Megane Artic blue 225

Great to see such a well sorted 225, you really look after your motors, @Brigsy.
That's a fine stable of cars you've got.

Cheers mate 👍 i reckon the 225/r26 are a dying breed at the moment, as they are all broken for spares as soon as a couple of minor faults occur. it only seems like 5 mins since Shez bought it, and they were everywhere and expensive to buy.

I am currently trying to cover all bases on the cars so i can get out and use them regular, with the Extra van back to being the only project. I reckon im 90% there at the moment, only a few jobs to do but everything is road legal bar the Extra, and that will come next year.
 
Looks great on the speedlines
Have to Agree, it Looks great on the speedlines!

Cheers all. The Turini’s have been on this for a lot of years, previous lady owner ordered them from speedline when the car was quite new, at massive expense by all accounts. I assume she seen the later r26 wheels and fancied the multi spoke look so went aftermarket.

Its actually pictured on the speedline corse website outside the previous owners house from years ago.

Feels like a lifetime since ive updated this

Taxed the ph1 225 yesterday. Its been stored in a dry garage over winter with battery off. Stuck a new battery on as i nicked the old one for the Kangoo, checked fluids and it fired straight up. Brakes werent even rusty, no issues to report.

Quick snowfoam to get dust off, checked tyre pressures, steady drive upto M/boro to get some heat in everything then over the North Yorkshire moors to enjoy some b road action. Still love this car, the progress you can make on b roads is epic. 17 year old car now!

Long time no update. Meg is taxed again and road legal, and a few minor service items to do.

Made a start today, cv boot clip on passenger side, stock brembo pads up front, flushed the old brake and clutch fluid out for fresh. Test driven earlier and brakes are excellent again as the old fluid was knackered from previous track use.

Just engine and gear oil to change and its good to go for some summer driving.
 
Bank hol updates

Serviced the megane, fresh 5/40 synthetic oil and changed the gear oil

Give the engine bay a wipe down, still nice and clean.

Took it for a good blast out around the local b roads, the chassis is awesome feels so planted. Still one of my all time favourite hot hatches.

Thanks for reading!!
 
Get one up for the 5 and the meglio mate been following them on insta for ages👌
I will do soon, never really been a forum type of guy but now I’m setting into my new house I’ll have something to occupy my time with when I’m off shift. It’s easy just to bang a picture on Instagram with a small caption but I do like reading a good thread when I’m not working.

I’ve also got a YouTube channel (Renny 5 Guy) I’ll probably put some more videos up on there aswell.
 
Updates

Megane hardly been used since last post but have had it out. Such a great car and does everything we need with ease, great all rounder. Its fast enough to lose your licence easily, handles great, compliant enough for daily use and a simple brake pad and tyre change and its track ready. Should f**k all the other cars off and keep this but life is too short for just using the one car!
