Megane RS250 Cup

[Short Norman]

@-Jamie- hope you don’t mind me asking but do you know of the difference’s between 250 vs Cup vs full fat in terms of spec.

Going to look at this later today and I think it a 250 cup?

Cups are a bit more basic but could be optioned decently. FF obviously has a bit better spec but it isn't a huge difference really. Most of the options were pretty basic

 

[brisa4984]

The cup spec - LSD, climate, parking sensors,
250 - no LSD
FF - Leather, xenons, day time running lights LSD. climate, parking sensors,

Options:
RS monitor
Recaros
Day time running lights
19inch alloys

Looks nice that mate. As long is it's got the diff that's the main thing. Heated leather (lux?) or Recaros and RS monitor would be a nice addition. Theres other stuff like climate control, DRL's but to be honest a car without them shouldn't be a deal breaker IMO.

 

[brisa4984]

That looks like a cup with day time running lights as an option.

Id be going for a FF, xenons, leather recaros and rs monitor.

Small update, Going to just rebuild the engine as planned but will be sticking with the hybrid for now as id just like it back out and running now to get some TD's done this year, Will still go down the big turbo route in the future but for now id rather just get it back on the road. Found a reasonable priced clutch upgrade as well so once its back together ill be heading back down to EFI for a tweak. Hopefully clear the 370bhp and should see closer to 400lbsft but will only run it higher if Chris can keep the torque curve nice and flat as it was/is. Be interesting to see what difference cams will make and should be a good like for like comparison with it still being the same turbo.

Going to have the cage finished off in the meantime and look at some FRP panels to drop a bit of weight and Philip Nichols of Flintshire Performance Engines is going to be building the engine for me.

There's a full day at Knockhill in August im aiming to have it fixed by and maybe looking at getting out to Spa in October

Too much money and time in it now not to, had floated the idea of a track spec M car or maybe a K20 lotus but the Megane is still pretty cheap to run in reality

Lotus tax on 90% of parts.

Others are a pain to get hold of!

 

[-Jamie-]

Well, this is now provisionally sold [emoji24]

 

[FatRS]

That was sudden. Only saw the for sale ad earlier today.

 

[Short Norman]

How come?

 

[-Jamie-]

Fancy something different in the form of RWD and a V8

 

[brisa4984]

R8? AMV8 ?

 

[-Jamie-]

Nothing that exotic [emoji23]


Just an M3

If someone could buy this it would be great


Collect the replacement next week, Has twice the amount of Cylinders

 

[Speedy300]

So what's the replacement...

 

[Short Norman]

have you had much interest yet, would it be worth breaking it and selling off the tasty bits rather than selling as it stands.

 

[scotiamr2t]

So what's the replacement...

A clue would be.............. S65

 

[JB21]

Is the M3 your first RWD motor?

 

[-Jamie-]

have you had much interest yet, would it be worth breaking it and selling off the tasty bits rather than selling as it stands.

Few people, once the turbo is back, a few bits done and it's been detailed I'll push it a bit harder

Is the M3 your first RWD motor?

Owned Yeah,

Driven, nope. Be the first relatively standard one I've driven mind you

 

[-Jamie-]

So this has finally sold pending collection once I get it MOTd in the next week


Will miss it for sure

 

[-Jamie-]

So the last sale fell through due to lockdown and business issues for thr buyer but it's provisionally sold again, Not sure if the guy is on here but I'm sure his brother is

 

[-Jamie-]

Swapped the daily shitbox for it to drive it about for a bit as it's not done many miles since being all sorted.


Gonna miss it for sure, forgot how good it was really and it gets a shift on, litreslly needs some 255/235 03Gs or AR1s and it's sorted for track again

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Someone got a real bargain with this car, such an awesome spec.

 

[-Jamie-]

Yeah definitely , I'd be a happy buyer with the car for the money that's for sure. Afyer driving it a bit I think I may regret getting rid, should of just left it parked up haha
