Hiya. I am in discussions with Forge about retrofitting the intercooler they have developed (with Godspeed Brakes) for a racing 308gti2. That car has pretty much the same 266 bhp powertrain as in the RCZ-R. Forge are asking me for : "a picture of the Intercooler on your vehicle with the...

New map and risks alert loaded no issues. Will be loading in the wife's 3008 RT6 shortly. Thanks Chris yet again. 👍

After saving a whole ton of cash on my RCZ-R recently due to my frankly wonderful Pug Ext warranty (its the warranty that keeps on giving), I've finally decided to splash some of the cash I saved on getting my 19" R alloys refurbed/diamond-cut. I already have a set of 19" Technical Alloys off a...

Re: Wheel spacers for my R - to fit 19" Technical's from a G I've used the http://www.willtheyfit.com site to put together a number of spacer options - comparing the R wheels with the Technicals - with a number of thickness spacers. I believe adding a spacer to a wheel with Positive offset...

Re: Wheel spacers for my R - to fit 19" Technical's from a G Thanks. You sure - on the fronts? I am less worried about the rears. I can seem to get 5mm spacers easily enough (without bolts - will have to find some) - and 15mm (with bolts) from fleabay. Just was unsure if I would get rubbing on...

Lo there. Its time to get my manky R's 19" alloys re-powder coated and diamond cut. A while back I bought a set of 19" Technical's from a breaker and had a look see what one was like fitted - to see if they cleared the caliper. I want to fit these while my alloys are being worked on, and maybe...

Hiya. Looked into this a while ago but never got round to get it sorted. I have lipping on my R discs and think I need them skimmed, to avoid the ridiculous cost of new ones. Now I did go to the skimmydiscs.co.uk site at the time to see where my local Pro-Cut franchise was, and after phone...

Happy to share. It's a good community here, and we all share what we can. Think it took Godspeed less than 3 weeks from them receiving the discs to them being back with me. Which is pretty damn rapid if you ask me.

Thanks for the update. Interesting to see you can get the bits for Alcon Calipers from there, the biggest issue is ensuring you are ordering exactly the right set of components. They look like the might be right for the RCZ/888 calipers - but unless you have an exact part number to go by - its a...

I don't know what to say about the difference in sizes. Where are you getting this info from (incl prices). I took whatever pistons I could remove (after soak in WD40 and a blast of compressed air) from the calipers and measured the two sizes large and small with a digital caliper. That is what...

.................BTW, the other thing that needs to be considered is cost. While IMHO the Michelin PS4s are likely the "best" tyre for the job, they are that at a premium. So some 25% more than the Eagle F1's that the R was originally homologated against. So taking price/performance into...

@lewligan FWIW I created a poll on the RCZ Facebook group on this very subject https://www.facebook.com/groups/rczownersgroup/permalink/1682655721796381/ Results were thus: Continental Conti Sport 5 +23 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s +12 Continental Conti...

No performance gains expected TBH. But that's no biggie, as these calipers with the stock mild steel pistons stop on a sixpence anyway. This is a long term investment, in that even the ones that are currently sitting on my R and have been swapped under warranty should fail at some point in the...

OK folks, Sent my spare (free) set of Calipers off to Godspeed and this is what they made of them. New non-rotting stainless pistons fitted :dance: Yet to receive them, but looking good so far :beer: Before: After:

Sorry this took a while 41.3mm and 37.8mm O/D measured with a digital vernier.
