Getting there :) hope you don't have to rush too much to get it done by the 20th, never fun whe. Is under pressure!
Expecting any rubbing issues on the rear with the spacers?
Fair point.
However, before I boiled the fluid, I noticed after a not very long B road blast that the pads would glaze over rather easily. And the pedal would be rock hard without a lot of 'feel' or slowing down going on.
Booking another trackday for Bedford GT in April so may give the pads...
I think I can sum up the 1144's with this:
Good road pad, terrible track pad
As a road pad, they are pretty spot on. Great from cold. Don't cost the earth and can stand up to the odd B road blast
However, I had my first track day a couple of weeks ago at Bedford GT circuit. The pads were...
Third Time Lucky; Trophy #41 - UPDATE - Yozzasport has gone...
I have the same issue mate. Just did the 'powerflex mod' at the weekend to one of the hangers and it sits a lot better
Will try and find the thread...
Found it!

Yer have heard the RC6's can leave a fair bit of 'pad' on the bodywork!
Looking into the RC5+ pads there seems to be a few horror stories of the pad breaking up so not sure if I want to risk that, although they are a bit cheaper than the DS3000's at the moment
They will only be for track use...
Mintex M1144... Good on the road, but don't hold up at all on track!
I had a quick look at the CL's but not gona lie I was very confused by all the RC5/5+/6/6 Endurance range. So gave up quite quickly! Im sure I've read on here something about them falling to bits as well which doesn't sound good?
Fair play! Would love for my company to do that but don't think they'd entertain that idea for 4 of us!
N I'd love to mate but can only do Saturday track days at the mo :( even more expense!
Replaced my boiled brake fluid with some ATE Super R Blue, much better!
And put the fogs and arch liners back in after Bedford last week, not a bad day.
Yer dad drove back and nearly shot into the field as we left the track! Got some ATE Super Blue to bleed up with Sunday
And yer Jay seemed good for the road (ie good from cold but still lasted on a B road blast) but after the first session in the morning they were smoking whilst sitting in the...
Hmmmm might have to look into those...
Ran 1144's at the weekend and pedal was to the floor after a handful of laps!
Must've boiled the fluid as well, pedal still hasn't come back...
Looked to be going really well at Bedford mate
To save me reading through the whole thread, what pads have you changed from? And how did the DS3000's fair at the weekend?
Right, think I've got it
I'm thinking this gauge:

With this sandwhich plate:

Is this all I...
Cheers for the replies guys.
Could I use a sandwich plate to run the temp sensor off? I won't have time to sort out a sensor in the sump. Or will it be influenced too much by the temperature of the block?
Thinking of going for one of these...

Does anyone know what sort of oil pressure is normal for a Clio at idle and whilst on the move?
Yer I was quite surprised how well they recorded apart from the rattle! Not bad for a borrowed GoPro and my first on track experience :o
Wish Id had some battery for my last session at the end of the day, my lines and braking points had improved massively IMO :)
Was a brilliant day, hope you...
Bedford Track Day 16th Feb
Brilliant day! The Clio ran perfectly, just the brakes let it down. And once I worked out tyre pressures, the handling was 'ok' (need new dampers and springs really)
Some pictures from the day:
