I spoke with an instructor at Castle Combe and he said he raced his Corsa on them, and in a Race & Track Car mag article on the CC Saloon Car Championship recently, it seems he's not alone. Anyone run a set on their Clio on the road? Did they last? Or do the racers rave about them 'cause...

Under a light load at low revs you'd barely be able to tell it apart from a standard system, it just has a nice subtle bassy burble. Approaching the limiter under full load/WOT it sounds just like it should have done when it left the factory - all rasps and howls :) Power wise...no...

No pic as it looks, well, it's hidden like the OE system. Got it as part of the group buy on here a couple of months back...paid £265, is stainless, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Here it is...

K-tec Stealth James? Mine's been nothing short of excellent since Rentech Mike screwed it on for me.

Has that been in a shunt? The shut lines look a bit dodgy.

^^^ Yup :D

Here's my two previous runs... No. 1 No. 2 I'll try and get a proper run done this weekend with the rev counter showing as well.

You need about 15% faster wheel rotation than road speed for maximum traction...so a little slip is good...but balancing it is the tricky bit.

Cracking pics as always Chris...liking the effects too :)

I'll do a fresh one for the weekend too then...on the old one you could only see the top half of the speedo.

I did...but putfile have taken it down due to inactivity...I'll bang it back up tonight.

^^^ That's what I do - 3k's enough for me to get it moving without bogging down (but then I am a little lighter), and feathering it instead of flooring it means you're still driving forwards rather than wheelspinning all the power away. Once it hooks up you can than take it to the limiter... I...

Mine went long ago...but I'm at 63k now...and thought that the standard Renault warranty was only for 3yrs/60k miles? Anyone had them replaced within 3 years but at over 60k miles?

It's not that difficult to live without it......you're all spoilt LOL

Avoid Tarox like the plague. ^^^ DS2500's are all good.

Define best... Cheapest? - probably Renault OE Most resistant to fade? - err, DS3000, PF97 or Pagid Blue Least brake dust? - pass Longest life? - DS2500 (current set have lasted me 12K+ 4-5 trackdays) Most spectacular? PF97

Bearing in mind the fact that they retained hydraulic only on the 172/182 range, and the level of (apparent) detailed developments coming on the 197, I'm sure they'd not stuff it up with crap steering. Can electric feel as good as hydraulic? Maybe Renault have cracked it? I can't wait for...

Nice vid, nice skills...embarassing supercar owners...nothing better :D

Thanks mate...got mine due Nov 25th...will probably try a bit earlier just in case. I've done 61K on original pads and discs at the back, and that includes every track day I've ever done and there's rust every day on the discs that just won't go :mad: no matter how hard I brake. I think...

LOL random! Nicve pics...looks like a good time was had...I must get over thete at some point, the Lotus-on-Track club do about 6 dates a year.

I thought it was a V6 1.8 in the 323? I'm sure they used to lay claim to putting the smallest V6 engine into mainstream production? They did do a 2.0 V6 that was in the Xedos 6, and a 2.5 V6 that, as above, was in the MX-6, and also the Xedos 9.

Keep at it Oms...it took me quite a while before I stopped headbutting the windscreen on each attempt, but it's worth the effort.

I've only ever run standard pads at the back Oms and DS2500 up front have been fine. Practicing left foot braking...? Try this - you're exiting a motorway and can see you'll need to stop at the end of the slip road, so, shift into neutral and try bring your car to the smoothest, slowest...

Nice thread, nice pictures, I'm sure you'll be very happy together :) ...and welcome to Cliosport of course :approve:

Great pics :)

Well said that man! I'm 35, and in my time as a yoof, built countless Airfix/Tamiya models of these behemoths... my fave was the 205 T16 - absolutely f***ing mental motor :D

Lovely...I want that car...or mine to be prepared like that at least.

You've heard? Get out there and do it...that's what they're for...and a little spin round to the limiter (which is there to stop things turning ugly), even when new(ish) won't do it any harm whatsoever :evil: I did with 300 miles on the clock, which was about 20 miles after delivery, and...

Ahh...but the Origin b2 doesn't keep up with a cars acceleration...can vary from 1 to 3 seconds lag behind actual speed...so, playing devils advocate...you could be running 0-60 in 9 secs? *** runs ***

Or a track ? :evil: ;) I like the sound of your 120d...I was considering sorting one out as a company car (I'm a sucker for RWD), and looked into chipping them too...but decided to keep running the Cup, and get a sh*tter for day to day when I retire the Cup for track/race use only. That...
