Leeroy's Megane 225 Trophy

[leeroybrown]

Well after a few weeks of deciding if I should purchase another clio 182 in this case a 182 trophy I have choosen a Megane 225 trophy. Its more grown up, bigger and easier to get more BHP from it then the N/A 182 engine.

Here is a little write up to what a megane 225 trophy is can be found here

http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Renault-Megane-2.0T-Renaultsport-Trophy/214337/.

Plans at the minute are for a good clean, polish and wax and basically enjoy it for a few weeks before deciding whats the first thing I need to buy for it.

Nice purchase, if I wanted a meg I'd get pretty much exactly that. Love the trophys

 

[Cal182]

I luv them mate!! Good purchase!

 

[Davis]

good upgrade!

the megane trophys only came in this colour right?

 

[d4nmc]

Superb leeroy, look forward to getting a closer look and some photos some time

 

[Greeny.]

Probs my next car as well, but probably not a trophy Love it though!

 

[Austin-182]

Nice car old man

Thats the exaact car I bought to replace my 182 cup!! Great car and im loving it!! Had it nearly 9 months now and im pleased to say it was a big step in the right direction. One thing I would say is to get the RS Tuning remap done on it as it makes a huge difference to the car and makes it so much better to drive and quicker!! Enjoy!!!

[Benj88]

That's the game mate

 

[Whiteley]

Oooh it reminds me of mine! Good choice mate

 

[Naith]

very nice example, i like theses meganes me

 

[_Tom]

Nice. What sort of MPG do they get? (honest answer not one with rose tinted glasses..haha)

 

[jamier27]

love them, very wise choice... unless you prefer mpg over mph

 

[leeroybrown]

27 - 29ish I think

I will be able to tell you in a few hours.

Picking it up at 4

 

[Whiteley]

Over the last 1027 miles I've averaged 26.4mpg, thats a fair mix of spirited blasts, steady runs to work and a bit of motorway here and there.

 

[Snails]

Probs my next car as well, but probably not a trophy Love it though!

It's next on my list too

 

[Christopher]

Brilliant cars.

 

[Reyes]

What the hell. A trophy with Xenons?! nice find!!

 

[Whiteley]

159 in the UK, 99 with no options, 50 with 6 CD changer, 49 with Xenons

 

[MikeyK18]

Love it!

Want/Need a 225 in my life!

 

[MikeyK18]

Oooh it reminds me of mine! Good choice mate

OOFFTT!!

 

[Reyes]

I'll swap my 225 for your A4 lol.

 

[liamjinx blue clio.]

[Dan R]

27 - 29ish I think

Yep thats the exactish figure even after a remap

 

[Whiteley]

^ Stage 1 RST, talk to me. Definitely worth the outlay? Not interested in forking out for an intercooler/stage 2 so it's the best compromise.

 

[BioHzrd]

Great choice mate !

I recommend you do this !

Deffinatly mate,makes the car awesome you will be grinning like a Cheshire cat and hunting mk2 FRS's lol.Remote box is worth getting incase the ecu gets wiped while in at Renault so you have the map stored(also works as a fault code reader)

 

[jesus]

Very nice, I hope to own one of these some time!

 

[leeroybrown]

I thought both my 182's were fun, but this thing is in another league.

I think once you have owned a Renault Sport, its like a disease, you just want more.

Rides brilliantly, handles really well, goes like stink and above all its like stealth bomber :}

Anyone thinking of changing to one, I could not recommend it more!

In simple words, it makes the megane the car it SHOULD of been from factory.
A 225 in standard form is actually no quicker than a 182 once rolling.
My ex has a 182 trophy and i could never pull away from it.
After remap its pulls away easily but its the way it drives tbh.
Loads more torque in every gear, easier to drive quicker as u can use the torque rather than having to rev its nuts off. It just transforms the whole package and is perfectly reliable and cheap to do. I recommend it 100%!
Best mod ive done. Ill let u know how i get on at the ring with it in 6 weeks and see how it compares to my old bodies, AST'd 182 cup
Its got a lot to live up to!!

 

[leeroybrown]

Did you get stage 1 or 2 Dan.

Stage 2 just looks fecking awesome!

 

[_Tom]

A remap sounds like the same case as the VW's...

What power/torque does a stage 1 map take them too? And what do they weigh? I do like them..

 

[leeroybrown]

Stage one can be anythign from 240 -260. I think a F1 made 269 on a stage 1!

I still have a huge smile on my face everytime I drive it.

I was massively impressed at how well and quick it covers ground!

 

[H12EAY]

Garys .R had a stage 1 RST map on too Leeroy, i think his was 258 but i cant remember lol

 

[BioHzrd]

Whats the average increase on a stage 2 ?

 

[leeroybrown]

260 - 280

Harry, something like that will do me :}

 

[_Tom]

Nice! What do they weigh? (Me being lazy and not looking..haha)

 

[BioHzrd]

Nice! What do they weigh? (Me being lazy and not looking..haha)

R26

The vehicle weights 1,355 kg (2,987 lb) kerb, 1,820 kg (4,012 lb) gross.

Wiki is your friend !

 

[_Tom]

Nice. About the same as my Bora. They must be swift! Mines around 240 and not shy so with that power and handling to match must be mucho fun!
