I have the Brembo calipers upgrade and they are miles better cooling wise than standard units

Hi there, I just opened one of my headlights the other day due to one of the supports being snapped and boy it was probably the most difficult thing I ever did on the car. The factory glue that holds the unit together is almost heat resistant but anyway.. I managed to repair the damage, put it...

Yeah I know they're not a track pad but I don't have a track car either. I visit the track 2 max 3 times per year (unfortunately) and I don't abuse the brakes. I have some guys that do multiple laps on them without issues, I was thanking that maybe I did/do something wrong somewhere

Hi, After the last trackdays the pads lay an uniform deposit on the discs which also causes a light judder. I have the 197 brembo conversion with ds2500 pads and 300mm scenic brembo discs (which are new). I like to think that I bed in the pads properly. I only do 2 max 3 laps on a 4km track and...

because why a renault dealer could know such details, right? :))

all wheel bolts are the same on the mk2 clio rs's . m12x1,5 (not sure on the length though)

Hi, As I have a friend with a NA Miata and he was looking for a big brake kit, I've seen they also provide that kit with the Clio 197 calipers and 280mm discs. Nice thing is that the discs they sell are re-drilled 280x28mm thick discs from a Nissan Almera Tino which is 5x114,3 as standard. I...

Hi, Any idea where I could find a wheel boss for the one bellow? thanks!

also I'm starting to question wether I should get some ferodo ds performance rear pads (I'm running the brembo 197 calipers on the front with 300mm discs and ds2500 pads) to balance the braking performance as some say that a step above road cheap pads on the rear makes some difference

As I seen this has been brought up here, are the 197 rear calipers a direct swap to the clio 1*2s?

I would buy the poworflex arb inner and outer bushes, don't be afraid that the car will feel rough- it isn't. They're just gonna last you a long time- worth it

me again with an update: So I decided to finally machine some proper caliper brackets, and because I didn't want to hassle with drilling the calipers to make some "pms style" brackets for the 280mm discs that I have- I went to the 300mm disc route so I took the necessary measurements, made the...

Are these still available?

Hi everyone, So this time of the year is foggy windows back again. Did a search on this subject but looks like I covered most common issues so far: AC works spot on, changed some seals couple of days ago, did a refill and leak test and it's fine. Pollen filter is nice and clean and dry I can't...

wild guess is that ceramic brackets was a joke :P
