Oooo the Technomagnesio's look good! Look a bit like a Compomotive MO5 (flat face variant).
Nice addition to the collection that 250, looks like it is in great condition aswell!

Cheers mate! It was certainly a slow process getting in touch with the previous owner but got there eventually.I believe I messaged the guy who owned the 250 a while back after he posted on FB but I never heard anything back.
Good purchase
Cheers mate! The technos do indeed look like comp mo. Suit the megane shape well. 250 turned out to be a great buy, mrs is very happy with it.

Updates.
CSF done and dusted.
R26 performed excellent and made decent pace, handling felt awesome and was very easy to drive after pedalling the Extra van in the am session.
Weather was great so absolutely made the right tyre choice running the Ar1's.
Ready for action.
Man and machine.
Hot lapping.
N/s front tyre took a beating. I would have needed to rotate if doing a full day.
Scrubbed in.
Returned home with no fuss and give it the post trackday look over.
574 miles done in total over the weekend.
It does need a couple of bits doing, noted a bit of play on the N/S front wheel bearing. Ive been monitoring this for a while and it did sound like it was getting a bit noisy on heavy load, not surpising as its the original by looks of it at 137k. The hub nut had also backed off a little on this side when checked with torque wrench so suggests that might have played a part in it. This was fine pre journey so its happened at some point recently.
Its no biggie though as i have a spare hub in stock. Also the n/s outer cv has been clicking for a while, so i will replace that whilst in the area.
With that done, refitted the compomotives for road use and washed tons of rubber pickup off the lower bodywork.
Clean again.
So a few jobs to sort. Ill box them off in the next couple of weeks and change the oil for fresh.
In other news ive booked a trackday at Spa in a couple of months so looking forward to taking it.
Thanks for reading!!

You wont be dissapointed with a meg. Leagues ahead of the old r5s and other stuff we used to drive, and great fun to drive.
