Will do.

Hmmmh...not quite - the dealers are fcking retarded so I had to go via the Renault Nissan Croatia with the part numbers I had from the Clio Cup/R3 catalogue.

All of them said that this part can't be ordered. It's because those parts are Renault Sport Competition (Alpina) and not "plain" RS. mg:mg:

Can't see the pics??

 

[Raptor6767]

I don't have any issues with the pics.

If you google 'clio cup bohemia' there are links on there for the renaultsport parts, is that any help?

[Raptor6767]

I had no problems with obtaining the part numbers, just with obtaining the parts.

But do they have a supplier close to you?

 

[Raptor6767]

They've got 5.

If you were thinking about the Renault dealership.

 

[Raptor6767]

Decided to get the rotors too.

OEM ones have 78kkm & are 5 years old.

DS2500 & Brembo rotors will be a good combo.

 

[Raptor6767]

His 5th birthday is coming up in less than 2 months so I've decided to give him a treat :

 

[Raptor6767]

Changed the clutch & the slave cylinder (LUK) and the clutch pedal feels so soft that I thought it was broken.
It now releases the clutch from the start and not from the end.

Brembo discs & Ferodo DS2500 - don't know what to say - did only 5km. Haven't bedded them in yet.

However - on Saturday I was playing with the brake servo and the vacuum hose and I think I have found the cause of my poor brake performance in the last 4 years - the seals between the brake servo and the hose weren't good so I have sealed them. It seems that the brakes bite harder now from the start even with old pads/rotors (had them changed yesterday).

Lower ball joints - the old ones with 78kkm were terrible - now the car is transformed - one of the best spent 90€. You can see the travel that they have and the new ones have NONE.

You need to heat the hub and it practically slips out.

The rubber seal between the hose and the brake servo.
