Re: clio cup race car project!
right didnt do too much today but got a little update. id remembered id got a pair of rebuild kits for the front calipers. so i set about taking them apart
and oafter a bit of wire wheeling they looked like this
i had some paint left over so gave them a quick coat
so i set about rebuilding them
i wire wheeled the sliders put new grease and boots on
cleaned up the pistons and put new grease on and slid them back into the caliper
and the finished article
i also got some brake lines made up by Matt and Think Automotive 02085681172
he did an awesome job, really good quality.
thats all for now more next week

Re: clio cup race car project!
I always prefer as much solid line as possible due to improved feel over lots of braided. Braided is much tougher than rubber brake hose but still has some give and over a long enough run its sufficent to feel.
The original Noble M12's were braided throughout the entire brake system and we got very good results in terms of brake feel by changing the vast majority of it for old school copper.

Re: clio cup race car project!
didnt do much today as was working but realised i had a power steering leak.
found out that there is a big crack at the top where the pipes connect so that means a i need a new steering rack hopefully supplied by the team i do some work for.

Re: clio cup race car project!
This is something I've bveen wondering about. When I put the car on a 4 poster, the rear springs drop out. When I'm cornering hard and the back wheel lifts, is the spring going to come out??

Re: clio cup race car project!
"shouldn't" happen due to the axle design. Being that the rear isn't independent, you get both sides doing the same thing, so one side is pushed into the arch, the other will follow. you have to allow for a certain amount of flex obviously.

Re: clio cup race car project!
yea got to agree with you and danny, the whole rear beam will move so the FK's springs wont fall out. i believe H&R's are he same too
and to the other person who asked, they are (at least mine are) bubble type at the rear, not straights
back on topic lol
