My 3rd RS megane (First being a R26.R, second a Oyster Grey 250). Saw it for sale last year with the spec that I wanted, so bought and have been tweaking ever since. A VERY capable car, and easy to live with on long jaunts to the North Loop..... Here's the spec. Megane rs265 cup 64 plate 340bhp 330lbsft Suspension/handling: Nitron R1 coilovers with 90N F, 475lbs R Nitron drop links Speedline evo corse 18x8” et47 with R888R PBS pro race pads (front + rear) Cup OEM grooved discs (front + rear) HEL Braided lines APM stud kit Motul RBF600 fluid Engine/performance: Milltek decat non res turbo back exhaust ITG maxogen induction kit Silicone boost/intake hose Pro alloy intercooler+ aux turbo cooler Rstuning hybrid turbo 630cc injectors Vibratechics lower torque link Gearbox bolt mod Odyssey PC680 battery HEL braided clutch dampener delete Powerflex engine mount insert Sound generator delete Forge recirculation valve Interior/exterior: GDF steelworks half cage CAE shifter RS monitor Recaro pole positions Sabelt harnesses Sabelt cargo net Sabelt tow strap/zero point one bolt CGR rear cargo net bar Alcantara steering wheel Carbon dipped exhaust surround + badges.
Sublime. Honestley, they're valved perfectly, and the ride is fine. The actual quality is amazing too.
I've got a set of AR1's to go on after I toast these tyres off, then I'm looking at: . New exhaust system, turbo back. Either a CGR full system with Zircotec coated decat or a 2nd hand Akra with a zircotec coated decat. . uprated radiator and new intercooler.......Thinking of trying either a Forge radiator/intercooler or the RS performance parts setup. I'm very aware that the cooling as standard is poor at best, and this is my biggest concern moving forwards. . Maybe 17x9"s in the future, like the protracks in red........
Nice, my Dad has the 3 way adjustable Nitrons on his car (Lotus). If I was going to change suspension on my car would probably go same route as you have done. Pricey but probably worth it in the long run.
