#1: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:10 am ---- Right so its no peugeot but as this is my favourite forum and being a member for a while i would be rude not to stick around.
so this is my project thread, as its SUTCH!!! a great car to start with the mods will probs be slow
So after going to view 3 Liquid yellow R26's and them all looking a little worse for ware i decided i was going to take a trip down to wales to go see what i thought would be a minter! turned out to be crap, so i decided i was going to look at a white one on the way home, offft int the flesh the white looked ace!! and in fact i preferred it so much more, however this particular one was all a little dodgy and the guy seemed very strange so after leaving my 5th viewing i decided i'm going to pay slightly over budget and find something in better condition, when i stumbled upon my beautiful girl which was 10 miles from my house despite travelling over 150 miles to view the previous 2.
so hear she is My R26 that has been named by a few Friends Megan(e) Fox due to her cracking a**e
Future Plans (it wont stay standard for long) in order-ish
- Dump valve (in the post)
- 6000k HID's
- Decat
- Gloss black roof
- R26R spoiler
- Stage 1 Remap
- Double din head unit
- uprated door speakers
- forge front mount
- forge actuator
- then anything else needed for Stage 2
Its going to be work in progress but i will try to update the project as soon as i do anything and keep pictures flowing regularly.
And no im not coppying the missus i told her to do everything on the fiesta

#20: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Callum206, Location: West SussexPosted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:39 pm ---- You can get a lot out of these cars, how far are you willing to take it ?
#21: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:50 pm ---- not to far i may stop at stage 1 tbh i think it will be more than enough power for the car not to mention i dont think the clutch can handle to much extra power
#22: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:58 am ---- Decat....check
HID.....check
now i just need to fit them lol and i have some carbon fiber wrap to do the badge and exterior door pillars, not looking forward to doing the decat and its supose to be a 4 hour job
oh and i need to fit my dump valve
#23: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:07 am ---- Carbon Wrap FTW
Ive done both Diamonds and the door pillars, looks ace
#24: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:24 am ---- was it hard i can imagine the badge being tricky
#25: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:37 am ---- Wasnt really hard tbh, just a lil tricky,
There is a slight part on the Diamond which you wont be able to get with a single sheet of CF wrap so there will be a tiny bit of chrome showing, Its sorta hidden and no one has seen it till i pointed it out to them
#26: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 9:11 am ---- Yeh il have a go in going to have a busyyyyy weekend when I'm back
#27: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 12:06 pm ---- Got home from holiday yesterday too a few nice presents, you all know what they are but pictures = proof
6000k HIDS
Miltek Decat ( i didnt know what to buy but a lot seem to have this so i can only assume its good)
just need to get them fitted next weekend however i did manage to fit something today
can you tell?
yup i couldn't help my self, good old Megane sport stickers
Dump valve should be hear in the next few days and will also be fitted at the weekend, i also took a trip down to the body repair people that did the MRS fiesta and they have quoted me £250 to have the roof done, i'm very tempted to have it done but they also offered to do my Wheels, roof and all the grey plastics on the front and rear of the car for £500 which is not bad seen as the wheels need a good going over but i may wait until after the nasty winter weather before i do the wheels and im in two minds about the plastics :-S
#28: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 2:26 pm ---- So today the dump valve arrived :-D, bit of a fiddley to fit and rubbed all the tan from holiday off my hands but it sounds amazing and the Red looks really nice under there i think
open:
all tucked away:
just need a few more hoses under there now like the induction pipe and boost pipe then the engine bay can be left for a while
now for the HID's first thing, the bumper is a pain in the a**e to get off, the 3 screws under the bottom just spin and don't undo but i soon solved that.
the ballasts tucked away really nice and i think it was a bloody neat job cutting the hole in the headlight cover and stuff
half and half
all fitted and back together
then as i thought i was done, the missus dad had some carbon wrap left so out we went and experimented, its very hard stuff to work with and with the door open its not perfect but door shut its a good as few more bits going to get done now, was going to do the badge but didn't seem to want to pull off like the clio ones
so yeh decat getting fitted tomorrow the cars really coming....il get some night pics of the lights tonight
#29: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 3:26 pm ---- in love with this car, i love meganes. crack on fella!

#31: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 3:41 pm ---- Do want. f*** the 206
#32: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 4:00 pm ---- loool its really a great car.... and i know pal, rs tuning quote £215 4 hour job, auto data says 8 .8 hour job lol, a mate at a garage who done one on his old 225 has said £60 lol
#33: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 9:39 am ---- Great update, That CF proper suits the white.
Makes me wish i got a White Clio
#34: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: no_offences, Location: LeedsPosted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 9:46 am ---- meg sports FTW! im going to get a 225 soon, not gunna sell the gt mind track slagging that
#35: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 12:59 pm ---- haha yeh its a quality little motor, had the decat fitted today its more boomy/bassy but i think its lost a lot of that "jet" sound
#36: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 1:03 pm ---- With the decat you should hear the noise more I'd have thought, when I de catted my last turbo could hear the turbo spool a lot louder, maybe the louder note of the exhaust drones out the spool maybe

if you can try to get the 230 meggy as with the lSD and all the other tweaks it makes them two completely different cars
#38: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:59 pm ---- yeh defo R26 for the win leave the 225's alone lol...... as for noise, yeh its louder and you can hear the turbo spool up quicker and it dumps its tits off, but i have lost the jet sound lol hopefully a good map will sort that out
#39: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:09 pm ---- you wont get that jet noise back with the map unfortunatly
my mate has one of these mapped with all the boxes out bar the cat and it's like a machines gun but still no jet noise
#40: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:28 pm ---- i no but the map will sort it out in the respect that my mind will be on boost! not noise haha
#41: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 5:25 am ---- Never been a huge fan of the Megannes in this shape
BUT NOW I WANT ONE IN WHITE!! OMFG ITS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
#42: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:15 am ---- Just hearing the Turbo spool does it for me haha Love that noise!!!
#43: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Sat Sep 24, 2011 10:55 am ---- done a little more wrapping today, i think i will be done with the inside before i over kill it, still got to wrap the front and rear badge but i couldnt get them off and im also going to wrap around the wing mirror base.
#44: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:51 am ---- Amazing car mate. Glad you went for the white. I bet its made you realise even further how hard it was to modify a 180 lol. So much more options with a turbo
#45: Re: Megan(e) Fox The R26 Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:01 am ---- totaly gorgeous mate.
