My Renaultsport RS250 track/road/ring tool
Discussion
Nice car, although I actually prefer the front end of the pre-facelift cars.!
I recently bought an RS250 with Cup chassis (standard suspension, similar engine tweaks to you, 330bhp) - redefined my previous (out of date) views on FWD performance cars.
Almost as much fun to drive and quicker on most roads than my supercharged VX220, but practical (king size mattress in the back the other day), and relatively economic (easy 40+ mpg on motorways)..

Certainly different! Paint match is decent.
Think I might have gone for a coat of satin black on the I/C to make it all look properly stealthy.
The new Civics also have the I/C unpainted & it makes them look a bit forgotten & unfinished to me...
I did think about it but when they start to chip they look shoddyThink I might have gone for a coat of satin black on the I/C to make it all look properly stealthy.

Looks great mate.
I sold my E46 M3 recently to fund a new mom-mobile for the wife and 5 month old, they're happy with the Qashqai, and me, well my ass is itching, and I think I want an RS250.
From what I've read the LSD is a must, so Cup version, any other advice or things to look out for?

For the money these offer ridiculous amounts of practicality, performance and driving g experienceI sold my E46 M3 recently to fund a new mom-mobile for the wife and 5 month old, they're happy with the Qashqai, and me, well my ass is itching, and I think I want an RS250.

After having 3 sets of Enkei NT03 in 17x9 and 1 set in 18x7.5 (pretty weak fitment) I've been searching for a used set with good width and offset in 18" for about 2.5years and finally found them less then an hour away so it would be rude not to get them. I'll get better pics up later

Hi mate they are a fantastic choice as an arrive and drive and tbh you could turn up in a stock car and go pretty quickly.Most of the ring cars have KW clubsports with stiffer front springs and usually set up by raeder Motorsport. I use ferodo ds uno pares and endless fluid. A decat and Mao will bring you around 300+bhp and 340ish lbs torque. The stock diff (cup model only) is perfectly acceptable Von road track and ring.
