Carbon Lorraine RC5 pads are ideal for that

@Cub. I have my doubts, there's more than 1 factor in that equasion that would make that happen i.e driving style and braking etiquette for starters. Decent brake fluid, braided hoses and good track pads.... Works for me

Just don't fit 4 pots at all, problem solved... Overkill IMO

With the supercharger setup working on more horsepower as the revs increase, I'm looking into minimising potential belt slip at high rpms. When it was mapped first time round there were signs (although not proven to be aux belt) that the power would tail off. So I was thinking of trying to...

Regards going vernier would they work as an alternative when running 225 pistons as they don't use VVT? Set the timing up to suit using the pulleys and do away with the dephaser, maybe throw in some 197 cams too while it's apart. Been thinking about this as a next step up for more power with the...

Can I do away with the tensioner spring on the aux belt setup to create a manually adjustable alternative of my own Thanks

At least it could go back on the road :blush:

Does the shell have a VIN

All this reminds me of the good ol days working on R5 GT Turbos :smile:

I wonder what grade material they're using to make these? I guess it's finding a new weak point after everything you're doing

Suspension is already on full coilovers front and rear Brakes are all done bar changing fluid to Super Blue which I have already New Michelin tyres fitted when I bought the Superleggeras. Could do with a new windscreen, Steering wheel retrim. A decent wash and wax I guess

I know exactly how you feel! Money is burning a hole in ones pocket to go forged and up the power just to give me something to do :smile:

If I can deal with man flu then no AC in a 2nd car :blush: At least it didn't happen mid lap on the Nurburgring, is it a downpipe that's made by one and supplied to all companies?

That's a bit of a bummer about the crack in the pipe, I have to admit this is one of the plus points when I chose to supercharge instead of turbo. I don't have touch anything to do with the exhaust side of things. Still, a man of your calibre will have this sorted. One of my fave cars on the forum

The bleed valve of death! I remember seeing them on loads of R5s back in the day... Why oh why?!

I also think anthracite Turinis over silver and OE 182 anthracite wheels look better.

It was to give you an idea of how the silver looks on PB, I hated it at first and was going to put the OE anthracite wheels back on but they've won me over

I bought my expansion tank from here, it does exactly what you've described with the cap. It's been on a few months and hasn't split...

Around 30 were ordered in Petrol Blue, a marmite colour for lots of people. Flips grey, blue, green, gold. Dropped to 4th on the M25, thought I'd stretch it's legs a little

Gawd that was cold! But really good to meet a few people today, a nice selection of Clios

Status to definitely, I'm heading down from Newark tomorrow morning so I'll be there for half 10

Gonna try and make this

Mine was down on power too, Charlie mentioned it was running too rich robbing it of power (232bhp) Chris at EFI has sent me a lead so I can log the data for him to read off the Adaptronic ECU

Enjoyed the day yesterday, was nice to meet new club members I've seen on the forum. DSC_0196 by Ricard o1, on Flickr DSC_0198 by Ricard o1, on Flickr DSC_0203 by Ricard o1, on Flickr DSC_0205 by Ricard o1, on Flickr DSC_0207 by Ricard o1, on Flickr DSC_0208 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

V powered up and ready to go

Just toying with what to do next, I'm getting an itch to do another project so this might see its way to the classifieds this weekend. There's a rolling road event in Farnborough this Saturday i should be going to which will be a good run out for it.
