Re: Ade's Renaultsport 182 Project
What have you been driving while the clio has been away? I have just
got rid of my 1.0 turbo focus works motor, going between that and the clio has been pretty funny
My clio was about 150 miles round trip there abouts so not too bad at all.
Other than that I have got quite lucky really and never had to travel more than 120 or so miles round trip which is nothing in comparison to some of the above posts!
Thanks for the replies, and yes I agree about the feeling like everyone was looking!
the standard ones are doing okay for now I've been out in the car today and tested them so I'll plod along for now.
They were put onto new brembo HC disks at the same time, i'm sure they aren't meant to be as loud as they are, it's embarrasing! the amount of people that turn around when I'm coming to a stop from 15-20 miles an hour was pretty funny (I wish I had done a video now).
I have put the oem ones...
Hi all
I fitted some mintex 1144 pads not long ago on the clio, however after fitting they were squeeling a lot so my friend removed the anti squeel shims, then noticed I hadn't taken enough off the edges and put them in slightly wonky and some more copper slip on it which seemed to solve it...
This is what I use at present, it hasn't let me down yet I just wondered if they were worth trying.
Cheers :)
gally I've just placed an order for a das6 pro and some new pads, I'll leave the rotary for now I think.
It looks like that's that settled then, I'll get the pro ordered, many thanks for your input :)
While I'm here what do people think to the poorboys SSR compounds? I'm a big fan of their stuff and wondered if it was worth trying them.
I'm trying to mix things up a bit and try some new products.
Thank you for the advice gally
When looking around on DW last night it seemed the das6 pro was well recomended, especially with the £99 group buy on there, I'm a bit out of the loop now with polishers my das6 hasn't put a foot wrong in 6 years! I'm hoping I can repair it and keep it as a spare.
Thanks for the help :)
I don't have a budget as such (within reason) I'm happy to buy the one that represents the best value to performance.
Whilst the two you linked look good spec wise are they are they really worth two/three times the price as say the spin doctor?
Hi chaps
Well today my trusty DAS6 decided to give up after about 6 years of use, I'm going to look into fixing it but thought I would use this as an excuse to treat myself to a new machine, so what are people reccomending these days DA wise?
I think I may buy a rotary aswell so I can go...
Yeah I know the area quite well, Get a pic of your car up so we all know who you are :)
we'll have to sort something out between us blackpool lot to meet up soon.
