Cool, welcome to the site!

My belts due this year - time to get the wallet out

 

[glenn]

yes they said it was due the timing belt only so i asked them to do the aux belt aswell to save me getting it done next year lets hope the suspension is ok as ive never seen the car yet

Yeah these new guys are a bit keen to pick up scalps, I think that's one notch on the bedpost each at the moment. ;-)

Well I thought the 3rd star was deserved as he technically owns it! just doesn't yet have the ability to drive it.

When do you pick the car up?

 

[glenn]

should be next monday as long as the belts get done this week i have a lad picking my car up on wednesday so i will be in a works van for a bit and thanks for the welcome

 

[Renaultsport]

I've gone for Brembo HC discs (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2786) with DS2500 pads (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2346). It is a popular combo on the T's. Most change the brake hoses to braided ones too!

Getting mine all replaced on Weds (they are all very low) with same setup, DS2500 pads, HC discs, braided lines and some Castrol Response fluid - my brakes are VERY poor!

With that setup you'll be going from no braking to stopping the T on it's nose!

 

[glenn]

so this set up can handle the odd track day or would it be worth going for a full brembo set up including callipers

Be fine for track use I would say, I think from memory some people on here use this setup for the track.
