    This car has changed loads now Engine blew about 6 months ago so had it fully forged, r26.r clutch kit, PMS Exhaust, 250 turbo, airtec intercooler 630cc injectors and meg 265 front brakes added. Now running 304bhp. I'm still loving the car despite spending so much on it.

    Great video !!! Your review is just perfect . Colin McRae sayed straight roads are for fast cars , turns are for fast drivers . Well the R26 was made for fast drivers .

    Ive got a LY R26 remapped to around 263 bhp - just great cars! Probably the best value for money performance car there is..

    Great video.
    Bought a 2008 one last weekend, completely standard. The only mods I will consider doing is exhaust and blow off/turbo plate. Feels a tad too quiet as standard in the drivers seat.

    Nice video 👌 I had a remapped 225 years back but it was plagued with to many issue's so had to pass it on, but I did enjoy it in my short ownership.

    Great review. Was thinking focus st or Astra vxr. This vid has now thrown the r26 into the mix

    • @ChristopherGower
      @ChristopherGower  3 года назад

      Thanks mate. I have never been fortunate enough to drive the other two, but can almost guarantee the R26 has the superior chassis.
      Have been tempted by the Focus ST before because of its 5 pot engine. Way more scope for modifications!

      I had an R26 and loved the style, definitely a Marmite car. Had to get rid of it when family came along 😪 but as soon as they were a bit older I bought a 250 cup and still have it. Renaultsport just do great drivers cars full stop.👍

      Sounds nice! I have another video going live this weekend featuring an R26 which is 330bhp. Goes like a rocket and handles the power brilliantly.
