Based on the best price for a set of extra load contisport 5's My wife used to do 60 motorway miles a day and averaged 21 , i got in ours the other day and its reading 12 , buts just lately done loads of short town and back runs of 2 to 3 miles Its a 4.2 v8 , its not going to do 30 , most i...

You will average 21 in an s4 on reasonable steady runs , Our trip to lemans last year averaged 16 but was a little more spirited Tyres 600 quid set Service 3 to 350 every 20k

Never had reason to tell them as never been full time , but had to tell life insurance which years ago had an effect , does not these days

Missed a trick not being at brooklands saturday with a for sale sign on

Bad move not to if we are talking life insurance , does not affect it these days but used to.

nothing in 95% of applications

OP is this a car you just use for road use ?

or anyone who values good fluid , you don't need to be branson , its less than the cost of decent pads !!

http://jam-sport.co.uk/shop/renault-clio-295mm-4pot-brake-kit-with-seperate-bell-ap-rotor/ Says fits under 15" 2118 , i didnt doubt you could because i have had ap under 13" before And ignore that link as thats ap discs and willwood calipers i am sure you can get ap under 15's

Someone else will confirm but it states wheel size 7 x 15 Appologies its 16's

Ap calipers , disc and bell setup

Its a risk assesment , put in licencee and see what you get lol

i would say there is next to nothing in it . the 4 pot vs single pot in this scenario will be negligible . the factor here moreso is the larger swept area which should have the ability to produce more friction and therefore more stopping power , however i will go with they stop pretty much...

Which is what i said about it at the top , and under what was being discussed and road use i think Midnight is wrong in what he has said Also how the average billy brakes on track has huge influence on brake temps

And did standard fluid easily boil on the road ?

1 Oem fluid does not easily boil 2 we are talking about a clio 3 we were talking about the road 4 i haave driven on track all bar the latest e90 m3 on track standard and not boiled brakes. I did not say don't use race brake fluids i warned of what you need to be aware of . If you boil fluid...

Utter bollox , your fluid had absorbed water and needed changing. Oem fluid does NOT easily boil , i have used it on track and not boiled it with standard genuine renault fluid changed by the dealer the day before. If you can drive that hard on the road your not very bright. As it would be lunacy

You will not get better than SRF , period , you might get cheaper. However more to the point is why the warning is there , its not designed to sit around in a car like regular fluid , its designed to be changed often. Every 3 months we used to do , alot of people do it every race meeting

The actual reason is that while race brake fluids have very high wet and dry boiling points dispite being only dot 4, they are very hydroscopic. They absorb water and deteriorate much more quickly than fluids normally in a car for road use. Race fluids are designed to perform under extreme...

Its blue polyester in the carbon weave.

If you dropped it 25mm i would still re check it it has an effect and i am just saying i would , maybe by track car i should have said race car as thats where a small effect can loose time

Not strictly true , it has an effect and its your judgement as to whether or not its detrimental enough to worry about On a road car negligable on a track car , then i would always check and regeo

They need to build the engines first

You might have missed sam saying his dad has not requested it back under the sale of goods act Big clue there

He didnt show yoy half the aweful tat he could have , even kahn design had their own fairly large stand

The harris video is funny , he made the same comments about the aweful stuff i did

for clarity from the last time the belts were changed it means this - 1 if it's been 5 years but less than 72k _ change belts 2 If it's been 72k but not 5 years _ change belts Therefore the statement of 5 years OR 72k miles I would have thought was clear and in no way confusing ?

yep i would agree , but then i would either use a trusted engine builder or want to see for myself

Ah ,i didnt read it clearly , is it possible to tell if belt is off what came first ?

Just a question, you had all belts done by a garage, and 2 days later the belt slips, jumps, or generally shat its self, destroying the engine, and you're paying???? Am I missing something here?
