Hello.

My name is Dave, I am from Newcastle.

Thats Newcastle in NSW Australia.

You guys have an awsome website.

I have a Megsy RS 225 Cup (Blood Orange). Love it.

I was up surfing and found your site. Just thought I'd log in and say G'Day.

There some really sweet picts of Megsys on here, might even inspire me to get some of mine up and running. You guys will have to turn your monitors upside down to view them though (Ha Ha).

Looking forward to participating in some discussions.

Cheers - Dave (dboy)

welcome to the club mate,

we have a few people from your neck of the woods on here, you might know them as ive heard its only a small place :lol: :lol:

How you doing dave!


Nice to see you signed up,



& Yep it'd be great to see a few pics of your car posted up on the site! :)

PMSL imagine a local meet in aussie, lol 300miles to travel :lol:

3000 possibly? :D :D :D

Welcome aboard, what's ya favourite colour m8.
Cheers Phill

welcome along mate.

Welcome to the site mate :wink:

welcome along :D

Welcome to the site mate

G'Day All,

Thanks for the Welcome.

I will work on getting some picts up this weekend. (Should be good weather here for a photo or two.)

Can someone tell me what "Full Fat"" means.

Is that the 225 Turbo (Not Cup). (With mods ?)

Just trying to catch up on the lingo.

Cheers.

Hi Dave,

The 'Full Fat'


Is the top of the range one, like the normal one without the cup pack or the cup.


if you catch my drift :lol:

So if the RS225 Turbo is "Full Fat", what is the "RS225 Cup" Called.

Cheers

PS - Picts soon (Weather permitting)

225 = FF
225+cup pack addition = FF
225-cup = PS (poverty spec)
225-trophy = fully PHAT 8)
225 F1 = hideous wheels think this is more like HF (half fat)



hopefully that clears it up. a FF full fat is a car that gets everything rather than a reno special which is to release a car with next to no luxury trim and call it a cup for a puny 20kg weight saving (apart from proper 172cup with 80kg weight saving amongst other things)

225 = FF
225+cup pack addition = FF
225-cup = PS (poverty spec)
225-trophy = fully PHAT 8)
225 F1 = hideous wheels think this is more like HF (half fat)





Wrong on the last one mate. I've seen one and the black wheels look smart. A refreshing change from grey wheels.

quick question, have you had yours remapped yet ?

no fella, cant remap it a s its the euro IV engine, its as standard as it left the factory at the moment, wanting to get a time sorted with mr B tho for his AB induction kit, just cant find the time to get down there at the mo :cry:

just wondering the economy increases with the remap, hand the keys to your missus after remap and you mite get the biggest MPG figure anyone has ever achieved at 36mpg ! :shock: :D :lol:

Hello Again All.

Seems since I went off to sleep last night, I was well and truly hi-jacked.
Also seems I'm driving a poverty-pack. Is that right ? (Its a Cup).
Oh well, I like it anyway, and poverty is sure what I am in now I'm paying the beast off.

Anyhow, as threatened, here are some picts.

As you can see, I'm not really in the race as far as mods go. Tinted windows and a wind deflector things on the drivers window.

Custom Sheepskin seat covers, mmmm, comfortable.

Oh, and fully custom Leather (Kangaroo Leather mind you) Card holder.
No other plans at the moment.
Hmmmm, a LSD would be nice.

Cheers.

car looks good, i can see why you had your windows tinted for............................................... .......................................
so people can't see what you've done to the seats :lol: :lol: :lol:

sheapskin cover's!!!!!!!!!!! NO :lol:

Car looks awesome mate. Got to agree on the seat covers tho'. They wouldn't go down too well over here. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Wot on earth have you put on them seats m8, is it cos your trying to cover up the stains when you crapped yourself finding out how fast it was?? :lol: :lol:
Cheers Phill

Oh No !!

I guess you're not going to like my roof racks either.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i10/dboydownunder/OhNoRoofRacks.jpg

Seriously though, I'm just an average working dude. At the end of the day when its time to go home, I ain't always squeeky clean. Had to get some seat covers, and with the air bags, this was the way to go.

Plus they are heeps comfortable, and sheepskin is warm in winter, and cool in the Aussie summer (something you guys might not have experianced).

And no, they weren't to cover up the stains. The Megane is a very pleasant car to drive in standard trim, but it is not nearly as fast as some other cars we have owned and modified in the past.

But I like it just the way it is.

Cheers.

Finally a picture of roof rack on a 225!!! :D


Cheers mate! :wink:

I love a bit of DIY.

Roof racks are a must.

Cheers.

:lol:


I'll need some for when i get the bikes out! :D




Just out of interest does anyone know how much they are over here from renault? :?

Renaut here (In Aust) wanted 2 arms and a leg for their aftermarket items, but my missus had worked in the industry before, and she knew what the parts were really worth, so they were on the back foot from the word go.
We got a pretty good deal, and since they were not really selling many cars here against the Golf GTI, WRX and Lancer, they were fairly keen for our business, and pretty much gave us a few extras.
I'm sure they still got their pound of flesh though.

Cheers.

when you fitting the towbar m8? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Towbar ...... where can I get one ? :shock:

Actually no. If it won't fit on the roofracks I have to suck up to the father-in-law and borrow his ute. :D

Then I owe... :cry:
