wish my girlfriends would have been the same hahaha
yeah fresh out the box they are truely amazing cars,
my plan is to track it a couple of times then start modifying it.
On the mod front i plan to put an uprated panel filter on it with a bigger air intake, a forge or Ktec front mount intercooler then just a stage 1 remap. That should see me at around 270-280 bhp and around 300 ft/lb of torque, i dont want to go silly with power as i do not want to comprimise the setup of the car
the blocks go bang at around 320 bhp and to achieve anything over 300 you need a hybrid turbo. I will be using RS tuning to tune the car as they are very local, the owner has an R26R running 511bhp!!!!!!!
hopefully see some of you out on track very soon, i'll be keeping a look out for when people are going.
cheers again

RS Tuning deffo for the remap but I very much doubt you will see those figures from a Stage 1. 270bhp+ is Stage 2 power, your more likely to see 260bhp and 270ft/lbs from a Stage 1.
Stage 1 Hybrid can do 300bhp with your planned cooler and intake + exhaust or decat too, but keeps the torque down. Stage 2 on the stock turbo gives around 320lbs torque which can cause problems.............Bang !
R32UK:
Sounds like you are local to me.. will keep an eye out for this! Great choice of car :happy2:
last time i was in RS Tuning they said the R26 was only going upto 360bhp.... :signLOL:
MAT ED30:
The last time I was in rs tuning he showed me the engine from the r26 that he blew up
:rolleye:
S800BRN:
Lovely car, mate. Always wondered what these would be like.
Like the normal R26s too.
tony_danza:
Can I offer a suggestion??
Leave it alone. Don't map it, don't mess with the suspension - just enjoy it for what it is. :happy2:
