  3. those are some impressive times, Snetton is a bit too far from me tempted by cadwell on the 8th as mentioned above checked online and looks like 4 r26 are already booked on. and then maybe one last time in aug / sept.
     
  4. Yeah Snett is a long way, very fast and technical and tbh I'd probably make a night of it. I am tempted to do Cadwell again after such a great day Sunday and I have 100 quid MSV voucher to use haha

    On another note got the Megane back from paint shop!

    The R spoiler really finishes them off, had the quarter repaint and blown in and the bit to the front due to poor previous job at Renault!

  8. Few bits I'll get done before hopefully
     
  9. So Donington was fun, 100 mile in 3 hours and just enough fuel left for the 12 mile journey home.

    Really can't fault this car it just seems to get quicker and quicker on track or maybe that's me lol.

    Bought some R fog light blanks of a chap on Facebook

    There's been a bit of a dodgy smell which has turned out to be a blow from downpipe so I've ordered a new gasket and some studs to resolve that from RPD.

    Also got some AST's on the way, the BC's have been great but the ride quality of the AST's when the going gets rough is just more superior which I can only put down to the valving in the shocks.

    Really want to take this car up a peg again this year so cage, plastic Windows and a brake up grade along with the AST's will hopefully take it there

  11. Cheers mate, I always wanted a white or LY but this come up at right price and looks good in some photos lol

  12. Nah silver is always a good colour. Wish I'd got a silver ctr. I'd like an LY but think it'd do my head in after a while. Bit brash. White definitely tho.
     
  13. Yeah plus yellow would be costly come painting time lol

    E1A6FB12-26D9-4CE4-9EB7-9EB7EAFCCA7F_zpspeudoixe.jpg

    A drive out round Wales with a few lads from RsMegane including @Gray and @TheRussian.

    Had a phone call from Curtis at AST today and fingers crossed I should be collecting them before the end of the week but no breath has been held lol.

    Also had a little delivered off RPD

    New exhaust gasket and lock nuts for the downpipe to sort out the pesky blow

    Rear gets rid of inboard springs and runs traditional coil-over-Spring setup!

    Ride quality is next level, some compliant and smooth probably better then standard and worlds apart from the BC's!

    No doubt down the the actual dampers though.

    Geo tomorrow and Trackday Wednesday

  21. So then been to get the alignment done, when stripping yesterday I made a small paint mark on the strut top.

    Paid off as the camber was bang on at 2 degrees, just the toe needed tweeking as if upset that slightly!

    Some guys run more camber but if I'm honest the Megane feels great and wears the tyres nice and evenly (except for Mallory, god dam Gerrards) so why change it........

  22. So then got a fair bit done recently!

    Swapped the downpipe and front wheel bearing, just a few more bits to do before Angelssey

    Oil and filter swap
    Bleed brakes
    Replace plugs and helicoil coil pack thread
    Swap pads and try and jiggle the exhaust some more!

    Pictures to come tomorrow haha

    But in the mean while I've got a new toy on the way!

    Total contrast I know but there's a story behind it [emoji106]

    So I've always been a closet scooter fan, you could say it's in my blood so to speak.

    Back when I was 16 I had one albeit nothing as classy but it was a Peugeot variant dripping in P&M tuning goods but back to it!

    My late uncle who passed away a good 13 years ago at the age of 37 was big into vespas and lambretta's and the whole skinhead/mod thing and had a collection of them.

    Since then my auntie has remarried again to a top chap called Jon, and guess what he's into them in a big way! Has a collection of around 7 scoots one of me late uncles he's kept running and looking great [emoji106]

    Anyway long story short he's recently took delivery of a 200cc Scomadi last week that he's been waiting a long while for! There basically a modern remake based on a lambretta 200gp and have been designed and developed by 2 British companies one being P&M tuning and the other being lambretta innovations! They've gone down a storm on the scene too!

    Anyway I saw jons and loved it so took a trip to a local dealer, 15 minutes later I'd put a deposit down on a mint green TL!

    As you can imagine this will be getting fettled with [emoji106]
