    FERODO DS2500 BRAKE PADS

    Brakes dont really get comparably hot with road use. Another pad to consider is the PBS ProTrack which are only £100. They have a bit nicer pedal feel to the Ferodo and Mintex we sell.

    Another roll cage thread

    I'm going to pick up on a few words. You are new to trackdays so I'm going to say dont bother with a cage for the moment. If you primarily use your car on the road a cage, bucket seats and harnesses just becomes annoying. I did this once and wouldnt go back. Get some laps under your belt. Then...

    Brake fade with decent brake setup?

    I think you are disagreeing lol I upgrade the back. If the suspension is not too soft you get a benefit. I find the chassis more stable and doesnt work the front brakes as much as bias is not pushed forward. I'm going more aggressive on the rear of the Clio with its race suspension set up to try...

    Clio Turbos (the 172/182 kind)

    Theres a company that have just done a kit with a small garrett turbo. Hybrid Tune I think is the company. Was looking good on price £1799 plus VAT for the kit and £200 + vat for the mapping.

    Clio 182 xenon lights

    What make is the black one? Its a bloody minefield when trying to work out who does what.

    anti rust coating springs?

    We carry it in stock. The easiest to apply is the spray as it mists nicely over everything. The bigger bottles spray thicker and you then need to wipe over the parts to coat. If you need some Renault parts as well we can sort it in the one box. Theres also Corrosion block which is their thicker...

    Brake fade with decent brake setup?

    The rear brakes dont do a lot, but they certainly do enough to make a difference IMO

    Roll Centre Kits - Honest reviews

    I forget the name of it to be honest. Its not been sold for a while now. Good idea with the detail. Looks to be a step up from the other design which I dont think had that tightness of tolerance.

    Power Tool Perverts

    I've just been stripping down an MX5 - actually was not too bad underneath! Some seem to survive ok.

    Coilover gaiters

    They keep dirt out generally. I use them in combination with ACF-50 or Corrosion block. Double protection. You want to give everything a good clean after winter though or if you've accidently crashed into a field...

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    If you are happy with the current system why dont you get it cut back to nearer the silencer and then get some custom removable tail trims - you can then have a different set for your mood - like pairs of shoes...

    Roll Centre Kits - Honest reviews

    This is the reason I went for the Bridgecraft one. When we were looking into doing similar this is the issue we stopped on. We tried to work out a method to do it without machining but didnt come up with a cost effective solution. I forget the other that went on the market a few years back but...

    Decided we needed a cheap family car on lease...

    I'm paying £185 a month for a 5 year old BMW 328i - I wanted more car than what I could afford on a new car but I can see the added benefits of inclusive perks The kids love it as you can kick it out of junctions slightly sideways in sports mode and it drives well so suits what I need. Downside...

    Experience with the Pure Motorsport Shifter?

    Everything is built to a price. I'd imagine the average Clio owner would not pay whatever that comes in at. I'd hope that the original Porsche gearlever feel was better than a clio with a PMS shifter let alone that...

    Experience with the Pure Motorsport Shifter?

    If you want to improve massively on the PMS then you have to ditch the Clio gearbox. Its like stiring porridge compared to most japanese performance cars. Any kit that hard links the gearbox to the lever will find the vibration issue I think as its the link to the gearbox itself thats the...

    Experience with the Pure Motorsport Shifter?

    Short of getting dog cut gears you are not going to find time smashing through gears. You will find a rebuild bill though. Smooth unrushed precision is the order of the day.

    Always wanted one. Never had one! Help me buy a Clio!

    I think the seats look decent. I’d want to get them retrimmed to match the rest of the car I can help with brakes. I’ve got a few options for pads and plain Brembo discs are dirt cheap Www.kamracing.co.uk For plastics there’s plenty of cars being broken for parts. Everything you need will be...

    Clio 172 cup wishbones

    Genuine ones have more caster. Aftermarket ones are based on the Clio 172 ph1 generally

    Opinion: Bilstein B14 or ST XA from KW?

    Both are designed for road use so wont be too dissimilar on spring rate. I personally prefer the monotube dampers on the Bilstein.

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    No...all valid reasons. I didnt have those luxuries to start with so lost nothing. I forget no company ever really got a road kit ever figured out. I have a tb'ed 205 at work so might give it a start up for nostalgic sounds lol
  24. Kev@KAM

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    Why? The sound is great and theres absolutely no reliability issues if you have a decent kit. I drove a 205 on tb's daily for years.

    My Project Titanium 182!

    I think we are waiting on some new stock of the whiteline. PM me your order details and I can keep you up to date :D

    Fast approaching middle age

    Easy enough to turn the front wheels, lay on your back and measure the bolt spacing with a tape measure :D

    Brake setup

    Cooling is important. It lowers pad and disc wear. Largely cheap cars get cheap brakes. Its a mentality thats hard to shake and the justification is not always correct. The rear helps enough that its worth using if you like being the last to brake. Helps stabilise the car too. CTR you ideally...

    My quest for the perfect fast-road suspension setup

    I think it more applies to the Clio 3 and some of the other Renaultsport models.

    My quest for the perfect fast-road suspension setup

    The internal valving is the only thing other than the spring
