[SammyT]

looks spot on

 

[pinto performance]

it is mate
still geting to know the brakes lol

 

[Jamie]

What made you go for these? Do you do alot of track work?

 

[Tunst]

nice how much they set you back?

 

[Martyn_182]

nice. want a set for myself. where did you get them from?

 

[pinto performance]

Jamie: no i don't go track just have a bit more power and i need to stop it some how.
Tunst: around 1 grand.
Martyn: i made it my self

 

[Jamie]

I got some 4pots on a previous Clio... Unless you're doing track action I can't really justify it and look back on it as a mistake. My Trophy has braided lines, brembo discs and I think DS2000 pads (not totally sure) and it's always been more than adequate. Not sure I'd be pushing a car that hard on the road that the small difference between stopping would be noticed in that set up. Looks nice all the same.

[Budgie]

Why haven't I seen your car around?!

Any pics of the rest of the car?

 

[Addz]

Bet they bring such a small car to a stop pretty fast! look nice too

 

[DannoTheGreat]

Looks good. What did you use to paint them?

 

[nathanH]

Sweet, did you have a mounting bracket made? Standard 182 disc?

 

[pinto performance]

Budgie: picts of full car to come
Addz: they do mate but to stop the power that i have under the bonnet .
Danno: normal paint but with heat lacker
Nathanh: i have made the bracket my self and no isn't standard 182 discs

 

[JR]

What power do you have ?

 

[mark_182_54]

why havent u told people the price

 

[B16DOE]

do look good behind the wheels

 

[pritchard182]

nice brakes m8

 

[kev182cup]

why havent u told people the price

He has he said about a grand.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Mark fish already does a conversion kit for brembo 4pots. Steve used to run them on his Rb track car. Similar price I think. Shame they don't make a kit for the 182 really. Ap are very expensive and I've heard mixed reviews on the compbrakes.

They the calipers off a 197?

 

[Focie]

They look good, but thats alot to spend on brakes!

 

[Paul_LY-182]

very nice mate good choice. ive got a simliar set up, my brembos are red though!

 

[Leeshez]

Brilliant .

 

[jack_davey]

been thinking of doing this for a while, did you make the brackets yourself?

Good work btw!

 

[172Ben]

Have a read of the thread.

[Gary-Lew]

looks superb mate you must be running some power to justify them on road driving, what you got done to the engine?

 

[pinto performance]

no they not the calippers from the 197...
yes i have made the bracket my self
i'm a renault especialist and reg mechanic over 20 years on renaults so i know a bit

 

[Ralphizzle]

Monoblocs calipers look the part mate!
Epic stopping power now...

 

[Justin_16vT]

Nice! you put the brembo sticker upside down though

 

[Jamesstone]

I've seen this car around by the P.mile, Budgie knows what i mean your down in the yard by wraysbury tyres right?

 

[Steviant]

no they not the calippers from the 197...
yes i have made the bracket my self

If the calipers are not 197/meganeRS what are they? They are stamped with renault, as in your first pic. I'm not aware of any other renault model with Brembo calipers?

 

[Sym0n]

Have you not upgraded to braided lines or have you just not shown that in the pictures?

Personally I think it's a pointless upgrade for a road car, but looks good all the same.

 

[Ralphizzle]

Why is it pointless?

You have to stop no matter what.

Doing it in style with a bit more bite for sure.
197 has 'em... Meggy has 'em... Twingo do NOT!

Monoblocs is the way Fwd.
Smarten's up the wheels... now all he needs is bellmounted rotors.

No longer rusty calipers and rotor facings.

ps. Power is nothing without control. :rasp:

 

[nathanH]

Lol @ all the 'Overkill on a 1*2' comments, Suppose the 197/200 doesnt really need them then!? Renault should have wacked on some 1*2 Brakes with HC's and DS2500 instead.

[BRT Motorsport]

do you have a pic of the brackets and what disc did you use

 

[MikeLYR27]

Looks awesoem mate. They are not pointless, i think there amazing brakes. They are the same caliper as the 197/meg tho.

 

[Gt rob]

There's money to be made fellas if you can do the job with 4 pot brembos, I'd like some, if not for the stopping power then for cosmetic reasons

 

[JD]

I really like the colour. It may be over kill on a road car, but so is having a cage/strut brace etc etc... so why not!

I would like to know what sort of power you have?
