Ultra Blue Renaultsport Megane 175 DCi
So after 8 years of owning a 1.2 Renault Clio I decided it was time to move on. I looked around for weeks for a replacement, I started looking at sensible diesels and then looked at various petrol cars but I really wanted something quick that wasn't going to be daft on fuel costs, insurance, tax etc.
Step up the RS Megane, I had no idea they did an RS diesel! Any way enough chat, pics: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5484/9...15ac0686_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7454/9...cea048a8_b.jpg Plans so far: Get some standard wheels and decent tyres Cooksport springs Remap and dpf delete Clio 197 side skirts Colour code that spoiler that's on or replace with a Megane R26.R spoiler |
First addition seeing as it has no badges, I'll get if fitted over the weekend.

So a couple of updates, new wheels have been fitted and a new style RS badge on the rear.

Looking good! What are your other ideas to add to the car?

New shiny wheel bolts:

Careful, if those are "lightweight lugs" (e.g. aluminum/magnesium), they can be more prone to shearing off under stress. A friend of mine just destroyed his right-front wheel, hub, rotor, and fender because 4 of his "lightweight lugs" snapped while he was autocrossing.

Looks like a real pocket rocket you have there.
|
Cheers fella's and I will keep the bolts (lugs ;-)) in mind. I know a few people that have used them before me and the company they come from seem to be well recommended.
|
very nice Megane!!! is that how the stock exhaust exit is?? out of the rear valence?
|
Cheers :) Yeah that's the standard exhaust / bumper (fender). The non RS models have a single exit exhaust hidden underneath.
|
Looks great ... especially the attention to detail.
|
Thanks :) it's my pride and joy at the minute.
|
So what are you plans for other mods?

Ultra Blue Renaultsport Megane 175 DCi
Plans so far are:
1. Lower it around 30mm on Cooksport springs 2. Colour code the black spoiler 3. Remove the dpf (diesel particulate filter) 4. Stage 1 Remap 5. Fit Renault Clio 197 side skirts Side skirts look like this when fitted: http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1270395046 http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1270395381 Possibly a few other bits and pieces, such as removing the EGR valve. I also have my eye on a Pioneer AVH-X3500DAB stereo that will look the part interior wise, DAB, Bluetooth, Sat Nav etc. |
Nice looking Megane! Didn't know they made an RS diesel version. These were probably limited edition, right?
Keep up the good work! |
