Renault Megane 225

Yuri

Hi All,

I've just joined and introduced myself in the "General" category as I'm in the process of purchasing a V50 T5 AWD.

I also have a Renault Megane 225 with some mild modifications which I take to the track every now and then. Last time out was the the OzRS forum gang at Wakefield Park for some fun where I managed a 1:11.07

A few pics of the beast...

Yuri

Thanks for the compliments! It's currently at the tune shop getting uprated injectors and a fuel controller as I was hitting 100% injector duty cycle on the track.

They are Hankook Z221's hard compound. They do the job.

Ahh, the Clio 255 V6. It's in my fantasy dream garage.

They sure did. For the UK market. Any Clio 255 in Australia is a personal import.

Not bad. Is it a daily or just a weekend car?

I usually cycle to work or catch public transport and the planned V50 purchase will take care of family duties. So the Meg ends up getting used on the weekend or mid-week track days.

I've seen the clio v6 parked at a work shop in Arden street North mel awesome car sounds amazing it would be on my list of cars to import , after the lotus carlton and a Capri 280 brooklands which I loved growing up in the 80s and

Ex850R

Which orkshop ? I get over that way a lot. Keen to try and have another look.

There is a few and Alipine Affair in Ringwood as well. I'd love a Lotus Carlton, and a VN Group A to go next to it...

they're around 10k pounds for a phase 2 in the UK and they sell for $60,000 here.

if you want to make money and can import one... good money spinner.

Yuri

I believe Alpine Affair in Ringwood own one. The OzRS people in Melbourne use them, Auto Paris in Box Hill and Virage in South Melbourne.

AshDVS

What pads are you currently using in it?

Wino

Alpine Affair also run an A110S
