Apologies for putting this in your thread, but it sort of fits the theme of none Renault.
Interesting stuff. How are you finding the brakes a bit further down the line?
This is my none Clio

I am surprised how good it is as standard. Likewise, I don't want to modify it for track as it just makes the road part a pain. Like you it only has a brake mod which is Goodridge brake lines and Carbotech pads. I change the brakes from standard after coming from the Clio because that car had the best brakes of any car I have ever owned. (No slop, instant stop! Made that up on the spot!) They are quite good, but can squeal at slow speed, which does not bother me. However I am considering going back to standard because of several things. Firstly the Goodridge hoses don't actually fit that well. It was noted as the car's first service that the rear lines were damaged. Checking this they were rubbing on the wheel during droop and so I had to an as tie wrap, not exactly professional. Then having just changed the front pads, I noticed that the design forces the hose against the caliper and that has now split the sheath right at the union.

Which is certainly less than ideal.
Secondly, they are rather expensive as £300 for the front pads alone, but having just fitted them and bedded them in, they started to vibrate quite noticeably at Snetterton, so I need new discs, which adds to the cost of changing pads considerably. Considering the standard fronts seemed quite effective, just slightly short lived, but a set of front pads and the wear sensor from Hyundai is only £120 + vat then it is three sets of pads for the price of one Carbotech.
And finally, possibly the biggest reason is that when I went to changed the pads I found that the rubber gators on the pistons were totally destroyed, which is concerning me some what as there is, to my knowledge, no seal kit available.
Other than that the car is great and as a standard road car does very well. Weight transfer because of road suspension can make the back end comically mobile at times, which comes to the only thing I would change, if I could, would be the rev hang. It is not serious but on track it would be nice to have more engine braking. Because of this you have to brake instead of just lifting of for some corners. Combine this with a slight bit of turbo lag, meaning you want to get on the throttle earlier and it can mean you are still on the brakes while you want to be on the throttle to allow for the lag. I'm having to learn to drive in a slightly different fashion.
Not bad considering the car is on Goodyear Supersport road tyres and all the others are on track rubber.
