Renault Megane 250 Cup

Renault, originates from France in the land of Europe and this is their latest hot, hot hatch, a Renault Sport Megane 250 Cup. In short, it can also be called as RS250 Cup. In the early life of any RS250 Cup, it was just a standard Renault Megane which rolls out of the Renault factory in Yvelins, France. But, when the bog standard Megane reaches to the hands of Renault Sport engineers in their factory located somewhere in Belgium, that standard Megane starts to see some lights at the end of the tunnel.

Renault Sport begins to mix the performance recipe for the Megane which starts in the power department, a healthy 250HP with a maximum torque of 340Nm right from as low as 3000RPM is churned out from a 2.0L turbocharged. In the handling of power, the 250 horses are channeled down to a 6 speed manual transmission and to the asphalt via a pair of 225/40 series tyres on 18" wheels. The torque split between left and right is handled by a mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) which is only available for the RS250 Cup.

Renault Sport also updated the Electronic Stability Program of the standard Megane where it can be selected either 'On' (default), 'Sport' (less assisted by the ESP) or even 'Off' (no ESP assist) for those who dare to contain this hot hatch. The interior of the car even includes a LCD digital display which can be chosen to display lap time, real-time engine performance and even a display of throttle pedal mapping!

Nissan 180SX

First introduced in Japan back in 1988 with the chassis code of RPS13. The R stands for hatchback while P stands for engine type used and S13 is the generation of the chassis. This because S13 chassis also do comes in two-door coupe variants with the chassis bearing PS13. The difference between the two is, RPS13 is called 180SX while PS13 is called as Silvia.

By normality, the number 180 in 180SX indicates the size of the engine it has underneath the hood which is a 1.8 liter inline four engine which either comes with turbocharged or non-turbocharged. A turbocharged 1.8 liter engine bears the code of CA18DET while the non turbo charged is known as CA18DE. But somehow, later in the years of 1991, 180SX also comes standard with either a 2.0 liter inline four turbocharged engine bears the code SR20DET or a 2.0 liter inline four non-turbocharged which is also known as SR20DE. Though the engine is a 2.0 liter, it still bears the 180SX name.

Ok, now here's a little knowledge on the generation of 180SX's calling names according to its year of manufactured.
      1988 - 1990 is called as Zenki
      1991 - 1994 is called as Chuki
      1995 - 1998 is called as Kouki

My favorite is the Kouki generation. Manufactured in 1995 through 1998. Some sources even claim that there are 1999 models rolled out of Nissan factory before Nissan decided not to continue with 180SX's production. Kouki or most commonly referred as a Type X is by far the most prettiest among of all standard looking 180SXs.

This is true with the aid of improved front fascia design with the larger air intake and even wider cheek results in more fierce looking. At the back, the little boot lid spoiler (available on Zenki & Chuki) were gone and the rear tail light cluster received major improvements with twin circular brake light on each side and the indicator is squeezed between the two circle. Meanwhile, the reverse indicator is at the same location as the previous generation's.
