RC8's were in the my Track Trophy. I found these to have the same stopping power as 6's (slighty more aggressive) they just didn't crumble and i got approx 8 track days out of them. on cold / wet days days i had to use the DS 1.11's which had the same stopping force but didn't have the...

DS 1.11 will give you a very progressive feel. Opposite end of the scale from your DS 2500. Lasted forever on the Trophy with Brembo max discs and no fade. CL wear quite quick, I switched to CL8s which lasted very well, but agin better with standard high carbon discs. CL give massive initial...

CL pads do not like grooved discs..... run the the standard high carbons, you will get better results.

Was your mate gav edger?

Before and after.....

You can have his one..... it spends as much time as mine doing nothing so he doesn't need it :grinning: @Arran_

thats the plan Cally.... I've only done 17 miles since I bought her 🙈

Yeah I like them.... looked at prorace 1.2s because they were cheap, but just didn't look right Mark. Plus the deal I got in these was unbelievable so it was a no brainier.... I think the black works well. Like you I'm a gloss man, but unfortunately they only make them in matt... once i give...

More goodies arrived today, and even thought the car is sitting doing nothing they had to be fitted.... So now matt black ones are fitted the carbon dipped ones are gett g some rainsports fitted at the weekend.... I'll be interested too see how the r888r's perform over the r888's on the...

Hi mate, I don't think there was I'm afraid. Picture below of it in jamsport, but that doesn't show much more. I'm led to believe when it was done it was more of a bespoke build, but certainly more common now. I do believe there was a magazine feature of it a couple of years back, if I find...

Standard mate. Getting in and out not an issue at all, low sides which makes it very useable

Standard mate

I used RUST-OLEUM stove and bbq paint Mark. Resists heat upto 650 degrees C. It was spray mate, I took the callipers off the car and sprayed them.

What night are you up next week?

It has Mark, Missed the tack days, turned up and went out with a mate at one and thought that a 315bhp clio can't not be used in anger 🙈 I do have all he original bits, so if it needs to it can go back to full road...., the Trophy kinda went a little past that :grimacing:

I know mate..., something about a clio means you can't pass up a bargain....! Your right though with the lotus and the x5..... get round and sell it to mr Methven, he'll be needing a parts car and you've got the colour match and everything 🙈:smile:

You are not going to use that on the road, who are you trying to kid!

The ASTs transformed the Trophy even with the standard springs. Car ran much flatter. Stiffer springs again improved things so I don't think you'll be disappointed :up:

Hi Jamie, Nah struggling with work mate so wont make it up.... are you out?

No proper S1600 mate.... :up:

Yeah I'm sure the one you are talking about is a single centre exit exhaust too

If you want gold callipers that's what you should use, if you want the front to stay silver get some high temp paint mate :up:. Have a look at my trophy 381 thread, one outing from pretty silver to gold due to heat 🙈

Yeah I had that same problem with my 182!! A £1000 will vanish before you know it 🙈 Nice looking little project and even with all the Renaults temperamental problems your love it.... hope you enjoy it mate :up:

Had a slight re think in the Lap timer location....! Whilst I didn't mind it on the mirror, the mirror itself was the issue! Just couldn't get to grips with how it distorts the distances. Anyway, a quick flip over on the stereo blanking plate and the lap timer fits perfectly... I'll work on...

Extinguisher install now complete and kinda discreet..... MSA would like the activation box on display, but as noted it's a 5 minute alteration and I like it hidden, knowing that it's operational. Securely fixed inside the glove box regardless :up: Have organised a set of rainsports to go...

That's my theory.... struggled with it last weekend, well that, the rain, the new car, and the check ignition warning 🙈 Hoping next outing will be a better one :up:

Oh and the new seats are in! I'm possibly going to heighten them slightly.... set them at the same height as the corbeau ones, but feel this is just too low. Whilst I understand the lower centre of gravity requirement, seeing over the steering wheel I would say is just as important. I'm...

A little more of an update following today's progress.... Made a start on installing the lifeline fire extinguisher system, well pretty much installed, until I get the stereo blanking plate delivered! Had to sacrifice the stereo, as suitable dash space on a 200 is hard to find and everything...

The green one usually runs a pit king button in the centre to stiffen it up. It also has the slam panel removed for the itbs which isn't helping....., can't remember why he removed the centre support again

Off on holiday this week and absolutely choked with the cold, but cheered up a litttle when the deliveries started arriving..... Club sports are out and away to their new owner, whilst I did like the look, they just were not what I'm used toforbtrck driving...... These will give mixed views...
