I'm with you on the semi auto thing but wanted to try it. Just been using it manual regardless of which mode it's in, keeps you engaged.

Cheers.

Wheels getting refurbed tomorrow as part of the deal, thinking a dark anthracite in gloss. Any suggestions welcome. Black badges ordered and currently plastdipping the exhaust tips. Not trying to make it look like an Akrapovic but they do look better black. It's had a mid silencer delete so...

Replaced the Megane with a Clio 220 Trophy. Absolutely loved the Megane and will probably get another but it was time to change. Scrathing an itch with the semi auto thing, enjoying it so far. Obviously the Clio has less power than the Meg but she still goes well, the brakes are particularly...

The only problem would be if you needed the emergency services, you'd look like a bit of t**t!

I somehow stumbled across a channel called 'man like wezzo', absolutely class!!! :unsure:

Was out cycling yesterday and spotted this beauty!

Admittedly not that bad but it was upsetting me!

Think it was a red 200 Raider coming out of Petersfield on the A272, looked smart.

Had a bit fun with one of you guys in my Black Cup-s! Once heading towards Shields on the a194 and another time heading towards the A1 on the a194, those Trophys definitely get a move on! We should have a mini-meet sometime, sure Brigs44 would appreciate that!

You need to drive faster! ;)

Do you live near South Shields/Gateshead way, seen a LY 220 round here a few times. Looks class!

My average is 25 to 27 around the doors, surely the Clio would be better than that?

Cheers lads, appreciate the info. Tempted to have a test drive myself, my Cup-s is rather thirsty!

Also mpg info would be appreciated.

Alright lads and lasses. Friend of mine is considering a 220 Trophy. Can anybody tell me what are the differences between phase 1 and 2. Obviously the exterior and some interior is different, wasn't sure about any technical differences mainly thinking gearbox? Cheers

7 or 8mm iirc.

That 200 at K-tec has also had gearbox refurb plus the cambelt has been done too, a definite plus.

Had the same on mine too, very odd?

Good luck mate. You won't be disappointed. :smile:

I'm no expert but think most issues were on 197's and earlier 200's ( I could stand corrected though ). Tends to be the syncros on 3rd and 4th gear. Options are a rebuild or significant discount from Renault UK for a new box, they seem to have been pretty helpful on the issue. If you find one...

Y You'll get a tidy Mk 3 200 with low mileage and cup chassis for sub 10k. Gear boxes are probably the main potential area for issue. Never had an issue on my 2012 200 though. They're thirsty too, 25-28 MPG round the doors and 30-35 MPG on a long run, who cares about that though!

Renault are aiming at the masses unfortunately, sales/money talks. They can't afford not to try and compete with other manufacturers which is to detriment of us purists! At least the RS Megane comes with a manual option.

I second bilt hamber auto foam, dogs knackers! :up::up:

I'm finding the ride on 18's to be absolutely fine, firm but not ridiculous. So desperate for some better weather so I can really feel the handling prowess of these machines! With you on the practically, no space behind me so it's essentially a 3 seater, big enough boot though. I reckon black...

That That is bloody lovely mate, I like the pre-facelift as much as the mine. The red and black contrast works beautifully. It's my Birthday on Friday so going to order myself an R.S gear knob, bet it feels much better! :wink: Mine is my only car and my daily so went for newer with low mileage...

No, would have been above my budget unfortunately. Will probably only do one track day a year max so will make do with the standard cup chassis set up.

What colour is yours? Will definitely consider I mid box chop, the pops seem pretty random as it is!

Pretty basic spec, no Recaros or Akrapovic. Has got the Sat Nav and climate control though. I had a budget and I'm more than happy with it. Most importantly it's got the cup chassis, LSD and good tyres. I'm not massively into loud exhausts and the standard seats are really comfy and supportive (...
