Nice video mate. I'm looking to buy one of these after someone nicked my m140i. Interesting to hear how the 250, 265 and 275 can all be remapped to the same BHP. Do they all have exactly the same engine then?
Also had the EP3 final edition to which I had for 7 years and loved it. Now a 250 with superchips but would like the centre delete! would this effect emissions? Is the BMC filter any good?
Centre box delete won't affect your emissions no it's a pretty popular mod tbh. You can buy the pipe off ebay for doing it. BMC does same job as the standard filter but it gives you the option to wash it when dirty and you can hear the turbo a little more also
Track tyres and road tyres are completely different. Don't use track tyres on the road but at the same time, semi slicks will transform the way these things perform on track
Hi, I ended up buying a 265 cup after watching your video. Love the wheels, they look like ats wheels? Could you tell me the name and size please? Does lowering this car with h&r springs ruin the handling at all?
Apart from the decat and remap have you done any other mods? Ive got a 265 redbull racing edition looking into getting it mapped to stage 1 but might get an air induction kit, de cat downpipe and an intercooler upgrade then go for a stage 2 map
I've owned a an ep3. Jad an fn2 for a year and I owned the white megane in this video. Civic is more fun and involving but the meganes are so capable and faster and not as noisey
Megane will always be faster and easier to tune. Mine was 315bhp. Civic is probably more reliable. I'd have either tbh but I'd have my megane over an fn2 as it was a 275 trophy and the seats in it were 😍
Trophy-R is a bit too exteme unless you frequently go to the track and if you've got deep pockets IMO. It's just too stiff and noisy inside to drive on the road.
Cheers pal.

Good video mate. Jumping into a 250 next week after having a 275 trophy when they were new. Didn’t last long as you know 😂
so the 275 trophy are not reliable ?

ATS DTC's in 18" cant remember the offset but they sat perfect. And the springs are fine i never felt they ruined the handeling

I don't own the car anymore but it only had intercooler,decat and remap
Being a trophy it had the titanium akrapovic system on it
Thinking about selling my fn2 for one what you think you drove both?
I've owned a an ep3. Jad an fn2 for a year and I owned the white megane in this video. Civic is more fun and involving but the meganes are so capable and faster and not as noisey
@@leeds106 what’s more reliable and if you get the fn2 upto 250 bhp will it be faster?
@@leeds106 and with a fn2 with lsd and eibach lowering springs does it handle as good?
Megane will always be faster and easier to tune. Mine was 315bhp. Civic is probably more reliable. I'd have either tbh but I'd have my megane over an fn2 as it was a 275 trophy and the seats in it were 😍
Plain and simple.😊
I want a 275 Trophy so bad. Don't they come with ohlins suspension?
Ohlins were an option so not all come with them. Ohlins and 19's with cup 2's were just about the only options really
did all versions have limited slip differential?
No only cup or trophy spec'd cars
Great car
How are you getting the PS fours s on18s
They are PS4's not PS4S's
Is it better than a AX
As an allround car yeah the megane wins hands down but for sheer fun the AX is just a laugh. And will be even more fun over winter when i turbo it 😎
Car looks well apart from the LUFC air freshener should be Barnsley fc one 😝 btw I have the exact same car same colour same 15 plate
Haha that air freshner has been in every car ive owned and is 20 years old. Bought it the day i past my driving test 😊
Forget the spec, just get the 275 trophy - r.
275 trophy for sure i loved mine. Trophy -R you need deep pockets for though
