Tael Posted 15, October 2017 Report Share Posted 15, October 2017 Came to say hey hey Bought this machine earlier this year after my previous car was written off due to a collision. After carefully considering the market options, I became hooked for a Megane III RS so I set out for one. Ended up finding this nice example in my perfect combo (Pre-facelift, Grey, Cup+) from a top notch owner in Victoria. Paid for an interstate inspection (shout out to State Roads), flew down to make the deal, and drove it up for its new life in NSW. Funny story: Since rego cannot be transferred interstate, previous owner kept the plates and I drove up some 900km with nothing but a piece of paper (UVP permit). Didn't get pulled over once by highway patrol even though many had definitely spotted me. 1km out from home, I get pulled over by local PD... Anyways I work nights so I'm mostly buzzing around the western burbs under moonlight, but look forward to hitting up cruises tacking onto the RS train...

Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Hehe I actually really like the stock sound level. Sport mode is plenty loud ...for now. The only thing that will possibly be deleted are the side decals as they're fading to pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only louder (only slightly) but it also liberates all the POPS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdm21 Posted 29, December 2017 Report Share Posted 29, December 2017 Agree with deleting the resonator, huge grins inside and out. I have the same model but in white. Strange the stripes colour is washing out, no problems with mine after 4 years - maybe not waxed often enough?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
