    Yeah I'll have a gander of me shift pattern, the evening ones are ideal if I'm working day before as gives me time to check car in morning

    I did look at Oulton, I'm hoping they'll do Bedford again. That was great last year

    I think I'll be sticking to evenings to be honest, couple hours out on track is more than enough for me, lol! Good luck with the wedding buddy

    Yeah it's sound now mate, running stage 2 so 287bhp now.

    Coilovers have brought it on leaps and bounds, did a sprint day Saturday and the transition between corners is great

    jwilliams

    Blimey that's some pretty good figures! Yeah i bet, i can't wait to gt sone coilovers I'm having to stick with H&R springs for now (being fitted next week)

    not normal dan

    Tbh I only went for coilovers for the fact it came with the top mounts so it's another point of adjustment

    jwilliams

    Not too bad then. @notnormaldan will see what it's like with the springs, alot of people on here say it's pretty much the same lol

    not normal dan

    Springs are perfect compromise tbh, the coils are a little stiff but I don't do massive road mileage as I have a 1 series diesel too
     
  26. Mar 16, 2015 #25
    jwilliams

    jwilliams

    Suppose if I stick with springs I can focus more on the upgrading the brakes. Which to be honest I'll more than likely have to do before Donington anyway haha

    not normal dan

    Yeah I run ds1.11 pads epic tbh, and brembo high carbon seem popular discs

    jwilliams

    I was thinking of going for the genuine discs and some CL RC6 pads for the 250? Lines, fluid etc. Not sure if they do HC discs?
     
  29. Mar 17, 2015 #28
    not normal dan

    not normal dan

    You can get HC discs for the 225/r26 so it's worth contacting g172

    jwilliams

    I've got a 250 mate

    Yeah I know lol, I'd be very suprised if the discs are different. Don't quote me lol

    and they only place you can get them through is Renault. Unless you opt for a 2 piece setup from PFC or the likes

    jwilliams

    Cheers mate
    What brake setup would you recommend? I was thinking just replacing the discs with genuine ones put replace the pads with some RC6, brake lines and some CL DOT.4 fluid. Can't really be dealing with the squeal, had the on my 182 and was a mare

    Unless your doing a lot of track work the RC6 is overkill. OEM discs and some RC5+'s are more than upto the job of fast road and the occasional trackday. I wouldn't personally recommend DS2500's as IME they are shite but people seem to rate them on here, Or the DS UNO/1.11's that the MK2 boys rave about.

    Mike has fitted RC5+'s on the front and Yellowstuff on the rear on my recommendations and rates them very well.

    Cheers for that Jamie, RC5+ it is then.

    Cheers Dan, ordered them

    No worries mate, there on offer for the mk2 too so I'm half tempted to buy a set and try them out compared to the ds1.11.

    I did wonder why the only discs I found last night were OE or 2 piece bits that's why I suggested speaking to George (G172)
