Ooh that's nice.. I wouldn't mind being a passenger in that for a few grin laps.
How much would I pick up one of them for? I would really like a car that I can get into the 250-300 BHP ballpark. Assuming the 265 designation means 265 PS?
My black mk3 is the 265 and yes that's 265 hp from the factory, although most run more than that, don't think mine is far off 300hp, if i have it mapped as it is i would be looking at around 350-360hp, after that a hybrid turbo would be required.
The Orange one was a 225, that's 225hp i fitted a mk3 engine (as it's stronger) virtually the same engines but the 265 has thicker con rods, the weak point on the 225 and R26.
My 265 i paid £8500 16 months ago, full Renault service history 1 owner, the 225 was £2250 4 years ago loads of paperwork with it, spent more than that on it
