  • Eibach releases Renault Megane RS Kit

    The latest Megane RS from Renault is a great car, no doubt. But, thanks to suspension gurus Eibach, Dieppe’s perennial barnstormer just got a whole new bag of party tricks.

    In standard form the car does a brilliant job of being all things to all people, but for those looking to achieve the ultimate in pin-point handling, without upsetting the Renault’s superb road manners, Eibach have released a selection of chassis upgrades to bring the Megane up to speed.

    The new Eibach Pro-Kit lowers the car by around 30mm and offers a drastically improved stance, better turn-in and lower centre of gravity for decisive direction changes. Working in harmony with the standard dampers, the Pro-Kit rides at almost factory comfort levels and truly offers the best of both worlds. The kit is priced at £170.00 + VAT.

    The final finishing touches can be added by fitting one of the selection of Pro-Spacer kits. These range in width from 20mm to 60mm and by increasing the Megane’s track measurement can drastically improve lateral grip and turn-in. The Pro-Spacers start from £61.54 + VAT per pair.

  • Harness Your Track Potential With Revolution

    Those North-eastern tuning maestros at Revolution have two handy gadgets for anyone who likes to venture out onto track regularly. Being regular circuit pedallists themselves, the Revolution team have been testing the best of the aftermarket to bring you these two gems.

    The first is as simple as it is brilliant. For decades now, most cars have some sort of ‘seatbelt out’ warning buzzer or beep for when the car is moving. Very sensible on road, but highly annoying if you have chosen to run a set of harnesses instead for road or track use.

    This simple ‘Beep-Stopper’ beltless clip fools the car into thinking that all is well, allowing you to buckle up into your 6 point and get on with the task in hand, without the annoying distraction of the car telling you what to do. Priced at just £4.99 inc. VAT, it’s a great gadget to have lying in the glove box. It’s also a great little tool for anyone in the trade who is regularly moving or parking cars on private land.

    The second device will hopefully will never see action, but is great reassurance for those who like to ‘push on’ a little. The high-visibility OMP belt cutter contains a safely covered razor sharp blade that will make short work of any harnesses or seat belts. Invaluable should the worse happen on or off road, allowing a rapid and safe egress from the car should buckles become jammed or time become tight.

    Priced at just £9.99 inc. VAT, complete with a hi-tack Velcro pad to allow it to fix anywhere near the driver, this is a thoroughly sensible addition to any  car.

    With the team already packing up their kit bags for this year’s Nurburgring testing session, be sure to keep an eye on the Revolution site for the latest track-tested essentials!
