i bought I Clio track car. (I know, renaults are aweful things! Just a bit of fun for a few months then il sell it on!)


It's a Clio 172 (53 plate), cage, coilovers ect, with a Megane 225 engine and box. Came with a print out for 281bhp.

It has an aftermarket pedal box fitted- with 3 master cylinders attached. The servo from under the bonnet has been removed. I'm guessing because there would be no room for the turbo with the servo fitted?

Anyway- the pedal is absolutely solid and you have to push the pedal through the floor to get the brakes to work!! Does anyone know what I can do to improve the pedal? I want to do a track day but I'm sure the thing won't stop as the pedal is at the moment!

Any advise appreciated

Cheers

 

Bleed and replace the fluids, check all seals and operation of Pistons check the servo too

 

Ok thanks- I will do. I'll get some decent brake fluid for it, may as well get new pads all round as I don't know how old they are. Il check piston operation too- but the servo has been removed due to space I think.

 

Non servo assist brakes are always going to be hard work mate

 

Yeah most of it is because it doesn't have a servo. You just have to have big leg muscles.

Don't knock the Clio, great little track cars, you will have a lot of fun in it.

 

Cheers for the replys.

The pedal box has 3 master cylinders. I'm guessing 1 for the clutch, and 1 for front brakes and 1 for rear brakes. If I fit a remote servo, do I simply just plumb them in-line after the master cylinder? Shall I just get 2 the same and then fit a bias valve?

 

Or there is a dual circuit remote servo- surely that's all I need?!

 

The brake master cylinders are probably sized incorrectly
