You haven't bought that and if it's not an R26 you've purchased I'll be disappointed

LOL....only having a laugh...

I think I've pretty much decided that I shall have myself an R26. Blue or yellow would be the preference.

Will spend the rest of the year sorting out the bodywork (as the rest of the car is awesome!!) and look to acquire the Megane in the new year..!


TT

went on a France trip last year with a handful of hot hatches and the r26 f1 was the most impressive for me.

Megane 225 F1 is a limited run of cars to commemorate Renault winning the F1 championship.

Cars were all Ultra blue bar 6 mega rare black ones.

Came with blue/black recaros and a few stickers. These are the only differences over a standard 225.

The one to go for is an Renaultsport Megane R26 as there come with a better suspension set up and the LSD as standars

This is silver

Yes you'll get a cracker for 7k!

Bought mine for 5k and it's got some nice bits on it but I've sunk another 2k into in but will be 300bhp soon!

Yeah cant wait and TBH so far most of the 2k has gone on all new suspension,timing belt/water pump and a SMF with R26.R clutch

Have you driven one yet?

I have to go against the grain here when it comes to the Megane, though your certainly doing the right thing in regards to only considering an R26, but in my opinion which is based around owning a late low miles 225 which was subsequently upgraded and spending time on the forums, I don't feel they are a particularly good car or indeed anything special to drive. The chassis is fundamentally good as are the brakes, but the gearchange is terrible, the throttle unresponsive and the steering limited in feel, the engine to me always felt very mundane, even uprated whilst it clearly had the power, it was never exciting or enjoyable to extend. Which may be why so many people chase power with them, even at stage 1 the power is plenty, making them actually fun to steer is the issue imo.

On top of this the build quality and rattles are just plain annoying, and they suffer their fair share of electrical issues, I guess its worth remembering that by the R26 they were a previous generation car, and to me they feel it.

Of course everything can be improved, R26R shortshift helps the gearchange, ditching the dual mass flywheel supposedly improves the throttle etc etc, but for me I'd take a renaultsport clio everytime, and if I simply wanted a faster car, a renaultsport megane wouldn't figure.

I use a standard flywheel and a helix clutch with no bother
