From 252Ps/320Nm to 302Ps/375Nm is sensible and manageable. So the original calipers can work with the bigger rotors?


Reading your project update, it brings back good memories on the mod done to my golf gti 7-8 years ago. It was kind of like my own weekend car as no one in the family wanted to sit in it😂. Now I go by the motto “Stock is best”😂.

Alpine A 110 Legende : 4th stage of improvements.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2024-16:23
The third stage was dedicated to power, torque, mainly. Now I have to focus on the brakes, as the car is too powerful for the small discs I have. A real pain on tracks. The original discs on my car are 296 mm big. For a 252 HP and a 1128 kilos car, it was...

If I’m not wrong any improvement of the car performance (engine, brakes, etc…) is unfortunately considered illegal on French roads… not too concerned by the potential loss of insurance coverage in case of accident? Or did you find a way around it?

unless you plan on tracking it or spending a lot of time on the autobahn. Also that's a very cool (and stealthy) color! Hey Renault! If Fiat and Alfa Romeo could manage returning to the US YOU CAN TOO! ;-)
