Smile Hello from a Renault Megane Coupe MK1 owner

Hi all,

My name is Andy, im from the Netherlands and I'm a amateur photographer and a System admin (full time). Im currently driving a Renault Megane Coupe MK1 1.6e 8v.

I always liked this car and last year I bought one and been fixing and optimizing/tuning it with great pleasure. Its quite an easy car to work on, a Haynes manual has helped me on more than one occasion.

Currently I've done:
-Supersprint exhaust manifold (heatwrapped)
-Straight decat pipe (heatwrapped)
-Elia Tuning muffler (90mm)
-NGK Iridium plugs
-FSE Powerboost valve (PBV)
-Pipercross Venom intake + Ltec Duct
-Koni STR.T kit (dampers + springs)
-Toora strut bar (front)

Im always searching for more performance and maintaning a reasonable fuel consumption (high end power gains do not concern me much).

Some pictures

@Waynne
Maybe a camshaft swap, but Im also thinking into swapping my car for a 2.0 litre 16v or something, although a 2.0l engine is also a fuel guzzler

@T9 man
Thanks a lot!
