Brembo HC with RC6 pads followed by pf97

I trail brake aggressively but am normally back on the power before the apex. Not sure how my dad drives, brakes rarely smoke. Always right foot braking so no double pedal dragging. I brake to put myself through the windshield generally...

Tony, do you run deflector plates or just fog light surrounds and wheel arches out?

Probably but I've had a think about it *engineering hat on* and I'll go for ducting, it has got to be a heat management issue and even with four pots the disc will probably still cook

Probably fairly heavy on the brakes! It's only going to get worse as the slicks start working in the summer so I might just get the ducts made up

Hmm pistons didn't feel stiff by any means when pushing them back

It's a dedicated track car so not too worried about MOT passing. The discs are brembo HC. It had run pf97 pads for a couple of days and before that a full set of rc6 pads that we managed to run to the backing plate (see picture). Didn't show any cracks though, just some scoring we took out...

Changed the front discs today and notice some significant heat cracks. I realise it's normal to get these in the cyclic loading of the discs, thermally and mechanically. Is this a normal level of cracking or do I need to work on some extra cooling? Currently just fog light surrounds and...

How did the R1R compare the the NS2R? Have you done much track driving? Thinking about wet conditions here

What other tyres have you tried on a similar/same set up? How do they compare?

Might give them a whirl, at the moment we use slicks and R1Rs on track but it's easy to keep changing when it's a drizzly day. I also use R1Rs on my road clio. If the softest Nankang compound is a bit sportier might switch to those for wet track use. I suppose the sensible thing would be to...

I find slicks to be fairly progressive when hot. Worse than road tyres but not as bad as people make out. When cold on the other hand....

Rolling a car is fairly difficult

Might look into these for use as wets, anyone compare them to R1r tyres?

Was sitting outside reception for quite a while today

Bedford Autodrome, Cliosport day kindly organised by scholar and gentleman; Chip

We reckon the car is capable of low 2:40s when given the conditions, it's been round there in just over a 2:47 before. Those laps are about 3 mins

We run full slicks, bloody love them. Can be hard to heat up when cold and a bit damp, but once you get heat into them they are demonic. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=70NfKHLtHNc

Good stuff, nice looking car!

At around 7:20 between Shefford and Lectchworth

Reckon it was a 172 cup, looked mondial blue but it was getting dark. You revved it a bit going north on the harborough rd. I was in a grey 182 with orange 2118s

Rattles are driving me nuts

5 or 6 point is much much better. Standard seats?

It's a clio ffs... It's never going to race LMP1...

If it's wallowing it's probably transitioning too fast which means it probably needs more damping. Flat does not equal planted!

Why do you want it to stop rolling? Generally roll rates are adjusted with ARBs, springs are chosen to achieve a ride frequency as far as my basic vehicle dynamics knowledge goes... Really? What makes you say that, a respectable amount of wheel travel is what is designed to keep your wheels...

I'm enjoying AST Sportline 2s on the ph1 at the moment. Remember you can always get dampers revalved to stiffen the damping if needs be

Looks nifty, bigger components than I'm used to dealing with

Ok I won't lie as it is very cool, the finger followers look nice, is that DLC coating on them? Lot of money to spend on a Clio!

Cracking read, did I spy a formula student t-shirt in one of the pictures?
