thrtytwo Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 Hi all, I have had my 275 (No. 815/1000) for just over a year now and I love it. I've owned a couple of "performance" cars over the years and this is by far the best drivers car I've owned in stock form. The first time I pushed it through some corners I was so surprised at the way it felt, as though it had infinite turn in. Have previously owned a Nissan skyline R32 Gts-t, which I really wish I had held onto now. And a Focus XR5 / ST, which was a good car too, I still think that Volvo 5 pot might be one of the best sounding engines ever. Both of those cars were mildly modded (Intercooler, intake, exhaust, wheels, exterior cosmetics, interior upgrades etc) but I've kept the Meg stock so far as the 275 trim really has so much to offer already. I have some plans to start modding the Megane slightly but I don't want to go too far with this one given it's limited edition, everything will be reversible and mostly just small enhancements, starting with Apple car play as it seems Renault and bluetooth music aren't well known for being very compatible 😂 I'm in Perth so if you have any recommendations for tuners, mechanics, parts shops please let me know Also it seems as though this forum may not be THAT active anymore? If there is a more active community on anther forum or even Facebook or elsewhere I'd love to know, cheers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt205 Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 Welcome mate! I think you'll find it's relatively active here, unless you are looking for social drives every other weekend I guess. In terms of experienced advice, long term, multi vehicle ownership, I suspect you'll be hard pressed to find anything that comes close. Love a white Trophy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply, having had a quick browse through all of the sections I can see there is a lot of knowledge and experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 Welcome! Yeah this place is where the most experience and best advice lives. Bookface will be active but with a lot of crap. Not a huge amount of social stuff here unfortunately as Matt said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
