Have you spoken to Frogjam? - https://frogjammotorsport.co.uk/collections/clio-2rs/products/oe-equivalent-rear-brake-discs-renault-clio-172-182-mk2-rs?_pos=5&_fid=b5a7f70f2&_ss=c

It's not the first story I've read on MTEC discs tbh.
I would certainly consider requesting a refund and investing in a higher-quality product. It's concerning that the bearing is moving so freely, especially considering the importance of reliability, particularly when hooning into high-speed...
Yeah that’s the scraping sound. It shouldn’t be hitting that.
So from what I can see : The discs aren’t genuine, the carrier bolts look too long. What could possibly go wrong 😂
Did you buy the discs from Frogjam like I recommended?
Picture of mine without the spacer but showing the bolts. Your bolts seem a bit long.
My spindle seems to stick out further as well. Might just be the rust and picture angle. But something doesn’t seem right there. The carrier bolts are a very specific type from Renault. You can’t match them...
I’ve only ever used original discs and always fit it that way. Never had an issue.
There looks like some scouring on the inside of that hub carrier mind. Where you’ve drawn red circles around the bolts.
The last photo shows the flat face of the spacer. This goes against the bearing. The first picture of the spacer is bevelled and sits against the spindle. So that goes on first.
My Macs usually last a few years from a productive standpoint at least.
I have 8 machines from over the last 20 years sitting in my cupboard at work. I’ve been using them since the mid 90s. They’re great for the first few years, then with constant OS upgrades they slow down to the point where...
Not exactly a walkthrough but it might help. Not too difficult. Just take your time.

That's the bit I'm unsure about. I can't recall my sills ever getting filled up.
Some holes are at the bottom of the door panel - near the UCH - that's quite a vulnerable area.
Water can reroute if there's blockage around there, water can access the sill.
As above, are sill drains not blocked?
Mine came through the door card. Telltale signs are water sitting in the rubber with a line of water dripping into the footwell.
The solution was to take the door card out and reseal it with Butyl tape. That wouldn't explain why the sill is filling up with water though.
Have you checked...
The last owner said 920kg but I think it's heavier than that. It has got a fibreglass tailgate, the bonnet's guts are ripped out, no carpet, racing tank (20 ltrs) but full interior.
My last car was fully stripped out but had a full RO22 roll cage, plastic windows, one seat. That weighed 940 kg...

My 1 photo from Croft. They actually managed 4 in total, that’s how bad the red flags were. We spent more time in the garage or pit lane, than out on track.
Thanks Jon. That’s the only footage of it in the wild. Super quick car. My mates in the Megane 250 Cup said they couldn’t get near me going down that straight. Just need to sort the handling out now and grow a pair 🎱🎱
I’m not attending it sadly. I’m just going to get the bits done to this car and then book a day, probably June/July. I’m working that day as well otherwise I’d have popped over 😔
yep. Have you ran your Clio on PS3s before? I mean if you have and you prefer the AD08Rs then that‘s an opinion based on experience, and a valid one at that.
No hate fella.
I just think for an old road car, with lots of wear and tear, the smart move is to try and stay as close to factory as...
I’m a Yokohama fan boy. I literally spend thousands of pounds a year buying them. I drove my track car to Croft this morning on PS3s, I drove around the circuit on my Yokos and then drove home on my PS3s.
the OP said no track or boy racer s**t. Just go with PS3s Dave 👍
