sortedford Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 After having my Clio for a year (£30 tax and 60mpg constant) I wanted to go back to something bigger and with a bit more power, so i decided to stick with French (Booooo!) and get its bigger sibling. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/meg3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/meg2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/meg6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/meg5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/meg8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/IMG_1052.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/sortedford/IMG_1053.jpg Very rare Renaultsport Megane 175 LUX (apparently only 300 in the UK).Its got most of the option boxes ticked (inc spare wheel), Glass opening roof, 18inch wheels, keyless entry & go, Cruise control, Speed limiter etc...Shares everything but the engine with the petrol one, so the same Bembos and whatever they call 'revo-knuckle' suspension. Very fun to drive, reasonable insurance, and around 40mpg Plans....Fit the rear F1 decal, then either sell her, or if i keep her go for the Ktec STG3 Remap and FAP removal (quoted figues are around 220bhp & 350ft lbs).

HIGHTOWER Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I always liked these, always see blue ones here though....whats that by die head rest ? Looks like a camera mount! I hated these when the first came out (I also hated the focus, though) but as time goes by, I'm beginning to quite like them! Did someone really tick speed limiter as an option, though?

sortedford Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think all the sports came with the limiter, its on all the cars that have the cruise control, its dead handy too, I always use it in roadworks, School areas etc so you dont have to keep an eye on your speed and can have all your attention on the road And aye, its my camera mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I like that a lot! Other than the seat, looks like its from an 80s vauxhall.. And what is the thing youve bolted to it? Looks like a steering wheel thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 A friend of mine has one of these and they're fantastic! Proper little go kart round the side streets yet fast and fun on the open road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Wow! Never knew diesel versions existed! Very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thanks for the comments It goes pretty well, i think standard its about 220ftlbs, 6 speed so can sit just shy of the 140 mark, its not bad for a derv, its a shame they didn't sell enough to continue it into the new shape, but it is quite exclusive - thats why i like it. Dont worry Mark, ive still got 2 Escorts, though i'd like to get down to one of them Tricky - My local Renault never knew either :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicksy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I quite like that, i had no idea they did a diesel in them either! Does it have the twin exit exhausts like the 225 does?Did you go out looking for one then or did you fall upon it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 They are FAST, i went with a friend to test drive one (eventhough he had no intent of buying) and was like rubbish off a stick. Nice purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
