Henk does custom mapping also, he did a custom map for my Clio last year after I changed the dump pipe and went front mount intercooler.

I think the megane iii has a front mount intercooler as standard, it works well with a remap.

Don't cut this paint, polish back only and then seal.

With a few simple mods these cars are very capable, been driving mine since 2017. Tyre wise, I’ve had Dunlop sport Max RT, Kumho KU39, federal rs-rr, mich pss, Kumho ps71, Hankook rs4 and next month I will try out conti mc6’s. Best sizing for 17 is 215/45, for 18 it’s 215/40.

Yes to wrapping the roof, the cars roofline looks lower when you break up the paint yellow paint. It’s a good eye trick.

There is the other problem with dealer used or second hand, you won’t get as good lending rate from the banks.

The Cup and Trophy model EDC’s have an LSD fitted, but not the sport.

Get the pro-alloy intercooler setup (includes both hot and cold side piping up to the throttle body), will work extremely well with the dump pipe change out and custom map. The itg intake is handy in the last thousand RPM, the stock airbox will become a restriction. The motor should from 162kw up to over 190kw.

Graphite is a nice colour for those tibor rims, I wouldn’t mind doing that to the ones my clio one day.

I will keep an eye out when I'm on the roads around the hills.

It’s a 2014 Cup thanks. I’m also on hot hatches Adelaide Facebook page.

Hey there, pretty sure I've seen your car on the Northern Expressway a few times or going down Curtis Rd. I live over at Munno Para West.

You can also use Castrol edge 5w40, it meets the Renault standards as well. That was selling for $60 at auto barn last week.

Its French but also common with the Nissan Juke in the car world. The motor is a Nissan and I'm sure some of the electrics in the bay are also Nissan bits. I think you will like the clio but, its super around corners and the brakes work well. I have also done the rstuner map so its very decent off the line too, e-diff function works in overtime out the corners now :p. The gearbox is frustrating in auto mode as it shifts too late or too early and can sometimes feel jerky in traffic (I guess its shift map was for a standard tune). But to get around that I always drive it in manual and that makes the daily drive a much smoother thing. The ride depends on the model version you get also. I drive a cup model and its stiff on SA roads, the sport model I think rides a little softer and then the trophy version I know is firmer and lower than the cup. Filter from bmc is cheap and rstuner kit was around $600. Then $100 for a deres and you have a very simple stage 1 setup done.

Nice, Euro Garage is a good choice.
