Well s**t I'm off to Goodwood FOS on the 11th. Who the f**k picked that date? I've not missed a CSF since my first one in 2016!

A smaller rolling radius will increase acceleration, use a comparison site to see the difference. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ For wheel and caliper clearance you're probably going to have to test fit and see.

I potted an S reg 200sx on the A1 today. It's been ages since I saw one of those, my mate had one when we were doing our apprenticeship in the early nineties 😳. Also saw a Meg 250 but nobody cares about Renaults 😂.

Needs a red arrow pointing at it for that price.

That was when I was young, car was a 93 and I bought it in 97. I had Walkers tune it so it had 238bhp at the wheels. Doing a tank of 4* a week Just to work and back (8 miles 😂) so I don't want to imagine how expensive one is to run these days. @MrBlonde is toying with selling his 182.

Welcome aboard and good luck finding a nice clio. I had an Evo 1 many years ago, cracking cars and definitely on my lotto win list.

I have new engine mounts safely stashed away somewhere. That might be a job for the local garage though.

They were steel and zinc plated so should have lasted. Remember those other ali ones that crumbled to dust? 😱

I actually saw a pair of mine for sale recently and they've held up very well considering I made them in 2019 😯. Just realised they are the aluminium ones too!

That's sexy. Silver wheels for the win, personally I don't think it needs the bigger discs.

Yep they do look cool. What wheels are you running @Rob7655 ? Disc size won't make much difference with standard 182 wheels. Unfortunately I don't have a decent pic of mine with the Turini's on.

No. The pms brackets don't remove any material off the face as the bracket fits into the counterbore machined into the caliper. It's all to do with thread depth on the bracket, some noobs on Facebook made some that sit on the caliper face and the bolt screws into the bracket but you only had 5mm...

You'd need to space them out 10mm and the bores are only 11 deep so you could only do it with a big washer and then location is by the bolt and it's still sat on what's left ot the caliper mounting face. Best thing to do is stick with 280 discs or sell the calipers and brackets and buy new for...

So your calipers would have been machined like this to fit the brackets. Every other 280 kit the caliper mounting face is just machined down by 5mm but now you've not got much flat face to bolt the 300 brackets to. This is the face -5mm. And the bracket on. And these are brackets for 300mm...

Is it this kit? https://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/brembo-280mm-brake-bracket-kit.html

Did pms machine the calipers for you? Iirc they machine a counterbore in the caliper, how much flat mounting face is left after that? Pms we're the only ones making the 280 brackets like that so any 300 bracket you find won't sit in the counterbores and you may have minimal face to face seating.

I am. But my creaking happens when I steer and the struts don't rotate so it can't be the top mounts. God I hate cars 😡.

Also brand spanking new with the BC coilovers. I'm going to have to investigate though because it's getting on my nerves now 😖.

I've got something you can swivel on.

Same garage that did the other side when I got the car.

Better not be the brand new one that's just been fitted. ☹️

Someone suggested the creak could be the steering rack bush needing some grease. With the suspension on its several swear words more difficult to remove the rack boot to get at the bush. I got it done eventually and all seemed well, for a day or two and then the creak returned. So the clio was...

Oh I dunno about that. It's got a side exit exhaust and look how much down force that wing makes when it's stood still! It's got to have a V8 in the middle and be an absolute track weapon.

Which one do you have?

I spotted one a couple of weeks back and was equally surprised at how s**t it looked. Not much different to most other big suv's theses days really.

If you take the spacers off you'll have no issues at all, except for needing shorter wheel bolts maybe. And then preferring the car on the trophy Turini's and never going back 😂👍.

Trio of M2's.

I'm going to have to have an Alpine some day. Glad to hear you're still smitten with LBR too Andy, fetch it to csf and do some laps in it next year 👍.

That reads like a nice track build. Get it on track once before you sell it mate!

If you want it fixing RS Tuning in Leeds should be able to sort it.
