so I bought a eunos!

[renaultgeek]

After selling one of my motorbikes, I purchased myself a 92 eunos for some fun which isn't provided by a diesel megane! Got myself a nice black one, stabdard except for 17" wolfrace wheels(wouldn't be my first choice, size anyway, style is nice) and a front chassis brace. Really enjoying it so far, much as the weather hasn't been great. I'm not sure what direction to go in as far as upgrades and tuning but I'm sure you all have plenty of suggestions!

15" wheels (it will handle a bit better and the tyres will be less than half the cost)
Induction kit: Sounds more powerful (but isn't really)
Exhaust upgrade: Sounds more powerful (but isn't really)
Suspension upgrade: Handles better (who needs more power anyway?)
Audio upgrade (for when you aren't thrashing it in the twisties)

Definatly change the wheels to 15" and stick some decent tyres on first will handle a lot better, Toyo T1R's are good.

Then maybe a sportier exhaust, could also drill the standard airbox to give a slightly better sound and its free

I did this to mine (as I'm a secret chav at heart) and it's actually really quite worthwhile! Makes a fab sound at wide open throttle but not at all noisy when cruising. Top marks for that tbh and it's nothing for insurance companies to worry about either unlike induction kits

Does this not reduce power?
And what about MOT time?

Possibly reduces power by virtue of drawing in slightly warmer air from the engine bay, not the induction 'scoop', but I've not noticed a difference.

MOT time - no difference. All you're doing is easing the pathway for air to get to the air filter. The holes don't enter into a closed system, they just are drilled beneath the air filter giving easier airflow.

As has been said get those wheels changed !! Then make sure the tracking/camber stuff is all good, makes a noticeable difference, especially if it is currently pants !!
