pbeyerman Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Picking up a new RS 250 Cup Trophee early next week...Sport Yellow. Big thx to Peter Warren R and Jess Clarke who were excellent. Was a member of the XR5 Turbo forum...sold that last week and now very excited to get into the Meg...had a pretty well modded 5...255kw at the wheels...but sooo impressed with the RS 250. Already have some mods on order K Tec cat Back Inoxline Cat Eibachs K Tec IC Ferodo DS 200 pads and Braided lines K Tec turbo inlet pipe Then after a few 1000 k's will be handing over the car to Jim Ghellis at Tunehouse for a custom tune. Afterr that I will be looking forward to a track day with the old XR5 forum boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Howdy, and welcome. Photos are a must once you've been on your first lap of the hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Welcome and congrats on the purchase! Sounds like you don't like to waste time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbeyerman Posted 12, July 2012 Author Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Some shots and some cosmetic ideas...is this the best way to do photos? http://www.flickr.com/photos/82440036@N07/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 It's best to direct link photos, but that works too. I'm not a fan of cars sitting on the ground, as it compromises their ability too much. I will be very surprised if your car actually NEEDS any of the mods you're planning - they're very well set up from the factory. If you're purely chasing asthetics, good on you. We don't have that many of that bent here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Oh, and none of your proposals have a black roof... perhaps have a look at Teki's ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbeyerman Posted 12, July 2012 Author Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Yes don't like the stance either...jsut the Eibachs... the photos mainly for the colour trim...not a lover of the wheels in this german one myself either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbeyerman Posted 12, July 2012 Author Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Checked the photos...like the black roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH58 Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Welcome That "german car" looks very cool but that's a little too dumped and what size are those wheels? Thing would ride like a bitch. Loving the front debadge though. No rear wiper either. Very clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je55 Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Looking very forward to your delivery next week Peter and the history that will be made with your weapon with some good ol Tunehouse lovin included! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Welcome mate. Sounds like you're onto the essential mods! But agree about the black roof: do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 I am also amazed by the hurry to install heaps of mods to an already factory prepped and tuned car that is ideal for track work for all but the most serious competitor.. I would recommend a few runs as stock to see what you do actually need to upgrade. Anyway, it's your baby and you can spoil yourself as you see fit. lollll Take care and enjoy!

HomerRS Posted 12, July 2012 Report Share Posted 12, July 2012 Welcome mate. And like Busgo said just get the car and drive it for a while. U will be impressed with how good it already is out of the box.. Cheers and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitejet Posted 14, July 2012 Report Share Posted 14, July 2012 Congratulations mate and welcome to the forum. I wish you happy and safe motoring. P.S. Wait till you try sports mode! Sent from my S3 using my neighbours internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puncher Posted 14, July 2012 Report Share Posted 14, July 2012 Those pics of the Meg look sensational to me. But I have to agree with others, it will ride like a biatch. Which is a shame really. Love the dumped look. RS Renault's are set up pretty well from the factory, and probably do it better than anyone else out there short of an exotic. Careful on the mods. RS Renault's are the kind of car where mods need to be chosen wisely if your looking at improving their performance. But if your after cosmetic looks. Then I guess its open season. Good luck and enjoy. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and enjoy. Steve +1 I'd like mine about an inch lower but I am so loath to mess with it, it's so damn good straight out of the box and the ride/handling balance is so well judged. Meganes run a really weird 65 offset too, and getting legal (legal requires a 52.5 or high offset) aftermarket wheels for them is just about impossible. Most of the Meganes I've seen with non-standard wheels are "technically" unroadworthy in Australia. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbeyerman Posted 15, July 2012 Author Report Share Posted 15, July 2012 My plans are to do the front and the rear like the pics but not the de badge...I also don't like the rims I think the standard are great...also I would not drop the ride like this...but I do believe the 1" down with Eibach's would be fine. For now I have ordered the K Tec exhaust and the Inoxline Cat, the sports filter Bmc, the kit to have the DRL on the heads. Fit that get a dyno run...then look at the K Tec IC...the forge I think is a bit too big restricting flow to the rad too much. Then another dyno run...check where we are at restrictions etc airflow etc...then consider the CAI...but want to see how the standard box with filter upgrade performs...after that consider the CAI...the Ingen or the Mulgari...also K Tec are in the process of developing one. After I have the hardware that I am happy with then a custom Tune at Tunehouse Marrickville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
