RenaultSport Megane 225/230 YozzaSport Exhaust
The long awaited YozzaSport Exhaust for the RenaultSport Megane 225/230 will be available from April 12th 2009.
RenaultSport Megane RS Exhaust From YozzaSport
Folks, I am delighted to announce that we are now settled on a lovely design and fabulous performing system for the Megane 225/230.
Andy Martin‘s R26 has for the last 4 months been blasting around circuits up and the UK sporting our new system, and we are just about to take it to be patterned over the coming weeks.
A Few Details on the new Megane RS Exhaust from YozzaSport
The YozzaSport Megane RS system is a 2.5″ mandrel bend stainless steel system. YozzaSport working with our long time exhaust partners – JP Exhausts, have designed a high performance road exhaust system that is compliant with every race circuit in the UK – mainly due to the now common 92db limits that are being enforced at circuits. The system is available as a cat-back system and we are pleased to say that should you wish to use a de-cat pipe – we are also including this in our options list.
It will be marketed as the YozzaSport Megane RS Sports Exhaust System
After spending quite a lot of time considering trying to fit a 3″ stainless system to the Megane RS – we decided that most people would not be prepared to modify the heat shielding, and possibly tolerate the bumping of the exhaust on the exhaust tunnel that would be caused by the expansion of the system when it was hot.

Future Megane 225/230/R26-R Exhaust Developments
We have intentions to develop a much smaller backbox for Megane RS owners who want to have a bit of extra noise as well as the performance – this may be ready by the summer – but, we will see.

RenaultSport Announce 2010 Trackdays
Renault has an award-winning, enviable reputation for building the best hot hatches with the new Mégane Renaultsport 250, Clio Renaultsport 200 and Twingo Renaultsport 133. Now owners can explore the limits of their track-bred pocket rockets in safety with Renaultsport’s exclusive 2010 trackday calendar.
The UK accounts for more sales of the French marque’s high-performance Renaultsport models than anywhere else in the world. As a result, the popular Renaultsport trackdays have been running since 2002 in the UK. This year’s trackday calendar, heavily subsidised by Renault, takes in two of the country’s best-known race circuits – Silverstone and Oulton Park, plus there’s the chance to join Renaultsport’s annual trackday foray to foreign shores with a trip to the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium or, for the more time-pressed thrill-seeker, an evening track session at Bedford Autodrome.
Improving driver ability is a crucial element of Renaultsport track days and every circuit will have experienced and trained instructors on hand offering personalised tips to improve car control.
As part of the programme, drivers have the chance to take the wheel of the latest high performance Renaultsport exotica for a few grin-inducing laps with the Twingo Renaultsport 133 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup or the new Mégane Renaultsport 250 Cup. They will also enjoy a “hot” lap in the car from the passenger seat with a qualified instructor at the wheel.
Speaking about the popularity of the trackdays, Phil York, Renault’s Marketing Director said, “Renaultsport trackdays are the ideal way of letting our customers share our passion for Renaultsport, as well as giving them the opportunity to realise the full potential of their cars in a safe and laid-back atmosphere. The tuition provides invaluable experience to improving skill levels.”
Full details for each event, including track, date and pricing are listed below:
31st March – Silverstone
25th May – Spa Francorchamps
11th June – Bedford Autodrome
7th July – Oulton Park
4th August – Silverstone
Bilstein PSS10 Clio Coilovers Launched
YozzaSport Bilstein PSS10 Clio Coilovers Launched
YozzaSport are pleased to announce the release of the new Bilstein B16 PSS-10 coilover kit for the RenaultSport Clio 172 and Clio 182. Intended to offer road and trackday enthusiasts as well as race and rally drivers an unrivalled coilover suspension package. Since 2005, YozzaSport have continued to develop their already acclaimed PSS9 suspension for the Clio RS range. We are now pleased to announce that our new Bilstein PSS10 front and rear coilover kit is now available.
Press Release here: YozzaSport Press Release
Working with Bilstein to develop the PSS10 kit, YozzaSport have opted for a front and rear coilover design more in line with race solutions used on Clio Cup race cars and VLN cars rather than use a separate spring and damper assembly as with previous designs. With a fully adjustable front and rear coilover suspension set-up the kit is versatile and it is possible to quickly adjust the damping rates with the suspension in-situ, making adjustments simple and highly effective. Andrew Hughes, owner of YozzaSport comments; “With many Clio 182 owners using their cars so aggressively on track, we had to develop a product that would cope with the demands, but needed it to still be lightweight, and simple to adjust. With the PSS10 you have everything in one suspension package”.
YozzaSport understand that a major requirement for motorsport users is to have the highest quality products, yet still enable them to be able to specify options such as spring rates. With a wide range of springs suitable for many different applications, as well as being able to offer shorter dampers for racing applications, we can offer a bespoke solution when necessary, at minimal extra cost. Hughes went on to say; “Until now, Clio 182 owners had to be satisfied with adapted road suspension, we can now offer them a full racing suspension solution.”
The use of Bilstein’s MotorSport proven upside down, mono-tube technology in the B16 PSS10 damper means that the Clio benefits from suspension developed and tested in the most demanding of racing environments. With their massive improvements to handling, damping and durability, the YozzaSport B16 are unrivalled in terms of build quality, reliability and versatility.
The manually adjustable damping monotube gas shock absorbers feature 9 or 10-stage precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The threaded body allows accurate adjustment of the front and rear progressive rate springs to achieve the vehicle ride height, center of gravity and level of performance handling desired.
The Bilstein B16 system puts the user in complete control of the suspension, providing the precise suspension adjustment formerly available only on race cars. From a weekend of competition to daily driving, this system provides perfect balance and handling performance. The Bilstein B16 system includes 4 mono-tube dampers with coil springs, and features: Monotube-inverted technology; Manual 10-stage compression/rebound damping rate adjustment; Height can be adjusted with system installed; Spherical top and bottom mounts on the rear damper units.
Priced at £2050+VAT the kit is available for: RenaultSport Clio 172 (Inc. Ph1, Ph2, and Cup), 182 (inc. Cup and Trophy) and coming in the New Year a kit for the Clio 197 and Clio 200 Cup.
The two new Bilstein coilover kits are viewable on the pages on the Yozzasport website. The Clio 172 Kit is available on our Clio 172 Coilover pages and the new 182 kit on our Clio 182 Coilover pages. Should you require any further advice, we have a wealth of information on our ReadyForTheTrack blog.

Clio 172/182 Cup Racer Dampers ::For Sale::
Clio 172/182 Cup Racer Bilstein/RenaultSport Dampers For Sale – £750 a pair inc. Delivery
The dampers are the only used part of this kit – everything else is brand new and unused.

- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Damper

- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Damper Lower

- Complete Clio Cup Racer Rear Coilover Dampers
Following on from my earlier bits for sale thread, I am listing these two pairs of Bilstein Clio Cup Racer Dampers separately.
One set is from the earlier Clio Cup 172′s (Silver) and the second set were used on the later 172 and 182 Cup Racers, however they are identical as far as I am aware apart from the colour. The silver dampers are slightly different lengths due to them being the earlier design – I can’t tell you why this is – but obviously this is not an issue, as the ride height is adjusted using the srping platforms. New the dampers alone are about £170 each, springs £60 each and the ancillarys such as the bearings, and everything else are about £250 per damper – So you are looking at about £1000 for a pair of the dampers new.
They fit the standard car and are fabulous for anything on track orientated – I actually ran them on the road for ages, but I am a little more hardcore than most – they were perfect with the vehicle that I was running, and were well rated and damped.
The Clio Cup Racers run with “Clio Cup” Eibach Springs – but you could quite easily update/uprate these with the Eibach. In this range the Clio Cup C-400 spring is the softest rate that Eibach do, but, this range goes up in increments of 50lbs at about £65 per spring.
I am not really negociable on the price, as everything in terms of parts is brand new. If you would like to pay on Paypal – fine – but you must pay the charges.
