320touring Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Due to muchos generosity my TEH MOOG I availed myself of the sportscar Megane. This here is a wee thread for it in all its BTCCesque glory! First up some pictures of the stunning livery and track prepped interior:) brickwall, fatharris and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 After its sterling performance on track (24 or so laps prior to the track day being cancelled) Where it still did 18mpg according to the obc;) I thought I had best show it some attention.. So it got a bit of a clean out, the rear seats and boot reconstructed and I even went as far as finding treasures* (if either prev owner wants the stuff let me know!) Lastly I marvelled at 2 exquisite design features.. Rear window switches behind the handbrake, and the world's shortest dipstick. Then she was tucked up with her younger sister for the evening.

They_all_do_that_sir Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 These 1.6 16v engines are remarkably sprightly - I had one in a megane coupe and it went rather well. Unfortunately the rest of it was really shit and it ended up over the bridge Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babydriver Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yup thats my road map, had it over 25 years and used it for all our family holidays, pm me your paypal and let me know how much to return it, It does have sentimental value. Thanks by the way.I have had 49 MPG out of My Nibblet, she never let me down and believe it or not the abs sensor is only 12 months or so old, apparantly if you go through puddles the rain water corrodes the sensor ring so if you clean it the problem goes away, so I was told at the garage.

The Moog Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Mr Touring, found the rear headrests for the Racecar*. Do you want them? Sounds like might be an easy fix then for abs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I don't think Sunday will occur due to possibility of weather allowing chance to get Clio 172 exhaust work done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
