No, there weren’t any deposits on the discs, the pedal wasn’t vibrating, but the car started not braking as usual, and when I touched the discs, I could feel that they’d warped, and the pad wasn’t making full contact with the disc. It looked a bit like the picture. I can try doing one more...

I only do 1–2 hot laps because of the oil temperature; I don’t have an oil cooler, and with this car, it’s impossible to do more laps than that without reaching 130°C. What I meant to say is that, even doing this, I’ve always had problems with the brakes. Honestly I consider that I brake ok—I...

75ºC is not enough. The ideal temperature in our car is approximately 98 degrees. Below 80 degrees the viscosity isn't optimal and the fluid isn't operating within the correct temperature range; moreover, it doesn't reach a high enough temperature to evaporate moisture. This is overcooling and...

Hahaha there’s no doubt that this car’s brakes aren’t up to the job. On mountain roads, with good brake pads that can withstand the heat, there’s usually no problem, but on the track there are still plenty of overheating issues...

Yes, the Godspeed one is a very good option, but the downside is that for the rest of Europe we have to pay customs duties, which makes it quite a bit more expensive. I had a brake kit like that in mind, but I’m not sure whether the problem would be solved simply by fitting some track-oriented...

So, here are our conclusions so far regarding oil coolers in Europe: - All radiator-type coolers have the problem that they remain 10–15% open, even if they have a thermostat, to prevent sudden temperature changes. At normal motorway temperatures, the oil will cool down too much, so ideally the...

Hello. I use my GR86 on the track, and I’ve always had problems with the brakes. I’ve been thinking about fitting a BBK, but I’m not sure whether I should try installing some brake discs more suited to track use first. So far, I’ve fitted three sets of standard brake discs, with Ferodo...

Not to Godspeed. If I'm not mistaken, they're from the UK, and I didn't want to have to deal with customs or pay the extra fees, which is why I was looking at the one from K-Systems. Edit: I just checked out Godspeed's options and saw that they also offer a rear brake kit with 316mm rotors...

Hello, I'm searching for a BBK in Europe; one year ago you talked about the K-Systems kit with Clio RS calipers, but that kit doesn't solve my overheating problem because it uses the same size rotor, they have a kit similar to the Godspeed one, with Megane RS calipers...

Has anyone measured how much the oil pressure drops with the oil cooler installed? The only downside that makes me hesitate to install it is that it will lower the overall oil pressure under normal conditions.

wow... I was going to buy this one, but since this happened to you, maybe I'll look for another option... Have you had this problem from the start, or has it come on over time?
