NickMillard Posted 24, March 2016 Report Share Posted 24, March 2016 Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm Nick from Brisbane and have got a 2012 RS250 that I purchased back in Sep/ Oct last year. When I was originally looking for a 250 there weren't too many in QLD so this guy comes from a dealer down Essendon way in Victoria. So far so good, but the biggest problem for me has been readjusting back to a 2 door coupe from a 4 door sedan. I'm one of those people that just loves to throw crap into the backseats.... not so easy now haha. Anyway site looks good, people are friendly and advice seems to be top notch so I am looking forward to hanging around here. Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnut Posted 24, March 2016 Report Share Posted 24, March 2016 Welcome to the clan! That red really pops in the sunlight. Will you be personalising it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No152 Posted 25, March 2016 Report Share Posted 25, March 2016 Hi Nick, Welcome to the forum. Great to see another Brissy member. Terrific colour the red. Hopefully we will catch you on a drive day sometime. Have you had sports type cars before? Be good to get your impressions of the RS compared to others if its your first RS.

dongerz1 Posted 25, March 2016 Report Share Posted 25, March 2016 Welcome mate, like the red! What I usually do with stuff is just undo the driver seat latch so it bents forward, dump my junk behind the seat and close it up. Pretty convenient still.

NickMillard Posted 29, March 2016 Author Report Share Posted 29, March 2016 Thanks for the welcome guys. In answer to your questions: Numbnut - I'm not entirely sure yet. When I originally received the car I wasn't too fond of the black mags however they have really grown on me over the last few months so don't think I will be swapping them out after all. If I do anything, I think a stereo upgrade will be the first point of call. No152 - Yeah I'll definitely keep my eyes out for the next member drive day, I'd be interested in coming along. Prior to the RS I actually had a 2009 WRX, so the RS isn't my first foray into the world of sports cars. For me, the biggest difference between the two would be when the turbo kicks in. In the WRX it was dramatic and noticeable once you got to about 3000/ 3500 RPM but in the RS not so much, to me it feels a lot smoother, almost like the power is available a lot earlier on. I haven't taken either on a track so can't attest too much to the handling, but from purely a road experience, the RS also feels like it has a better grip on the road.

ClioF1 Posted 29, March 2016 Report Share Posted 29, March 2016 Nice colour, like the black wheels too. Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaesh Posted 29, March 2016 Report Share Posted 29, March 2016 (edited) Welcome mate! I used to own an RS250 Cup and loved every moment of it. Keep the wheels the 18" that came in the RS250 is probably one of the most sought after and it never got released in the 265 or 275. they only weigh 11kg and are a great ride when fitted to some decent rubber. welcome again and always good to see another QLD member, I think we are closing the gap in terms of members when compared to the southern states hopefully enough to entice some of their better mechanics *cough* RenaultTech *cough* to maybe open a branch here? Cheers Sam. Edited 29, March 2016 by kaesh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
