Sounds like the one. I love what Renault are doing at the moment, i think the new cars look so much more modern and fresh than the other manufacturers.
You lose me when you start getting clever

It was based on the micra it said, but they were getting thrills calling it the new clio. They also said it was a bit bigger than the micra. It was in the 172 reddish colour if anyone knows what i mean. It did have the slightly megane back end, which i personally like.

If it was misfiring the garage should be able to tell whats gone wrong on the diagnostic machine. The exhaust monitors what comes out and the ECU adjusts everything based on that. If the air/fuel mixture was buggered in the slightest one of the many sensors would go mental and youd have a...
Ah we posted at the same time Ben..
One thing worth noting is what track will you be going on? Id agree with Ben taht all you need is pads if youre doing just a few trackdays a year. However, dont do anymore than 5 lap stints in the 172.

Drilled discs allow air movement and an increased surface area which improves cooling. So basically you can use the brakes for longer as they wont over heat with continued use, and so are good for track use.
Maybe your derogotory attitude is caused by experience? Where you have bought cheap...
erm..maybe in your view. Every race outfit i have been connected to use drilled discs. I remember TVR sales didnt use grooves because of the pad wear though. But hey, what would i know.
Philip has given some sound advice there, you want to get some drilled and grooved discs which combine good dispersion of heat and de-glazing of the pads, so more friction. As far as pads go you need something with a high operating temperature, youll have to think about it though as on road use...
This could just be the problem with the bumpstops, like with many 172s. Though it sounds like your dampers could be knackered...though that wouldnt make sense as its a newish car. Its under warranty so take it back to renault and ask them!
The brake assist is just over sensitive.

Fred,
There are a number of hypocrites here. People claim others are opinionated my posting completely self opinionated posts! I havent looked at the thread but i know KeithO is a good bloke and has been taking part in the fun, so obviously this person doesnt actually know what he is on about...
