📋 Mod Wishlist — Tick off as fitted

Planned upgrades for the Megane RS. Click to mark as installed — changes save automatically.

✓
Dunlop Direzza Semi-Slicks 18"
Massive grip upgrade over standard road tyres. Single biggest time gain per dollar.
✓
KTR Intake
High-flow cold air intake. Better breathing, more induction noise.
✓
Unicorn Intercooler
Uprated intercooler for consistent IATs on track. Essential for stage 2 power.
✓
Bilstein B14 Coilovers
Height-adjustable coilovers. Proper damping for track work, retains daily comfort.
✓
Scorpion Downpipe
High-flow downpipe. Reduces backpressure, spools turbo faster.
✓
Shims
Rear camber shims. Adds slight negative camber on rear wheels for better stability and turn-in.
✓
Rear Brace Bar
Rear strut brace. Stiffens chassis, improves turn-in and rear-end grip.
❄️ Cooling
✓
Forge Alloy Radiator ~$2,300
Fixes the stock radiator design flaw. Essential for consistent track temps — #1 cause of DNF without it.
✓
Oil Cooler ~$600–1,000
Keeps oil temps in check during back-to-back sessions. Critical once you're pushing hard.
🛑 Brakes
✓
Track Pads ~$400–700
Ferodo DS1.11 / Pagid RS29. No fade, consistent bite lap after lap. Best bang-for-buck safety upgrade.
✓
Braided Brake Lines ~$150–250
No expansion under heat. Firmer pedal feel, better modulation.
✓
High-Temp Brake Fluid ~$60–120
Motul RBF660 or Castrol SRF. Stops pedal going soft mid-session.
✓
Grooved Rotors ~$500–800
Better gas dispersal, reduces pad glazing and rotor cracking.
⚙️ Drivetrain & Chassis
✓
Uprated Engine Mounts ~$300–500
Reduces wheel hop. Sharper power delivery out of corners.
✓
Short Shifter Kit ~$200–400
Tighter shifts, less slop. The gearbox is a known weak point — this helps protect it.
✓
Rear Anti-Roll Bar ~$400–600
Stiffer rear ARB. Reduces understeer, pairs perfectly with the camber shims.
✓
Powerflex Bushes ~$200–400
Uprated suspension bushes. Tighter rear end, more predictable mid-corner.
✓
PMS Stud Kit ~$200–350
Wheel stud conversion. Faster wheel changes at the track, no more lining up bolts.
🏋️ Weight Reduction
✓
Lightweight 18" Wheels ~$1,500–2,500
Less unsprung mass + perfect match for the Dunlop semi-slicks. Transforms turn-in feel.
✓
Lithium Battery ~$400–700
Saves ~10kg off the nose. Quicker steering response, better weight distribution.
