Hi Everyone,
Just a bit of background before we start,
I use to own a very nice Liquid Yellow R26 for over 2 years but sadly I couldn’t sell it for what I wanted for it so stripped it for parts at the beginning of this year.
42556711460
Stripping Megane 225/R26’s is nothing new to me as I’ve been doing it since buying the Liquid Yellow R26 as I like to know how a cars put together so what better way to learn than taking one apart right? :an:
Anyway back on track, I’ve just become the owner of @Spooky old track prepped 225 Lux. The car has some very nice parts already fitted such as the BC coilovers, Megane R26.R alloys and Renaultsport Sabelt bucket seat to name a few.

So what’s the plans i here you cry? Well I’ve just breaking an accident damaged R26 and have taken the following bits from it to put on the 225 Lux
43458496315
*R26 rear beam (has Anti roll bar fitted unlike 225 Lux/Cup models)
*R26 steering rack (believed to be different from 225 Lux model)
*R26 Front Anti Roll Bar (21mm compared to 20mm found on 225 Lux)
*Standard bootlid and spoiler
*Nearly new Fuel Pump
*Milltek 2.75 Exhaust system

Other plans are to Sell the R26.R Alloys And Carbon Fibre R26.R spoiler to fee some cash up for Decat, Intercooler, 630cc Injectors and Remap.
You will have some holes in your bootlid if you sell the R26R spoiler! Dont do it man!
Good upgrades either way.
Spare bootlid and spoiler are same colour so straight swap over
So made some progress today on the car.
Sadly the R26.R Carbon Spoiler has been sold but it was always my intention to sell fancy bits like the spoiler and alloys so I could spend the rest on an R26 LSD gearbox and performance upgrades.
So spoiler removed (started to pee down so no time to swap bootlids over)

Then my next breaker turned up
43607632845
And I found a goldmine of parts in the boot! the seller said he had a few bits he was going to include but didn’t think it would be all this.

So now I have a full Powerflex handling kit for the car along with full Powerflex engine mount kit along with a brand new Direnza black intercooler!
When people tell me that it’s usually a set of second hand spark plugs and a set of cheap rear pads!
So spent yesterday stripping the Inferno breaker ready for buyer of engine to collect later next week.
While snooping through the service history i came across a recepit for a recent clutch fitment within the last 2k.
Was pleasantly surprised to find this fitted and like new!

looks in great shape and as I’m planning on winding up the power up it will come in handy!
Got a few purchases to pick up this week to move the project on so planning to take it off the road.over winter and have it done ready for next year.
So I’ve got some time off this week and in between painting/DIY I’m hoping to do some bits on the Megane
First up was changing the boot lids over. The one that came on the car when I bought it had a genuine Carbon Fibre R26.R spoiler that I sold to raise some funds for other goodies for this project.
After said spoiler had been removed and sold it left some unsightly holes and glue residue from standard 225 spoiler.

Que me digging through my pile of parts harvested from a previous R26 that I broke and 10 mins later we had a new boot lid fitted with no more nasty holes! 
Still need to solder all wires up etc but looks better already IMO

Only other thing to report is that the postman kindly dropped some Powerflex ARB bushes through the letter box. These with all the other Powerflex goodies I have I hope will make it onto the car sometime this week.

So having this week off has worked out well for me so far. Granted not much DIY has been done and the O/H will no doubt give me a ear bashing but it means I’ve had more time to do car stuff.
A lad was breaking his R26 on Facebook and was selling the parts off quickly as he needed the cash for a new car so cue a 3 hour drive to Telford for these

The all important gearbox code
44012140225
And some Deka 630cc injectors ready for when its remap time
44012139755
So the buying bug continues! Spotted these on a Facebook Megane sport page and had to have them as they were silly cheap.

Those who know the Megane 225/R26 range know that the cars already come with Brembo 4 pot calipers as standard so why buy these I hear you cry?
The ones pictured above are actually from the Megane RS 250/265/275 range and are bigger and as I keep telling SWMBO bigger is always better right? 
The kit in production means I can used the 342mm discs from the 250/265/275 range for better stopping power over the standard 225 set up.
Are these from John Burley? Or have part of his kit on?
Yes i’ll be buying the rest of the bits off John Burley for the conversion.
So bought a few bits for the Megane RS250 brake conversion.

I know I can buy a kit off the shelf for this to work but this is meant to be a “budget” track car so where ever I can save money towards more bits I plan to. A mate who’s a CNC engineer is going to maker some brackets for me ready for the calipers for some beer tokens.
Next step is a rollcage of some description!
Did you skimlink those bits buddy?
I beleive so!
Opened them up on Ebay, copy and pasted them, shut down original window, posted the post and then clicked links to buy said items. Hope thats the correct way 
So after talking to a fellow Megane owner about the conversion we have found something that we think will surffice as a bracket/caliper spacer without having brackets made up.

Hopefully 4 of those and bobs your uncle!
