:lol: :lol: how true About this "drive hard". It doesn't wear off 8-) Just yesterday I did another 150 mph on the autobahn. The only limiting factor are those big diesels blocking the left lane with 130 mph.

If you need any input on a long term ownership of the R version, I'm your man :greetings-wavingblue: Done with my R almost 100.000 miles and learnt a lot about the weak and strong points of this model.

One day when it stops then you know the insulation on the turbo heat shield is gone. And most probably you'd need a new shield. Been there, done that :beer:

Welcome!!

The discs cannot be separated from the bell. It is an one-piece part. @Docksey007 You can try the 308 discs on your R. Before that I'd check the wheel hub (is it exactly the same as on the R?), the PCD/hole and then order them. When it comes to wear-off indicator for those original R discs...

this is how they look like

As you mentioned, the discs on the R are slotted compared to 308's and the construction of the hat or bell, the piece connecting the disc to the wheel hub, is a different one. I assume they changed the design due to the occasional squealing when breaking on those R discs. Where this issue was...

You could try the 308 discs on your R but I don't know if anyone tried it before. Alcon still manufactures the original discs for the R. They look a bit different to those on the 308. Pads, well you got the ebay item here. Much cheaper it won't get. Calipers? What are your plans? To strip...

Re: My RCZ went home !!! What a great read! Give us some more of it :greetings-wavingblue: Yes, indeed you need to treat the police/officials in those post-communism countries in a certain way. I also had few encounters with them and the RCZ was like a red carpet to them. But all went good at...

:lol: This is a never-ending topic around the RCZ. Almost everybody asks me the following question when they see the RCZ first time: Does the roof opens? Is it glass? Answer: No. And no. Reply: ohhh, that is a pity. It'd be so nice... So, it is a sheet of painted metal even if it looks like...

She is very tidy. At least on the inside. Outside-wise, hmmm, it gives me an idea. I'm going to make some close-up pictures...

Yep. The high pressure fuel pump is a weak spot on the RCZ. They tend to fail after about 2-3 years of driving or 30-50k miles

Sweet looking black beauty :greetings-wavingblue: By the way, you'd see my R's end pipes after almost 100k miles and never been cleaned :wave:

Go on, use it. I use it on my R too.

Welcome!

Happy New Year 2018 to all of you! May your RCZ bring a smile to your face in moments you need it most :greetings-wavingblue: (I know, it is cringy but you know what I mean :lol: )

A late Merry Christmas to you!

About 10 years ago I was driving a Renault Megane Sport. An excellent driver's car. Really something outstanding. Back then the police in Poland received few of those Megane as pursuit vehicles. What they did back then was video taping drivers violating the highway code and stopping them. So...

Thumbs up! Mechanics who understand the whole engineering aspect of an engine are rare nowadays :greetings-wavingblue: The failure you describe here drove my mechanic to replace the chain and tensioner prematurely due to very high loads on my engine. Tensioner was already leaking and the...

Re: +80.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) No mechanical failures. I think it is down to the software. Let's wait and see.
