Easy to check. Take the caliper off and see if the sliders have seized and try and push the piston back. You will see if the dust boot looks gubbed then it will most likely mean the piston is seized. These calipers are a peice of pis5 to overhaul anyway and it should only cost you about £20.

Exactly???

The fact is without a cat you won't pass all the emission tests so it is illegal for a car registered after 1992 iirc not to have a cat.

Did you buy bearing and discs separately? They come complete if you get them from Renault, recommended. What was the problem then? Sounds like a sticking piston to me which doesnt just go away.

If the sticking piston suddenly frees itself you will have no braking at all as all the fluid is pushed to the place of least resitance, ie where there is no pad. You'll need to put up with it or not drive the car until replaced. I would not drive the car tbh.

Re: Attention Nurburgring pilots (any track really) - Some advise required if you ple I use Pagid blue's, Brembo Max discs and Motul RBF600 fluid. The brakes still get very hot (obviously) but have never faded on the 25 minute sessions I do at trackdays and I am very heavy with the brakes also...

I have KW V2's, AST top mounts, polybushed wishbones and front ARB, Whiteline rear ARB and a big smile on my face when I go round a corner!

About 1 ltr but it depends on how much you bleed them. Dont scrimp on the fluid and make sure all the old fluid is flushed out of the lines.

Just make sure the mount is the right way round.

Cool, just thought I'd ask.

Is there no blanking covers on the F4R block? I fitted defi gauges to my P1 and removed a blanking cover next to No.3 cylinder (hottest oil temp in an EJ20 block as its next to the turbo) as you will want to know the highest oil temp. The oil in the sump is the coolest. Its not so critical in a...

If it's a track car strip it out to lose some weight. Also ditch the engine cover, cups didn't come with them for a reason. ;)

Agree!

The only issue ivefound with not masking off the hub face of the wheel is if you use them on track or very heavy braking, the hub can heat up and melt the coating causing the wheel bolts to loosen as there is now a gap between the wheel and the hub.

Cheers mate, would really appreciate that! Thanks! :approve:

Did you get any shots of the blue Clio 172 cup? That was me! ;)

This is what knockhill have told trackscotland: They (the drift cars) ARE NOT on track with us... They are doing an event during the day on sat and sun so will simply be around the paddock. KH have confirmed that there is no danger that the drifting will over run. quote from Gemma @ KH...

Not a trackscotland one on the 22nd but may well be something else. Get booked up as they are a great evening.

Session is booked so from 6pm onwards you guys will need to vacate. :rasp:

Guys, Another good track evening coming up on Saturday the 20th of August between 6pm and 8pm. The cost will be £75 per car and £10 per additional driver. Also, some of the very exotic cars may be doing passenger laps for £10 to raise money for charity. Get booked up as they are cracking...

Forgot to mention it will cost £70 per car not driver.

Anyone fancy a 2 hr track evening at Knockhill tomorrow night? Always a good crack with the Trackscotland bunch and usually some good cars too. It is running from 6pm till 8pm so be there for 5.30 to get signed on. There are a few places left but it would be good to see a few more Clio's...

£477 delivered for a set of 4 from Speedline direct with the discount excluding tyres.

Had them removed on my kw's but it kept making clunking noises so put them back in. Only gave you an extra 6mm or something.

How low are we talking?

Why do oems make things worse on later cars? Cost??

Motul 300v 5w40 fully synthetic

Do you not need to have some kind of breather to allow vapour expansion?

Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!! I can never get heat into my rears. I would check the rear wheel alignment in case there's some hub issue/damage.

Be careful as well as if your car is purely for the road then a full 6 point cage will not be covered by many insurance companies due to serious head injuries if in a crash while not wearing a helmet going to tesco's. You'd be better with a simple bolt in rear cage that can be removed as simple...
