Matts Red 250 Cup

  1. Just ordered front and rear anti roll bars and full super pro bush kit
     
  2. Not sure the ARBs are worth it - I didn't bother with the rear on mine, it's stiff already, and the front makes fook all difference from the standard one

    Be interesting to see if you notice a difference at the rear mate

    You doing any track days 10/11 Dec?
     
  3. The rear makes a huge difference on a Clio 1*2 but the rear beam is a bit sloppy out of the box.
    Not sure how it will affect the Meg though, will be interesting to see!
     
  4. I've been told the rear makes a massive difference so may as well do the lot whilst at it

  7. I think I've seen your car at Bedford a while back - I was in a white e92 M3 running Intrax suspension and we had a few spirited laps. Great fun that..

    Can't recall your plate though....

  9. We may very well have crossed paths there. I've had a few good laps with some e92 m3s

  10. Ah ok. Maybe it was another Meg then. Think it was 7/Nov/15, so a while back..

    Anyway - your car looks ace. Liking the seats...

  11. Not much been going but hey. Last year car was insane I must say renaults get so much stick for reliability but this car *touchwood* has done in my ownership 17 track days 3 trips to the ring and 26k miles and has been nothing short of spectacular. As with all performance cars it's not cheap to keep perfect but it's had done whatever it's needed and as such repaid me with some massive smiles.

    This year I plan on much of the same so many track days and ring trips. I've booked spa for Oct 2nd and hope to do dn17 track day at nurburgring on may 2nd and should be at Snetterton on 28th January.

    Plans this year? Not much cars pretty much perfect but I have front and rear anti roll bars and bushes to be fitted and I'll be ordering g some stiffer 110/170 front springs and who knows what wheels I go through.

    May this year brings many more miles with smiles

  23. Not sure I'll be selling them yet bro I'll be using the rays as road wheels
     
  24. They on yet?
     
  25. Tomorrow bro.

    Left the car with friends of mine to modify my turretts to allow camber adjustment to be done without dropping the suspension every time (damn you renault) he's added a ring and welded it all up for strength and to keep it looking as oem as possible

  26. Just a heads up - Abbey told me that with the amount of work needed, it may be an MoT fail

    Looks properly done though mate
     
  27. mie

    mie

    Great idea [emoji1303]
    Did he paint it from underneath?
     
  28. I'd be very surprised if an MOT guy spots it's not oem but we will soon see
     
  29. That is dope mate. Why would it fail an MOT? it's a proper job. No way your average grease monkey will identify that. Not in a million years.

  30. Hopefully not, just relaying what I was told. I think it's been done well enough for nobody to spot it
     
  31. I assume because you are not supposed to modify suspension points is why it would fail. But yes it's a good job so I think it would go unnoticed by most.

  37. Initial thoughts on the ARB? assuming you've driven it? :grinning:
     
  38. Only drove it home as I needed to head out but turn in feels a lot sharper so hoping for good things tomorrow
     
  39. Even with the ohlins on mine set to their hardest setting I notice that when I turn sharply the back end takes a second or so to catch up. I had updated bars on my saxo years ago and I remember it making a huge huge difference. I bet they will work well on your Meg.
