Have you still got that beautiful little S3? It looks mint buddy

Never liked these when they were new but compared to modern cars this is great.

Ive driven a lot of RS Meganes, including a 225 F1 in blue out in the South Australian desert (TLDR - fecking fast and the Cup chassis comes into its own on choppy patchy outback roads at 200kph++), but am currently in a bog standard Meg2 sedan complete with a non turbo version of the F4R RS engine. All I have is some eibach lowering springs and some bilsteins. Its my second beater car, we have a nice high end Guilietta as our main drive. But with a mere 99kw, the standard Meg2 still has 90% (o, maybe 80....) of the fun and character. Renault just do great chassis tunes, regardless of the engine.

£10700 i paid for mine brand new nearly same reg as this. Mate had a CTR at same time and the fun we had. good times

I owned this car many years ago in 2016 for a few years. Did my first ever Nurburgring lap in it! Nice to see it’s still on the road.

Just go and get a ecu master plug n play ecu and get chris to map it at efi parts done

What size tires did you use for track?

I’ve had all sort of fast cars from m4s to rs5s I recently got an fn2 and for the money it’s all I want at this stage fun car to drive around with rrc 3.5 true cai to the fog vents japspeed 421 and tegiwa 70mm its comfy on the inside with a Lovely double din I can daily drive the car plus have fun also practicality of a huge boot and reliability yes it’s not the fastest 120i stage 1 can beat it but those days of trying to have the fastest car on the road are behind me just enjoying the car every day for the money you can’t beat an fn2

Stop calling it a Arb it is called a A.R.B short for Anti Roll Bar

How does it compare to a mk3 Clio RS?

I have one, it really is a special car.

Who makes that intake duct? That looks amazing.

Any vids of the car driving since the cams and tune?

What all is done to the engine? CR , fuel , exhaust size?

I bought mine two months ago and I am absolutely loving it so far. The only issue with it is that the bonnet has more chips than fucking McDonalds but aside from that it’s a clean example for its age with only 52,000 miles on the clock. This may be an unpopular opinion but I have always preferred these over the EP3 as I believe that the overall styling of the interior and exterior is more desirable.

Fn2 is poop. Had them both. R26 smashes it

I’m glad they were not to be honest with you or else I wouldn’t of been able to afford mine 😂

Came across one today with only 28k miles, 21yrs old...i went in thinking it was a car to be scrapped,but it's immaculate...very close to the Toyota Super twin turbo i came across which is used as a garage shelf,with only 7k miles on the clock...there's gems out there!

Currently rebuilding the engine and gearbox lol.

Quality🫡

Both these cars would benefit from small steering wheels 😀

Your Cup looks great. Mine is a bit worn out at the mo but made 168,2 at EFI a few weeks back.

Great video 👍 the music went really well with it, I'd like to hear the car's a bit more in my opinion. But thanks again for more content 🙂

This looks great! Looking to go spa next year. Any suggestions on accomodation?

Rusty or just dirty

That's good fun Chris , a group of friends working together and having the same interest. You are making memories that will last into your old age, that you will be able to reminisce about . My friend, my brother and myself, did this sort of thing in our late teens and early twenties, back in the eighties, with trips through France and to Le mans, in our modified classic mini's. Seeing you up there at Beachy Head reminded me of my similar Sunday morning run up to there, in my Peugeot 205 gti 1.9, 13 years ago. Looks like I parked in the same place . I have an old video on my channel , it's just stills showing me parked up .I still have the car and now a modified F56 Cooper S. You are right, that it's not all about horsepower. Your clio is a perfect car for what you are doing. Keep enjoying yourself. I will keep an eye out for future video's.

Perfection!

I'm 44 and everything in my soul is still 25 and I need friends like this 😂Top vid, my idea of a Sunday morning 100%.

4:31 That's the corner you had the wrong top mount on. Maybe it's something to do with that unless you've already sorted it?

Looks a nightmare to work on ! My farther was a Renault fenatic and i always rember the 19 16 valve he basically had to take the front end apart to do the alternator lol

I’ve always wanted one of these

Cool car

Thanks for another video, glad to see you getting back into the video side of things. You're making me miss my old Renault's so I'll blame you if I buy another 😂

Good vid

With the 10mm pms front spacer. Does the wheel still locate itself on the hub protrusion? (E.g. the wheel is able to be centralised to the hub without bolts).

Definitely carry on, always good stuff!

My 182ff top mounts have about 10mm gap both sides. Old style nuts with cup dampers and cooksport springs. Wish i had lowered a bit less really. There's definitely something wrong there.

You don't need to clean your car before every video - the camera hides a lot of things (film from a distance) Lovely Cup - defo get a stainless stealth exhaust and have a look at that top mount. Looking forward to see what your mates cars are. Video production is fine for youtube but I understand the feeling of trying to keep the quality level really high.

Get a 'Snappy' refurb wheel. You can choose your own material and colours.

I nearly bought this back in November/December. I just missed out but I have a Cup now which needs a bit of work. However, it's putting out 168.2 bhp after a tune at EFI last week.

Hi Chris, your content is always super clear and clean. Please keep it up! What cars do your friends have you'll cover? Looking forward to that

Great work! What's the heat shield that you are using?

Hi Chris, car look lovely! You’re back on your roof top?! Did you film just north of St Ives?

Looks great Chris, watched your rear beam video yesterday as research! Would like to get mine to a similar state soon

Looks awesome dude

So your engine is pneumonia hogeya ehh hogeya Vanessa to me engine,😊😅

I so miss my 172 Cup. It was an ex-demo car so I got it practically new at a great price with 80 miles on the clock. I got divorced and had to sell it after 5 years, but I do believe someone in Tunbridge Wells now has GXY (my buddy who lives there saw it at a youth football game). I see you changed the steering wheel. The original didn't have the dimple texture around the thumb grips - at least mine didn't, and it started to disintegrate, split & peel apart in the Summer. Best car I ever had, and it is a classic.

Mines cleaner ngl

2 years see 👀 🤣
