ive had a trophy and megane r26..both great cars but different animals especially when i tweaked the meg to circa 280bhp with 340lb torque. Do you prefer turbo punch or the buzz of the n/a? the trophy was more nimble and tactile too. never had a problem with either car mechanically although the...

2008 08 Reg Glacier White Megane R26 for sale 10,300 miles All the usual R26 features with the following extras: Lux pack which includes, xenons, full leather interior with white stitching, keyless entry, autodim rear view mirror, auto lights, arm rest. The car also comes with Renault...

careful of the vx220 in the wet, a lack of concentration can lead to expensive repairs.... those clam-shells are not cheap!! 135/335 would be very enjoyable if they fall within your budget!

you have to gradully feed the power in on 1st and 2nd ,(only ham fisted driving in the lower gear will create a degree of wheelspin and that only really happens when the road is wet/damp), however from there on in no issues with the traction. It is also slightly quicker off the line to 60 than...

The R26 has standard 4 pot brembo calipers.... As i said on meganesport you wont regret your purchase.....however why bother with a stage 1 when you can have a stage 2 :D with a few choice mods on my R26 i'm running 282 BHp with a peak torque 340lbs with a stage 2.....it pulls like a train...

Jimbo - your problem seems more or less exactly what i experienced with the missus 182 cupped FF. Renualt garages could not diagnoise the problem. Another mechanic said it could be the crankshaft sensor....so i replaced that and still the same problem....eventually another mechanic looked at...

I just bought an R26 and coming from a Clio trophy and cupped 182 and i have the following comments: - Trophy has a keener turn in and has better steering feel (although Megane is impressive) - Megane has the edge on speed - Megane has superior brakes - Megane is more refined - Megane i think...

Has to be the P1 although i like the evo 6 (best evo IMO) but i dont like the extra body styling on the TM version. I was looking at P1's as the prices are very tempting, but alot of them have had recent engine rebuilds at a cost of £4K plus (and these were not high milage cars are modified)...

Sorry to here about the car.....perhaps it was just bad luck.......but having read various reports and threads on sites regarding turbo'd clios they can certainly be fragile and not very reliable depending on coversion quality and age (with a MK 1 even more so i would imagine). The gearboxes on...

One of the more amusing threads i've read this morning On a serious note street rasing isn't cool, if you ever experienced/witnessed serious crashes in the past, you'd learn that there's no place for driving like a complete lunitic on the public roads - especially in built up urban areas...

Re: clio 182 trophy for sale. fsh. mint. £6795 How does the LSD effect the trophy? does it create any real benefits? i looked at getting an LSD but for £1K excluding fitting seemed just too expensive for me.

I agree with G40steve, i thought the maxogen was great :D before the maxogen I had a K&N panel filter and there was no noticable difference over the OEM unit in terms of noise or performance

has a couple of complete time wasters, but the first genuine viewer bought it. It was approximately a month then i had to sort out a few paperwork issues that took up the best part of another month thnaks to the DVLA!

Cheers Matt We had his and her clio sports. I had no intention of selling the trophy but things change and I sold mine to pay for wedding as mine was worth a fair bit more, but we can still keep hold of hers. So im modding the one we have left...although i am not allowed to put an aftermarket...

Folks No 452 has now been moved on to another careful owner. I shall miss her she was one great car! been a pleasure meeting some of you guys and you have all been most helpful in answering my many queries. You wont get rid of me that easily.....i will still visit the site occasionally as i am...
