this is a diagonal spilt service brake system with load sensed (compensator) rear axle
this diagonal circuit is preferred due to the fact that if you burst a front hose you still have some braking nfs our for example where as if you do a simple from treat split you will only have the rear brakes and we all know how poor they are.

sorry for making a mess of your thread mate
If you are starting from scratch mate, I personally would pipe it all in with a bias valve. The compensator is piped up as a diagonal braking circuit, so it can cause headaches when you decide to get rid of it, not to mention money and time wasted!
Ahhh how did i nearly miss a good brake debate... lol
If you remove the compensator valve youll need something else, as a bias valve (ap racing) didnt reduce the braking effort enough.
I use 2 x inline Ford pressure reducing valves, along with a bias valve, now works perfectly at long last.
I've just got the compensator and nothing else, after I fiddled with it, and set it in one place, the braking is mint. No rear lock ups!!
A long m6 bolt and a couple of nuts with loc tight. simple.
Its in the reshell bit of the thread.
Lol, forget it.
My old Rally Escort was stitched welded, just to allow a little flex, otherwise you would get windscreens cracking after a big jump. Tbh modern shells, esp Clio's have really robust shell anyway.
Fair play for tackling the sealant like that. I would have just sent it to a blaster lol.
I saw a bit of a seam welding chat and I would be interested in what problems your friend thinks it could cause?
My OCD wouldn't let me not do it now you have it completely apart!
I love how this is coming along.
I like how i am inspiring you with my Ph1 :smiley:
Tony plus a few other peoples opinions (people who race track and rally events) advising not to bother for various reasons (a few pages back i think). I was initially thinking it would be a good idea whilst i was here, but on reflection and speaking to various not doing it also makes a lot of sense. Its similar to the thought process with aero.
With regards to OCD, i am full of that so everything is being massively considered, want to do everything properly once - lucky i am in no rush... ha
The silver Ph1 with the rear difusser.
I think i am going to remove it though and just keep with a cut bumper
Fair enough. I would do it myself. The car is totally apart and every little helps. You can only really do the shell once, so it's best to do it right first time in my opinion.
This comes from someone who has a lot of background in engineering and motorsport by the way. As I say, my OCD wouldn't let me not do it lol.
Totally appreciate your advice, and that was my thought process (i will only do this once), but the other part of my thought process is will me and my driving ability even notice the difference....
Oh definitely not, but it's nice to know it's right, just for nerd factor lol.
I'm watching you.
What about some green 16" superleggeras?! They're on brand new 205/45 R888R's and have covered less than 100 miles! LolUPDATE:
So I may have potentially sold my custom Image Billet 95 wheels and the AD08's they are currently wrapped in. This wasn't planned, or at least not yet however a friend racing civics is in need of something and these seem to fit the bill perfectly. I was perfectly aware that for the clio they were not the ideal wheel for handling being 8" wide front and 9" wide at the rear, however they were wrapped in brand new (4 years ago) but unused AD08's, I was thinking I would use them initially when i got the car back on the road/track, get a little bit of wear but then sell them on. I am a little disappointed i won't see the car sat on them again, but I think this is probably better for the build (money and handling wise) and i probably won't be able to sell the tyres for that much later on.
So, in the short term i may need a couple of spare steel wheels to drop it down on, however in the long term i think i will go 15's, and i want something really light so potentially OZ superleggeras, but we will see, anyone got any other suggestions?
I dont like how you're selling everything Northloop!
Lol!Unfinished business more like :wink: TBF to you if you can get away and stay away from these you're doing better than me!

How about some willys boner? SuperL's look good but they do look small for their size imo. I love mine on the RB though.
Providing the engine sells, EVERYTHING is going mate. :up:I had thought about them obviously. But hadn't seen you selling anything and wasn't going to ask/pester you about them as didn't want to encourage you to sell up. PM me if they are going and a list of anything else that i may be interested in.
Engine first? keep me informed.Providing the engine sells, EVERYTHING is going mate. :up:
