Brake Cooling

Don't know why I bothered getting mine as im waay to lazy to relocate or remove the acoustic valve and carbon cannister so my air comes in through where the fogs used to be with the inserts and exit via the holes I made in the wheel arches also with the inserts. I could be wrong but I swear the car feels more unstable at speeds over 100mph now

Just ring the local ecp, give them your reg and ask for the pagid pads mate
That's exactly what I was trying to avoid.....
Not an ECP fan, less contact the better!

No worries. I like them and for £15 they are good value imo
Aye, I used to swear by Mintex, but they only seem to work well for about 3 months now. Jurid aren't bad, will try these since they come recommended!
Just did a trackday at Rockingham last Friday with my latest 172. My brake set up is standard discs and lines, RC6 pads front and EBC yellow rear, with Motul RBF600 fluid.
I started the day with no arch liners and fog lights removed, as well as carbon canister removed and horns re positioned. It was a hot day to start with, with temps between 25 and 30C throughout, but the brakes were faultless and didn't many a 15-20 minute stint without fade.
We were doing the Intrrnational circuit which is about 2.2 miles, and has 4 big braking areas per lap, the fastest one being 105-110 down to about 30.
For later sessions I removed the fog light covers completely, just to add extra venting although it didn't seem necessary.
@M.C.. Was also at the track day and he was running the CL RC6 pads, which seemed faultless for him also.

Fairly easy job to connect some donkey dick up to the fog surround and direct it at the brakes if you decided to.
Few pics of My brake cooling setup when I was fitting it (on a mk1 )
Ideally you want to force air up through the centre of the disc to cool it evenly the only problem with this is as I've found is a lot of clio discs are vented from the front instead of the rear and it really doesn't work as well

Instead of like this
When I get chance in going to make some better ducts that fit to the hub something like this
Good set up, however you can cool the brakes down too much and move them out of their operating temperature, so by the time you reach the next turn your brakes would have cooled down too much.

Here are my efforts - nothing special but i hope effective.
Hi mate just a quick one, whereabouts did you get these and what size are they? Same with the ducting. Cheers.

All custom made by myself @c.oneill91
With regards to the intakes , I picked them up at TRAX a few years back

Fittes, squeal free and seem to work well in the road. They fade out fairly quickly but that's to be expected. Happy camper!

I don't really find they fade too bad really. But as a road pad they are ace.

Managed to get these fitted today , seems to fit quite tidy , when car on the floor , no fowling on full lock and it clears the braided brake line . [emoji2] sweet.
O/S one doubles as a guard for the crank pulley as such

So I'm doing the last stages of the scoops today , as you can see in the pic one on my brackets which is pop riveted to the fog housing and this only poses a minor issue.
I had to cut the pipe to pass along side of the riveted part .
Once in place I secured with a hose clip and it's nice and tight .

All secured and I narrowed the pipe to rest closer to the plate

I did re position the horns but just a fraction , as for my carbon canister it's no longer there.

Purpose of the carbon canister is to store tank fumes and then bleeds them into the engine at certain times when requested.
With it gone makes this process redundant so fumes won't be drawn in to upset the mixture . A cleaner running engine so to speak.

I had two horns too but I removed the bracket, removed one horn from the bracket and then mounted that horn directly to the chassis where the original bracket mounted. Doesn't sound as good with only one tone but i'm not that bothered.
