Carbotech will make you pads with your old backing plates too.

It's a lottery, mine never did 😅

Unplug the post cat sensor 😅

May as well change fluid for Castrol SRF while you're there 👀

He is yeah, but normally booked up 1-2 months in advance

See if you can call in at a garage and get them to test it to see what's going on.

Only other thing i can think of is it's over fuelling. Hard to tell without having it checked with an emissions test, you'd have high CO readings and possibly high HC reading for unburnt fuel.

If those voltages are correct, the cat is probably no good. Should be a steady voltage in the 400-500mV range for post cat.

Don't think you can get them for rears. Pretty common to run a less aggressive pad in the rear on fwd cars. Edit: just looked, you can get DS1.11 for the rears on a Megane.

DS2500 will be ok in the rear with DS1.11 in the front. I run PBS rear and SR11 front. I ran W5 in the Clio and would probably go W6 if had them again.

Try the SR11 next mate, basically the endurance version of RP1.

Yeah mate, him and Tom in the E46.

Yeah that's the same size mate uses.

Can only think it's the tiny pads they use. Both guys I know who were at CSF in Porsche and BMW both use RPX and get on really well with them.

Funny you should mention Wilwoods. RP1 on my mates Clio with those calipers wear down half in one track day but in my Mégane with much bigger pad they wore 1mm.

You'll see a noticeable difference with a proper track pad in the rear. PBS doing all the work and probably getting too hot. Are EBC SR11 available for your front calipers? I used them at CSF and they were really good, could easily lock up on road tyres and they haven't worn at all. To be...

Front and rear? Need uprated rear pads too.

They do pop out, same as the Megane otherwise they tend to go missing. What pads are you on?

Yeah they don't list them on the website, but I've seen them custom making for historic F1 cars on Facebook/Instagram and asked the question and they said £95.

That being said, you can still get it cheap and if you know someone with a laser cutter or water jet...

When i made my Clio ones in 2017 it was £30 for an A4 size sheet of 0.8mm grade 5 Ti.

As i mentioned further up, CL Brakes will make you some for £95. 01676 248206 racebrakesuk@outlook.com

I made my own for the Clio. Carbone Lorraine / CL Brakes will make you some for £95 Inc delivery.

Used them on my 182 and it stopped the seals from melting. I'll look to get some for the Megane when it next goes on track now that it has brand new calipers on.

Run it on min as said. I ran the high temp Redline stuff in mine.

Did you manage to get them off 😂 Usually dig the middle of them out with a small flathead screwdriver.

Pictures at Mallory are sick!

Seems like a bit of a f**k about. Have you checked the blade for any burrs that could be lightly filed or sanded which are preventing a smooth in and out.

I'm going to get some of the TW stuff. From what i've seen it falls between a spray and rinse sealant and a proper ceramic coating. For £20 it should be good value.

Seen some good reviews on the new Turtle Wax Pure Bead. I've always thought of TW as a cheap entry level brand, but they looked to have stepped it up with this.
