Been collecting some upgrades for WZD over the winter. One of which was an improved brake package in the form of the following:
PMS 285mm Brembo 4 pot caliper package.
PMS 285mm x 28mm 2 piece rotors
New rear brake calipers with red powder coated carriers.
EBC Racing RP1 front pads (Interested...
Set it and drive it. Go on how it drives over anything else mate. Mine isnt slammed but i still run the RCK kit and it does make a notable improvement to front end turn in.
Not sure what my exact heights are without measuring but my front control arms are parallel with the ground and the rear is slightly higher.
i use mine both on road and track and this allows a decent bit of wheel travel still. Ideally it wants corner weighting but I haven’t pulled my finger out...
Be patient fella. Alex has a fantastic rep and rightly so, but because of that he is absolutely balls deep in work. If he were to respond to everyone who contacts him right away, you wouldn’t see that engine till next Christmas.
I’ve got a relatively small job I want doing and even that he told...
Not much going on with WZD over the winter. Wife gave birth to our little boy in January so had plenty to be occupied with.
Clio got hit (parked at petrol pump & revered into) the day before Christmas Eve which means the front bumper has a healthy scuff in it that I need to sort too.
Yesterday I...
How are the brakes now with the 197 MC? Do you feel this is 100% required when swapping to Brembos up front?
Im about to do the same on a street/track car.
RCK (Roll Centre Kit)
I use the NorthloopCup (Bridgecraft Motorsport) hubs on my car which widens the front track by 5mm per side anyway. If you want good handling, id ditch the 16mm spacers for a start, my car drove awful on them.
Depends. I'm running RCK hubs which bring the front s out 5mm, so a further 5mm spacer makes 10mm overall and 20mm increase in front track. So yes its can be worth it. All depends on what you're looking to achieve.
I don’t know for sure mate. I only have Cup hubs so can only go from what I’ve measured on my own car.
A lot of this is outlined on the PMS website too.
A Speedline 2118 for example had only a 2mm rear chamfer so can be run with a 10mm slip on spacer without issue.
The OEM cup hub nose protrudes 14mm so you physically can’t fit anything less than that in a hubcentric fitment. This is why most you see start at 16mm to allow some clearance.
You won’t be able to run 10mm slip on spacers with the Turinis. 10mm on the hubs leaves only 4mm of the hub nose protruding for the centre of the wheel to locate on.
The Turinis have a 6mm chamfer on the rear which leaves you 2mm short. For this reason you should only run a maximum of a 5mm...
Its a captive stud and nut as per OEM. The stud sheared off like yours has. Drill what’s left of the stud out and fit a riv nut, and then add an M6 bolt mate.
Not necessarily. Some people might only ever aspire to own a V6 Clio, so not just collectors they would appeal to. Only recently have they seen a sharp rise is values, it wasn’t that long ago that you couldn’t give one away. Lol
Similarly an Escort Cossie, looks cool but absolutely bloody awful...
