Hey Guys...

Remember the post re. the deletion of the "Revised Steering" on the Cup pack for the Fullfat 225?

I was told that the site (www.renaultsport.co.uk) was in the process of being revamped, well it has... but no mention of the revised steering...

Look:

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/newsite06/roadcars/megane225/specification/options/

Cup Chassis

- 18" Lightweight Anthracite Alloy Wheels
- Anthracite coloured door mirror housings
- Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres 235/40 R18 (ilo 225/40 R18)
- Drilled front and rear brake discs
- Uprated front and rear spring rates (25% front and 77% rear)
- Re-tuned front / rear damper settings
- Increased brake master cylinder diameter

No mention of the retuned steering?!

a.- Become standard on all 225's?
b.- Not available on the cup pack?
c.- Typo? Again?

Looking forward to your theories....

They've revised the look of the site, but the content, in particular the specs, seems to be exactly the same as far as I can see.

it will be a standard change accross the range now rather than something the cup has over the full fat, you'd know about it if you had phase 1 full fat steering as its heavier than the trophy/cup setup

It would not trust the spec on the new site, it lists the cup and the F1 as a 5 door car. If they can not get the number of door correct what else is wrong.

...In other words... Are they making the revised steering standard on all 225s... Makes sense... considering all the grief 225´s get for having a "disconnected" steering ... something which I somehow agree....

yeah the new ones have electric power steering so its lighter, with 225 bhp to the front wheels they have to meat up the power steering to stop tramlining/tourque steer unfortunately

Is this confirmed then that the Facelift full fat 225 now has the same steering as the Cup?

You got a delivery date yet uncle or has it already turned up?
