Megane 250 CUP Track Car
Discussion
So going on from my last build thread that did not end that well https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... i have just picked up my new replacement .
I had been thinking about what to get and was looking at all different types of cars and was even thinking about turning my daily I30N in to my next track car https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
After reading up on a few different options like EP3/FN2 CTR , MX5 , GT86 etc i came down on the side of keeping to FWD as this is what i have had the most and feel happy with the FWD set up ( i know RWD is the connoisseurs choice ) so it was then on to going through all the FWD options that there are .
With all the research done and mind made up my plan was to sell the I30N and then get something that would be good on track but also ok on the road as this would now take up the duties of track / road car ( i do very few miles as i use public transport so the biased was for a more focused track car ) so would need to be able to handle both requirements .
So on to the new car then and as per the title i have picked up a Renault Megane 250 Cup in extreme Blue .
I was after a cup model with the RS monitor ( a basic version of information display like oil temps , inlet temps , lap timer , G meter erc ) and in Extreme Blue .
After looking at what was around it became clear that they are not a very common car and very rare in the extreme Blue colour i was after as they was only 18 made in this colour .
After a few weeks of no luck i was going to start to look at different colour options but really wanted the Extreme Blue but then one got listed on pistonheads and was only 2 hours away so i rang the chap up and asked if i could view the car ASAP .
After have a good look round and test drive i left a deposit and last weekend picked up my new Megane 250 Cup .
Below are a couple of pics from the listing .
I have not had chance to drive it much yet but it all ready feels special and can see it will be a very fun car .
I have lots of plans and many things / parts i want to put on the car so will look to update this on going .
Very excited and cant wait to get this out on track ASAP .

Glad to see your back at it! Was gutted to see the fiesta come to a premature end. Never commented on the thread but was one of the first ones I always looked for was a great read to see improvement after improvement.
Hope you enjoy the M gane and look forward to seeing the upgrades
Many thanks and it was fun adding upgrades to the fiesta and I will look to do the same to the megane and keep this thread updated .Hope you enjoy the M gane and look forward to seeing the upgrades

Extreme Blue is super rare in itself. Can’t see if it has Recaros, it doesn’t have lighting pack (Xenons and LED drls) but the RS monitor is a rare option (it’s a bit crap really
Looks lovely OP, love a bit of extreme blue!
It has leather Recaros and no lighting pack .Looks lovely OP, love a bit of extreme blue!
RS monitor is like a cheep Nissan GTR unit but does have a few good options like oil temps and inlet temps .
