One of the best value second hand hot hatches you can buy right now. £7500 secures a low mileage treasured example and with decent tyres, it wont be far off the current crop of hot hatches around a lap, especially with a £450 remap from a specialist!!

That's well known that cash can make us free. But how to act if someone does not have cash? The only one way is to receive the loan or just short term loan.

Don't have cash to buy a house? Worry no more, because this is possible to take the home loans to work out such kind of problems. Thence get a auto loan to buy all you need.

It is great that we are able to receive the home loans and it opens completely new opportunities.

Dyno figures vary all the time.
Most R26's have between 225-235ps tested at Rstuning Leeds Uk.
They have been specializing in Megane sports from day one,so they have lots of experience.
As far as Semi-slicks go, they are worth about 8 seconds around the Nordschleife.

This is not the only time where the Megane Sport F1-Team R26 was put on the dyno and showed that it does not make 230hp but rather 247hp. It annoys me when manufacturers do such things and is cheating in my opinion and its also true for the the Seat Leon cupra which is not 240hp but rather 261hp

Its only 0:00.2 secconds faster than the Megane Sport Trophy at Hockenheim Short. Does anyone have a time for Nordschleife ? I think its 236km/h top speed will be this cars downfall.

"we should have a damp/wet condion lap button that slower laptimes are explainable.."Yes, that's a good idea. I hope this Sunday I'll have some free time to bring some of these ideas to reality.
