H.A22 Posted 27, June 2013 Report Share Posted 27, June 2013 Hi guys Test drove one other day and put an order.. Should expect within a few weeks and will have pictures to follow! Was leaning toward an sti, but a 10 min test drive changed my mind. The smoothness and power just cannot be matched. I will be a critic and say the megane has a challenger being the OPC, but thats about it. The meganes a great car and my annoying, long, yet exciting wait begins...

Homerlovesbeer Posted 27, June 2013 Report Share Posted 27, June 2013 Hehe sweet.....another convert. Welcome! You are correct about the OPC. I drove my RS250 back to back against the Astra and couldn't part ways with my Renault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 27, June 2013 Report Share Posted 27, June 2013 Welcome mate! Great choice on the 265 what colour did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.A22 Posted 27, June 2013 Author Report Share Posted 27, June 2013 RED after two previous cars being white and grey, i thought it was time for a change. If i had it my way i would of jumped on the stunning luquid yellow in the 8:08, but unfortunantly thats not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock Posted 17, July 2013 Report Share Posted 17, July 2013 I pick up my RS265 Cup this afternoon. Have also gone with a red one. My classic WRX will go into a Carcoon in the shed. I have been interested in a little Renault since a hire Clio in the mid 90's. Have finally driven the Renaultsport I want (to me the rest were too small or too slow or too weird looking) and it is the only recent car that has really talked to me.

Classic WRX ???...sorry but there's no such thing. 22B is collectable, STI Coupe is semi collectable, other WRX's are as common as muck, cheap as chips, & far from a classic. That aside, glad you managed to find an RS that wasn't "too slow" or "too weird" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.A22 Posted 28, July 2013 Author Report Share Posted 28, July 2013 Picked up the 265 yesturday, already 300 km on the odo absolutely love the thing and the handling is stunning! The freezing weather at night really makes a difference in power to daytime running i noticed.. How do you guys go about opening the engine with relation to driving style? Take it Easy or drive like you stole it lol? Hard to do the first part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hithere Posted 28, July 2013 Report Share Posted 28, July 2013 How do you guys go about opening the engine with relation to driving style? Take it Easy or drive like you stole it lol? Hard to do the first part If you mean, running in the engine, have a read of this (link below). If on the other hand, you mean, day to day, opening up... I warm up the motor first (not idling) by driving gently until engine oil warms up and start opening up a bit. Several people here said that even after the engine temp on dash indicate half way, the oil is still not warm enough so might be worth keeping that in mind, but once, I have driven 10 min, I don't mind redlining it and enjoy it... if situation permits. viewtopic.php?t=18627 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.A22 Posted 28, July 2013 Author Report Share Posted 28, July 2013 Thanks for the advice, in terms of warming up i let the engine idle for couple minutes then drive it low revs, avoiding the turbo boost as much as possible to let coolant get flowing, and oil warm up engine a little.. 2 days down and 400 km driven, mostly mixed driving conditions with some good ammount of accelerations, downshifts, braking to run everything in.. Did a 2 am run home sat night, temp display was 1 degree celcius.. Lets say she was fierrrry really hear the blowoff from the trubo whistle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only another 31 posts away, or until bremund can elevate your rank - whichever comes first. Car looks great! Congrats If it wasn't for the Liquid Yellow 8:08, I reckon we'd have gone for a red one too. I love how the red lenses disappear at the rear.
