99.9% of owners would have replaced those parts with used items at a fraction of the cost and down time. I've run mine daily for 2 and a bit years and it's not had any more time off the road than the wife's 2015 clio!
To run 280 discs you must have 5mm takenboff the caliper mounting faces. The bracket is also 5mm smaller from the hub mount holes to the caliper mount faces. You cannot just remove 10mm from a bracket for 300mm discs because this doesn't leave enough material between the caliper face and hub...
Welcome to cliosport Tom. Bit risky buying one of these unseen, I hope it's a good one. Has it been on other reg plates before? If you could find out what the previous reg was a search of it in here might turn something up.
Sounds like you got lucky with that ebay bid! Wonky exhaust is normal for a 182 that hasn't had its owner beneath it for a few hours. Reg is a bit chavvy though. Welcome to clio life ?
Yeah £2k is a bit excessive! What's the difference between the newer Meg 3 brembo and the ones you have? They are bigger right? But will they fit and are the mounting points the same? I'm surprised pure didn't fit them if it's possible.
If you were going to give up you would have done so a long time ago. You must still get a tingle thinking about what it will be like when it's done? It may still be a way off but at least it's making progress, just look at the shiny studs in that rusty old turbo! ??
Another thing they should be left the factory with. The mounting brackets cut those look a bit more complicated than the 1*2 ones. Did Renault devise some strange way of mounting the calipers?
Yep I got an email today saying on it way. Hopefully that's not all I get. That's not good reading on DW, I'm not sure any company could revive themselves from that level of customer dissatisfaction. But it sounds like Lee and Fay have figured that out in the past? Shame as the products are good.
Check all the bushes too. Wishbones, arb, steering rack, top mounts. Swapping those for poly ones will make a difference, especially if they are tired. If you go for BC's they do solid top mounts, you should probably get those.
If you're planning on competing in it checking the rules for the class you plan to run in would be the first thing to do. You don't want to waste money on mods that aren't allowed.
That will have the facility to blast them back to base metal. Most that advertise as doing alloy wheel refurbishment will be able to remove and refit tyres too. Google alloy wheel refurb near you and read the reviews.
