I could then only assume that the efficiency of the friction between the pads and discs are higher on the newer brakes.

You would have to take into account road condition would you not as well ?

You can then start to increase grip by the following. 1. Fitting wider tyres 2. Decreasing tyre pressure 3. Adjust weight distribution in the car 4. Adjusting brake bias

Also larger surface area of the pads means more friction can be applied between the disc and pads, grip permitting on the road.

As slugger said bigger brakes, help reduce brake fade due to larger surface area to dissipate heat.

LOL @ slugger

As I say I cant answer this until I get home tonight.. I will post more details then..

I have a video clip of the award section... Twas a fook up to say the least :D

If anyone has a broken Valver/WIlliams gearbox let me know as I said I would do a favour for BB and get hold of one as they are going to get one of their gearbox specialist to do some work on it and maybe help people with the Clio Turbo to run more than 250bhp through the standard box.

Fred has these on his car and So has Kis172 and I must say they are much more classy then the lexus mirrored ones IMHO.

I cant let anyone know of the info until I get a rough idea if this is going to be a good thing to pursue. Boyracer666 ??? Try Dentdevils etc.

Nope this is separate to that..

Must point out, this is only offered to club members... BTW

There is no excess and I will post the full details up later. Ivan

I am in negotiations with a company that can offer us a Malicious Damage insurance for £39 per annum and covers all sorts of malicious damage, you are allowed 3 claims a year and a total of £1500 for these things to be fixed. I will post the full details of what it covers up here later when I...

I had a race with an RS turbo on the way back and I must say Valerire was running rather well and whipped it.. I am going to have to rolling road her as I am sure she is pushing more than 137bhp and she is completely standard apart from lowering ;)

82 x 83.5 mm Valver (Square Engine) 82.7 x 93 mm Williams (Over Square) So the williams has been bored out slightly still wouldnt account for much weight.

But you have bigger pistons in that case..

Silver williams wheels as well.

Yet thats cause the aircon uses about 10-15% of the engine power to run..

If for example you change one side there is a good possibility that the other side is as worn as well. Its better to prevent than to cure IMHO.

That is the dog bone mount that has gone mate.

Hey if I can offer advice I will :D

If it is the pin snapped I wouldnt get a used one as it is a stress point. There are 4 parts to the gearbox mounting. 1. The lower bracket. 2. The upper bracket. 3. The connection pin 4. The rubber mount itself. If the pin has snapped then may have to dill out the old bolt from...

The one on the passenger side not the one on the back of the gearbox ? If so I had a quick look this weekend and this is fairly easy to do.. I snapped mine a few weeks back and havent had time to do this but I am doing it this weekend. About an hours job it that. The Mount is the rubber...

The dog bone mount is an easy DIY thing. Two bolts to undo, replace the part job done. I have done one on mine and it is easy..

You can press them in yourself but I would advise you getting them done at somewhere like BB performance http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/home.asphttp://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/home.asp They did mine and I have had no problems with them. They use a big hydraulic press to put them...

I am doing mine tomorrow funny enough.. The dog bone mount is around £25 The passenger side gearbox mount is £36 inv vat from reno The drivers side is about £60 depending on where you go. Front wheel bearing is about £25 each you need to for front as you just dont change one side...

It might push a little more BHP but the torque drops off around 6750rpm anyway.

Thanks Mel I couldnt have put it better myself.
