What sort of power was your Gti and how does the Renault feel in comparison? Power & 'pull' wise not chassis / handling

I love the alloys fitted to these. Are they available in other fitments?

The gti was running around 270hbhp and over 350ft/lb torque, the gti was deffo quicker than the megane right now not by alot but it is noticable

hopefully a remap will sort that, a remap will push it to around 265bhp but only about 290 ft/lb of torque, stage 2 meganes are restricted to 300ft/lb by RS tuning due to the major risk of bending rods over 300ft/lb

so i test fitted two of my red alloys today, take a look, i think they look great, will be used more for track/summer time. at least one needs a refurb.

undecided as to sell the tyres or keep them for track days

















quick 50/50

The athlete of hot hatches  :evilgrin:

I think the tyres give it an extra mean track look with the white touch in truth. The Michelins must be pretty effective too?

Like this a lot  :happy2:
I was looking at a 225 with Cup pack before I bought the GTI actually. Glad I didn't as I'd of just ended up wanting one of these...

Those wheels look superb :congrats: I've got a set of Pirelli compound slicks like these for track days and I think they're great (although good luck in the wet :driver:). I got mine in a medium compound and they do get very sticky once hot and hence wear a bit, maybe I shoulda got a hard compound? Do you know what yours are? Whatever you do that thing is gonna fly around a circuit!
