Do you mean the Turbo 2s or Gt Turbo phase 2s? Obviously a massive difference in them.

We do the Wilwood kits which are available in 2 different sizes for the Clio. About half a dozen cars on here are now using this kit and everybody is giving great feedback. The 1st kit uses standard 259mm discs and the 2nd kit uses 280mm discs. PM me for prices if your interested. Cheers...

All Clios have been called Lutecia in Japan. Even Mk1 Clios were available and you do see the odd Williams and 16v come up for sale over there. You also see very low mileage Gt Turbos as well as all the other mundane Renault stuff.

Yep, the discs go straight onto the hub and essentially we use the same caliper for the 280mm (172) discs and 259mm Willy/16v discs. The Dynalite calipers themselves are slightly wider than the ones we supply/fit for the standard size disc. Although, you can use the G88 discs, its not...

Calipers and pads themselves are the same. The carriers and discs are different.

From me. ;)

Lol. Sounds like Moggs has just got back from Merthyr? ;)

I assume its when you back off the throttle it pops out of gear? As Jonny says, the most likely thing will be the slop in the engine mountings causing the engine to rock and the car will jump out of gear. I dont think the tightness of the linkage will make much difference though. It could...

If the diff was worn they generally make a whining noise that will steadily get louder as speed increases. A failed diff will make all kinds of clunking, grating noises and also get louder as speed increases. Could also be a wheel bearing?

Bed them in about 10 mins is the way I do it. Get up to around 60-70mph and brake hard down to around 10mph around 3-4 times until just on the point of fade. Then drive at around 40-50mph for around 2-3 mins without touching the brakes to let them cool and thats it. Job done.

Technically thats 4 words jammed together. ;)

Thats either a heavily modded VR6 or the 172 and Cossie drivers A) cant drive for sh*t, B) the cars were screwed, or C) both of the above. ;)

Extremely dull cars in my experience. Boat like handling and generally un-inspiring to drive, although the upside (if you like that sort of thing) is that they are quite relaxing. Engines sound quite good, but not very quick at all. Would come a long way down a car list for me, just behind...

Agree about the exhaust. Theres barely a racetrack in the UK that will let you use anything over 98db. Engine looks very smart though.

Yep the prices quoted are for a pair of fronts. You dont really need to do much (if anything)to the rear. I use Mintex M1144s on the rear but also run a lot more rear bias than other Clios. The rear brakes are fine as they are although there isnt any harm in going to a slightly harder pad if...
