My new RS250

After 11 years or more when I last had a Renaultsport (Ph1 172).

I picked up this stunning Red RS250 yesterday.
The garage I bought it from had it detailed for me which I wasn’t expecting.
I have used 3/4 of a tank already just enjoying being back in an RS again.

I have already ordered a straight pipe to do the mid box chop.

I will be posting more regularly with updates and pictures from drives out.

Thanks
Gareth

 

Thanks mate.

I did the mid box chop on it yesterday morning. Such a good modification for £45. Sounds much better and not over the top.
Ordered some new front discs and pads as they were dirt cheap from eBay.

 

Can’t decide whether to remove the Megane lettering on the rear or not?

 

I managed to get a brand new set of Brembo grooves discs and EBC Yellow stuff pads for £165
Will sell the pads as I’ve heard they are worse than OEM.

 

Cleaned the car for the first time since I bought it 2 weeks ago.


The car was ceramic coated just before I bought it so cleaning it is a breeze. Just snow foamed, rinse, iron-x, rinse, wash and waxed with Dodo Juice Hard Candy.
She comes up amazingly well.

I had some binding on the rear brakes which I sorted by cleaning the slider pins on the callipers.
Getting the passenger side wheel refurbed on Tuesday as I had to avoid a girl speeding on my road just as I was turning into my drive!

 

Red is the best colour in the RS in my opinion.
I’ve been debating about taking the lettering off the boot but keep changing my mind.

 

I removed mine a few weeks back. Regretting it now ha.
It looks better with when it’s clean but better without when dirty.
