Stage 2 r26
- Thread starter bill
- Start date
Ha, its my old car so my brother goes halves on it with me now as I wanted a change but had already done loads to it so made sense to keep it as a track/ring car! Good thing we go halves cos mods and stuff are really expensive on the R, but they're brilliant cars. No faster than a 1*2 though but nicer to drive and more room.
Megane is all polybushed now, uprated pads, springs etc. Pretty much identical to your old one! Mines capped at 300lb/ft though and having my new wheels fitted tomorrow after work
If you want any pointers on a ctr i don't mind, had mine 7 years I think now

Sounds good, i keep meaning to read your thread and @imprezaworks, ( not sure i could keep up with his car threads though) What wheels you putting on?
So hows the ctr handle compared the r26? My mate went out in an evo on a trackday, and they could not keep with a ctr on slicks.
I will rattle your brain should i go ctr, wont be till near winter time though

No car. To speak of.
So time to update!
Got a message this morning off a nice chap from France, asking if this was my car old advertised on ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-57-...RS-TUNING-STG-2-RESERVED-197-200/192788906242
Sure enough it is, the guy ( sorry didn’t get your name ) travelled from France to purchase it, went on a test drive 2nd gear 4500rpm, and the engine went bang! He thinks it’s done a rod....
So he went home 600 miles later with nothing, fortunately it went bang before he purchased it.
Decided to message the dealer asking if the car was sold response was “the guy who was coming from France to buy the car never turned up, so it’s still available, but I’m away at the minute and will get in contact when I’m back if your interested”
Bullshit.

Hi there,
I'm the french guy in question. I was quite lucky for sure the car died during my test drive...
Just to ad more information, I messaged the seller after Bill told me he said I never showed up. I felt very sorry for him when it happened so when I learnt he wasnt telling the truth about the engine and said I never showed up while I lost my day and 600 miles to see this car I was really angry.
He answered me and was really pissed of. He accused me of bad driving and said I downshifted from 3rd to 2rd at high revs. He said I was lucky he let me left without asking me nothing. As I was pulling away from a red-light, I didn't even had the time to put the 3rd, the engine died after I put the 2rd and then decided to accelerate.
if I would have really messed up with the car, there is no way he would have let me leave like that, and I wouldn't have of course.
I truly think he wasn't paying attention and he is probably sure of what he says. After I left he may have ruminated and believed the only scenario is that I messed up rather than the engine ahd a weak...
Btw I hope everything is understandable, not that easy to express his thoughts through another language
