They're 10mm on a grande though... People need to read before giving advice

Cheers Luke. I'll take you out for a proper spin next time I see you mate, ant doing your car soon?? Get some pics up mate! Need details.

Chris: Badly in the wet, with Ant driving it (faster than me) he was on par, but I was being overtaken left right and centre. Kev: It's back to looking pretty again now, wheels off and full clean yesterday. It's nice to have a car that can be both ends of the scale, power wagon, then swap...

What engine is this clio? Pos in the technical section for much better results that you'll get here.

You were correct. Checked today, they are vented, but I'm pretty sure they're only 286's not 300mm discs. It was great fun thanks yeah and Dan did a great job with the pics.

Why not just wang it on some cheap wheels for now? I'm not feeling those.

If you were closer I could sort you out with two very cheap keys. Not in London anytime soon are you?

Get a member on here to go to costco with you? That's what I did (thanks Tom)

After a bit of searching, I have found some things to check with the brakes... First off, being an early model, the like for like replacement could be a 286mm SOLID disc... now apparently this can be replaced with 300mm VENTED discs. If I am infact running solid discs on the front, this will...

BTW I wasn't knocking it, I like it, just needs to start being worked on. One way or the other will get it looking good (tidier body or badman lowz etc), just not as it is ;)

You finally took some half decent photos, looks really good mate.

Sorry mate, I didn't think you'd asked anything :o Fuel, average on the way down there and back was just about 38mpg, average around the track, for the whole day, was 9.1mpg The roof, inside it's quiet as a mouse, fair quieter in fact than the Clio (not as quiet as the 320, obiously). With...

Yeah me and Ant were talking about it. There's space for one in my garage too. We did the Burpspeed Llandow trackday mate, did you not see the thread? Much cheapness for lots of driving! We had pirelli pzero's on the back and some goodyear tyres on the front. We were running 255's on the...

I really hope not! As ant says, one day we used over 50% of the pad, and they were fading within four laps! Nice to meet you too mate, shame I didn't get a passenger ride out in the MX, would have liked to see how it went. RWD was definitely fun, I can't wait to start finding my feet with it...

LOL! Thanks for the info. We probably cooked the fluid with the amount of abuse the pedal had to take... :o so I'll look at replacing it anyway. Any idea what the pads were? Horrific doesn't even come close!

It was awesome fun mate, really really enjoyed myself. Wasn't setting any land speed records, but I had great fun. The brakes are beyond normal bad, they're utterly awful. The wheels themselves are pretty cool TBH, with the right tyres all the way around and painted just in the graphite grey...

An arch gap Kev would be proud of. Looks like it really needs that tidying up though.

Sorry... ;) Thanks to Dan for the awesome photos. The verdict - Car: Awesome. Brakes: Utterly shocking. FOUR laps and they were dying off in a big way. Rear braided lines to bit fitted ASAP along with some new pads and some new fluid.

That looks mint Naith, really impressive. It's got a proper presence to it this car, glad you've persevered and not just given up.

Why so worried??? It'll b'reet! Hello mate, when the hell did you pick up the RS? Awesome.

I knew I should have gone that way into work! Should have taken a sneaky snap!

Charlie's stuff is pretty bang on too, as long as he's not too smashed ;)

I got the mrs a Nikon coolpix one, seems really good and wasn't too pricey!

iPhone. 100%. Import your music from WMP into iTunes and you'll be happy as it gets. If you get an iPhone 4, as opposed to a 4s, then you'll get it cheap enough. FYI an iPhone will work just fine on a windows setup and there's no need to go filling your house with apple stuff, although I...

My asda is at 129/28. Result.

I've found that the asda just around the corner from my work (isle of dogs) is 6p cheaper than my local three. Awesome.

Neither would I mate! We (reads Ant) went a bit mental with the paint, it's florescent and there's s**t tones of it on there. They look good enough though and are very fit for purpose, drive down to the track day with them on, drive back with (possibly two of) them on and then swap back.

I bet it's a grinding, sort of like a slipping noise, or like if you rotated an electric drill with a phillips end on it on a hard surface. Like a rotating grind.

I had this when flooring it, the shaft was knackard. Was the shaft you sourced second hand? I'd say it's knackard and not been noticed as visually they look OK when these are the symptoms, when I removed mine it was fine.

By the time I'd done 200 miles home it'd be ruined! Good to know though Russ, maybe some day when I'm up at Luton for a while (family there) I'll book in or something. Discounted rate for not having a roof? ;)
