Vectra was boring, my mate needed a family friendly car.
Keys exchanged.
I now have this 225, which i already know inside out, and have done since my mate got it in early 2009.
FSH, work either done by me or my other mate that I worked with at Renault.
Milltek non resonated, Milltek Decat.
Samco boost hoses.
RS Tuning map, RR'd a bawhair off 270bhp.
18" Cup wheels.
Too fucking cold to wash it but i went into work and hoovered it & done the tracking today since i'm on holiday and bored.

Nice cars these, also a bargain considering the power and practicality.
That rear end is proper marmite stuff though.

Not bad tbh, i worked at Renault for 3 years.
The Vectra was a 2.0 Turbo, Megane needs a few odds and ends that i can take care of and he already had the parts.
I have been pesterin him to sell me it for months, it sat hardly used since October, now has 2 kids so Vectra is a tenporary sensible measure while he buys a house etc

I love these, such a unique looking machine.
Only problem I find with the Megane is they leak a lot and you end up with water in the doors
