Megane Megane 225 questions

[Ricardo]

Just debating whether to buy a Megane 225, I've seen an 05 blue Megane on EBay and at a glance for 2K it doesn't seem too bad. I'd like to have it purely as a toy, a 3rd car, stripped out, 1 bucket seat, track it when I have the free money.

So, if I did buy it I'd go a bit PMT, l'd spend no more than 1K on it for mods. PMT as in are there any homebrew mods that could be done to it geometry setup wise etc

In my head with 1K
Cooksport Springs
Remap
Bucket seat with 4 point harness
Refresh of OE suspension, tired parts?

What else?

Apologies if it's in the wrong thread

Are you looking out for a pair or just the one? And a Sabelt Taurus in particular?

Single seat. With Renault sport on?

I've seen another Sabelt seat for sale but don't think it's a RenaultSport one like mine

 

[Ricardo]

The deal is done, I went to view the Meg 225 and it seems to tick the box. Yeah the bodywork could do with a little TLC but it's a track toy. I should be picking it up next week as the private plate needs taking off.

Right, time to start looking for accessories.

Could possibly be reprieved with an application of beer?

 

[Ricardo]

Duncan couldnt have done the gloating without the help of TurboRenault , so we need some thanks as well @Duncan Grier

 

[Ricardo]

And a big thank you to TR for hosting the advert.

Gonna be a long week waiting to pick it up

 

[Ricardo]

@Adey when yer good and ready I'll need to tap you for info on the Sabelt steering wheel with the cruise setup. I'm sure it was you that had one

 

[Adey]

Indeed buddy. Had it on the clio, Meg shouldn't be hard to figure out. A little soldering some resistors and momentary switches and it should all work fine.

Appreciate the reply, do you have any photos knocking about when you did it? Everything is going to be Sabelt to match the seat and think the RenaultSport steering wheel will be a nice touch

 

[Adey]

theres a guide on the site somewhere, i suspect its identical tbh, if not very close maybe some resistance changes

He can do yours when he does mine too

I'm sure he won't mind helping out his fellow TR friends

Second dibs please...

 

[Ricardo]

Be a right result to have a pair exactly the same

I think it would suck and it would be much better if we had one each.... you can only sit in one at a time after all
