'Hi, I'd like to waste some money today, anything you could suggest?' 'Certainly sir, 4 pot brakes are quite a good way to spend a lot of money for little on road gain...' 'Perfect, I'll take 2 sets, costs more that way'

4 Pots are not really a lot better than upgraded standards dude in braking force (from what I've read from people in the know) but they will be pretty much fade free all the time. On my 182 I fitted braided lines, race fluid, Brembo MAX discs and redstuff pads, the braking was stupid, I got a...

Plain Brembos - 50ish I think New pads - 40ish I think for std. Thats under 100, saving you 500....

Stop spending money when you don;t need to dude! Nothing wrong with the standard set-up!

is this www.squirrelsport.net ?!

www.dayinsure.co.uk

Discs will 99% need replacing after that. Will probably be badly scored.

^ I mean in the vid he changes to 2nd, then hits vtec and the noisechanges noticeably.

Re: how do people lower their cars 50-60mm when my driveshafts are rubbing with just Doubt its a driveshaft, I went this low and only rubbing was tyres slightly...

Awesome! I havent had chance to read the ad, but do all CSL's have carbon door cards?! I really really want one.

I'd drop Gally a pm, he's in insurance stuff and seems to know his cheese.

Can hear it kick in in 2nd gear I think. Is yours standard? Mine growls like fook on vtec, only mod is removing the airbox.

I'm actually liking that dude, good work.

Feel gutted for you. I had bought a 182, sent a deposit etc, all good to go. Was due to drop off my old Lupo in the morning, then go pick up the 182. Got a phonecall about 8.30pm the night before being told he had changed his mind and couldnt sell me the car. Still got rid of the Lupo and...

Call round next week Ste, I'm a dab hand with the grinder so I'll just lop a couple of coils off for you. Job done.

Theres one that SteBurns has on his 197, looks perfect. Think it's from a lower modelled mk3, drop him a pm to ask? Edit, might be the car you saw, he has a red 197 with black wheels?

Massive lol. Just looked on clio197.net to see if there was a guide to changing the pads, and theres one to check how much pad material is left, with pictures showing that you should be looking at the pads. How else would you check?!

Sweet, was hoping for that answer :D

Thanks Fred. What is the fix for seized pins if needed? WD40 and some elbow grease? Likely to be seized on a 2 year old Clio? Struggling to imagine how they look!

Are there any differences between changing brake pads on a 182 and an R27?! I'm guessing it's completely the same principle?! Without seeing any up close I'm not 100%!

Should have bought a normal 172, the keys are much better looking that the cup ones....

Mine wasn't stupidly low, but it was low. There was still a LOT of lower adjustment on the AST's. Never had it corner weighted, wouldnt have made any difference for my style of driving, as on track I would have had a passenger/instructor anyways most of the time. It was set up to -ve2 on the...

On my local roads there is far too much bumpsteer etc for coilovers. Mine were pro set-up by a BTCC and BritCar Race mechanic, the H&R's and AST's. They just don;t seem to work for road use, the car is way too stiff and snappy. I was convinced they were better after I had spent stupid money on...

H&R's don't work well in my opinion. Front is way too soft, rear is way too hard. Had 2 different sets on my 182 and the sportlines + std dampers were a much much better option. I wouldnt waste my time or money considering coilovers again unless I wanted low, and only low.

Flamer has silver seatbelts in the rear? ph1's came with black belts, something doesnt add up?

Never driven prolines, but Eibach springs are the best i've had. So fresh dampers and sport/prolines will give you the best for the conditions you want. Cheap coilovers dont work, expensive coilovers dont work very well (for UK road conditions). If you're really wanting to freshen it up get...

Very nice! Might be my next car now, need something a bit more understated!

My mate got new ones on his R27 because of rust dude.

Basically yeah. I like my DC2 because it's like the 182, feels like you are going fast. In real terms probably no faster than a 197/200. A proper hot hatch should be good at everything. And for the record, I love my mates R27, the 200 doesn;t seem to have any improvements over that.

^ 90% of the time the car wouldnt be driven on the lmit. Day to day I couldnt live with it for my stated reasons. Wanted to like it, gave it a shot and didnt. I wouldnt get offended if you couldnt handle a DC2 ;)
