Apollo Posted 27, August 2014 Report Share Posted 27, August 2014 I recently purchased a 2011 Megane 250 Cup Trophee. This was a big change as I have been driving a turbo rear drive Japanese car (Nissan 200sx) for a long time. I haven’t had the Megane long and it has been raining in Sydney since I purchase it so I haven’t had a chance to really test the car yet. First impressions are good, I really like the way the car drives. It does not have the straight line acceleration of the Nissan but I am very impressed by the handling. Went for a bit of a run through the National Park and even though the road was wet I was surprised at how well this car grips. Keen to test it on the track. Do any members go to Wakefield for track days? What sort of time can a standard car expect around Wakefield? Only complaint so far is the stereo. Can’t believe that such a high spec car has such an ordinary sound system. Any suggestions? Already thinking of some mods. I think exhaust and retune will be the first steps but would appreciate suggestions from the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 28, August 2014 Report Share Posted 28, August 2014 Welcome mate! As to your questions - yes, yes and yes. Have a look around the "Advanced driving & motorsport", "I.C.E" and "Megane III" sections for endless threads on mods, stereos and info on track days. There's a private, Renault only track day at Wakefield in mid-November. As you're discovering, RS are all about corners so you'll be amazed how much grip you can generate your Meggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade Posted 28, August 2014 Report Share Posted 28, August 2014 Yes a number of us run in the CSCA super sprint series and there are a number of track days coming up (have a look in the Motorsport section) a Wakefield one is coming up in nov (?) We had the nats at Wakefield last year and quite a number of meganes entered. Sub 1.10 from memory..... Maybe a 1.08?? Maybe someone else can recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielG Posted 28, August 2014 Report Share Posted 28, August 2014 Did 1:11 in my stock 265. Could probably do 1:10 on standard road tyres I reckon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
