Is your Skyline off the road?
Do you want something to drive around and not hate life?
Do you want to view your own car suspiciously and question why you even own it when your silly French car pretty much equals it for 99.95% of the things you do?

If so, this is the car for you.

I bought this Megane ~20,000kms ago after renting a few from Hertz and fell in love with them much to the annoyance of anyone near me with ears. I purchsed this one as a car to get around town with while other car projects were off the road and I will surely regret not having it in the future.

Help me make a mistake by selling it.

This IS a 225 Sport Cup, not a 225 Sport. The cup has different suspension and different steering and a host of other different things, more relaxed stability control etc, which were all introduced as fixes to the 225 Sport when it was originally released.

The car is pretty much standard other than:

RSTuner STG 1 tune (included tuner/ODB2 reader with car), so you'll need to run it on 98.
A pretty okay looking wrap to cover Renault's amazing water based clear coat
Mid Muffler Delete, which makes nearly no actual difference to sound.
Ford Focus XR5 rims, which sit out a little more than the original Cup rims which were cracked when I got them.
Hankook RS4 Tyres (235/40/18)
KAM Fire extinguisher bracket.

You'll also get 2 extra sets of brake pads, one OEM, and one DBA XP which I got for free from BrakesDirect. The car currently has Forza FP3 brake pads up the front, which are track suitable but entirely okay to drive around with on the road.

The car does have some interior creaks which I believe ALL of them do after testing when looking to buy this one. I assure you if you are the kind of driver that is interested in a car like this, it won't bother you after taking one corner in a twisty road like this. If you want a comparison, all up they're about as bad as a coke can sitting in a drink holder.

I bought this thinking it would be an excuse to bust out the tools and keep busy while a V8 conversion was going on.
My tools gathered dust.

Finding rims is actually pretty hard for these things as they have stupid offset (stock 18x8 is like +66!). The XR5 rims are the same size but their offset is.. +52? Something like that.

XR5s also came in a very similar colour. It is a bit funny when I drive past one of them in this car, though the Renault is a much better car. At least to drive..

It has 203,000km and rising, as I'm driving it around as my daily right now with no immediate issues.

I am open to reasonable negotiations re: price, welcome to go and give it an actual test drive through a mountain road if someone here is  local and actually curious.

      The car is red. Leave it red, it looks great. Unless it's sealed though it's not going to be doing anything for performance and just suckin in hot air, mind you.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.

      Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.
