Default Where have I been then

Well I had an sti 2.5 prodrive pack, loved it but I just got sick o the big bills and silly insurance quotes, anyway I sold it and went a couple of months without a car while I decided which route I wanted to go, ended up buying an R26on a 58 plate which I fell in love with, all I can say is these things are awesome , so much so after owning it for 18 months and around 15 hard track days it never ever put a foot wrong, needless to say 3 weeks ago I bought an R26.R in white and wow it's awesome in every way, it now sits on AST adjustable coilovers and a set of PF 330 break kit and I just can't see me parting with it in years to come and hope to do many more trac k days starting this weekend at Anglesey, anyway that's where I've been.
All the best

We have Megane Sport 225,which is OK for daily driving,recently have fitted PF pads,Forge FMIC,Quaife LSD etc.,running around 270bhp,but still power delivery is not as good like on Subaru with similar bhp.

Megane are OK,just something there is what is missing for me and this is easy to upgrade without the breaking the bank.

Ask yourself how much you will pay for 400-450bhp package on your R26 and how much will this cost on the Subaru STi with 2.0L.

Both have circa 320bhp

How much cost R26.R?

And how much cost Spec C?

I would choose Spec C everytime.

I think you've come to the wrong forum, perhaps a Renault forum might be better for you?

Wow, awsome, I can't drive a new renault for more than an hour because the magnification on the windscreen gives me a headache, but obviously your vision is impaired along with your judgement.

We never missed you, so **** off back to where you've been, and close the door on yer way out, froggy.
