Bulbs with metal bases these should be higher quality :smiley: H7r if i remember correctly , these also have different length lamps so should retain a better beam from the headlights

  16. I'll help you out with the update when I've leathered it round oulton on the 27th
     
  17. Great! Thanks a lot for the help :smile:
     
  18. Cheers john I've put the led in sidelights number plate lights and internal lights along my xenons never thought of buying led fogs I'll get some ordered
     
  19. Ha ha ... Then you will realise how much faster than an R it is :wink:
     
  20. John,

    Did you find the LED sidelights you bought to be a good match with the HID's? I have bought the HID's which you recommended and want to buy sidelights now. Are the eBay ones you posted the same colour as the HID's?
     
  21. well ... its been a while lol ...

    so the buckets are in , got some K-tec subframes , mounted the passenger fixed and the drivers on a runner/slider

  22. You forgot to mention the adjustable top mounts you've got as well
     
  23. They are top secret nob ed
     
  24. Gavin.

    Gavin. RSM Admin

    LOL! Looks well that.
     
  25. I never mentioned camber
     
  26. Should have camber pretty soon .. And yep cooksports and standard shocks

    I presume this is Josh lol
     
  27. Or was josh .. Looks like it was deleted ha ha
     
  28. Looking good john. A bit different from last time I saw it......
    lee
     
  29. Cheers ... Probably standard last time you saw it .. At Cadwell wasn't it ?
     
  30. Last time I saw it i spanked it round cadwell in the rain , those tyres are awesome in the wet
     
  31. yes it was pretty standard. Iirc it was stuck in reverse near the enterence....
    lee
     
  32. Never been stuck in reverse ...
     
  33. Who's car was it with gearbox probs then. Could have sworn it was you.
     
  34. Ahh that was old John .. Blew his gearbox that day .. In the Black R26
     
  35. That was it... I'll hopefully get a few track days in myself. Weather it will be in my meg or m3 is anyone's guess.
    Lee
     
  36. The M3 would be good .. Probably cost a fortune in fuel

    I fancy bobing over to the Cliosport Saturday at Blyton , should be a good day out
     
  37. What did you do with the cooksports john when you fitted the coilovers?? Car looks fantastic by the way.
     
  38. Cheers .. I sold the cooksports and then ended up buying another set
     
  39. Haha, ok fair enough. Just after a set so thought i would ask just incase you had them sitting about!! Keep up the good work

    How is the seats with the slider, Any movement with it?

    I have a Profi SPG to go in mine but others may still drive it on track so thinking of getting a sliding rail as well instead of it being mounted straight to the subframes.

    Also is your cage literally just bolted in? No spreader plates?
