The lad i raced had my mate in his car i was on shit tyres too he was livid, so much so he broke his car for parts as rs couldnt make it quicker then not long after he put a 400bhp r26 on fb with returnless fuel system with walbro 255 but it wasnt possible months earlier bollocks we've seen his maps an there well held back to make more money on stage 17.5

 

Zx volcane what a beast had an ax gt for 3 months till it blew up had all the pugs 205's 309's all the vauxhalls even had a mazda 323 bf turbo then 323 bg gtr both mega money now then i went renault an never looked back almost this was my ashtray gte somebody welded the n/s bottom arm pikey fuckers

 

Brand new gte you flash bastard although engine early 20xe coscast lump is epic a mate of mine has one making 230bhp on bodies in a classic rally manta but 150bhp in a bogo ashtray with gte stickers which is all it was is too much from experience

 

Ive heard much the same pal people go because of the hype an back in the day megs were rated at 350lbs of torque then a few blew up at the hand of rs an it was renaults fault poor build quality yet my last r26 was running 320lbs without fault when i got it we had to bench map as it was locked by rs an it made 262bhp at 10afr at wot with a cat so prob richer than that did 18mpg was terrible to drive with supporting mods an proper map it made 292/320 an loved it an i drove it as intended

 

Wow first car thats pretty epic pal my mg maestro was cheaper to insure than a mini as i was in an mg owners club plus was in the army on a locked camp mini was my second car when the maestro blew up then the ax gt then pugs then vaux it went downhill after the mini tbh, xr3i 1.8 16v off my uncle for 300 notes 3 grand a year to insure utter shite then mazda turbos the list is long an low quality but fun all the same my dads fault

 

Not good pal although i got pistons an rods off rs but got no paperwork for gapping rings so i called but he wouldnt help even tho i spent 900 quid with him i only got his secretary. engine dynamics had a deal on at the time same as his but i never knew this but got valve springs from them an they gave me a rough estimate for my mods an were very helpfull

 

Mine has gone from 69 per month for the rangie to 22 per month for the meg cant beat that as the rangie is just a status symbol an the meg is a blast the closest i came to an uno turbo was a mk1 punto turbo off an army buddy of mine what a shitbox, it was a typical squaddie motor but way worse x10 the engine was almost out of the car standard punto fault plus no straight panels at all straight swap for my nova gte dodged a bullet i reckon

 

All over that pal jay is well in the know on the mapping scene there is only a few who write there own for any vehicle vags are the worst an the main man in that game blows up golf r's for laughs an cant be blamed sounds like another tuner i know but point the finger an youll loose your maps i guess

 

Exactly what i thought spoke to the bloke an hes a sound fella tbh dont worry mr evans ill get it collected an fixed very reasuring so its going back today ill keep you posted pal

 

Car is going back tomorrow an a courtesy car is being dropped off looking good so far ive told him what i think the issue is an he didnt flinch just said no worries we'll sort it most dealers would wince at the thought of replacing clutch an flywheel this guy seemed happy i suppose time will tell

 

The car is with the garage who do all the work for staffs autos, an what a place loads of high end german motors on site as hes a german car guru all uniformed staff, clean garage an the boss seemed knowledgeable what more could you ask. I told him my issues an he said no worries ill call you when its sorted an i left in a mint 56 plate vw polo courtesy car all seems good so far

 

Thank you very much for the support pal, i hope he comes through too cos ive driven the car now an its really nice, its still razor sharp even with odd tyres on and apart from the vibration from the dmf no nasty knocks or noises either so its a keeper hopefully

 

Update on the new meg ian, on tuesday of next week the garage is fitting an r26r solid flywheel an clutch they were having trouble finding oem parts at a decent price due to the deadly virus an people not being in work so i spoke to pure motorsport an they sorted the whole lot an its bought an fitted under warranty also this is not the start of mods on this "staying standard vehicle" its more for the flywheel just lasting longer

 

My red one the light came on every now an again due to the flywheel never made any difference though i cant wait to drive it again an see if it feels any different over stock. its actually worked out quite well as a good stage 1 map from my mate will eat a well used stock clutch in no time so i dont have that worry now bollocks to it let the mods begin
