YozzaSport Announces Scalable Brake Upgrades for RenaultSport Megane RS and Clio RS.
YozzaSport announces the release of a three stage brake upgrade package for the RenaultSport Megane RS and Clio RS range. The three stage upgrade consists of firstly, a YozzaSport brake bell with a two piece 312mm AP Racing Disc. The second stage uses the same YozzaSport brake bell but upgrades to a custom 330mm AP Racing Disc, using a YozzaSport caliper conversion bracket. The third stage removes the Brembo 4 pot caliper and replaces it with AP Racing 4 pot caliper ensuring that the 330mm disc’s braking potential is utilised completely.

Scalable Brake Upgrades for RenaultSport Megane RS and Clio RS.
With owners of Megane RS , 225, 230, R26.R, Clio RS 197 and 200 experiencing braking issues such as warped and cracked brake discs, brake overheating, pad material deposited on the disc resulting in juddering, pad fade and other issues, YozzaSport have brought forward their new brake packages for two of the most highly acclaimed road and trackday cars of recent years.
For YozzaSport, it is important, that these upgrades are scalable, affordable and are backwards compatible with the 2003+ Megane RS as well as the Clio 197 and 197 Cup variants, and as such we have designed these brake upgrade packages to fit behind the 17” Clio Speedline wheel that many road users have as standard, and that trackday enthusiasts prefer over the 18” standard wheels on the Megane RS.
YozzaSport Stage 1
312mm YozzaSport Brake Bell/AP Racing Disc – £599
YozzaSport Stage 2
330mm AP Racing Disc & YozzaSport Caliper Adapter Bracket – + £669.99
YozzaSport Stage 3
4/6 Piston AP Racing Calipers & YozzaSport Caliper Adapter Bracket – + (from) £629.99
Stage 1 – 312mm YozzaSport Bell/AP Racing Disc – £519.84+VAT
Replacement Discs (Pair) – £399
Megane RS AP Racing 2 piece disc
This kit replaces the standard brake disc with a tangential cooling veined, 8 grooved, AP Racing 312mm disc and a custom YozzaSport brake bell.
The standard 312mm brake discs found on the Megane and Clio RS range are more than adequate for most road users, however, once the car is taken beyond the normal road limits onto the track or race circuit, the standard brake pads and brake discs are not as reliable due to the higher operating temperatures. Pad transfer issues, warped and distorted discs and caliper flex are some of the issues reported to us by customers.
The main purpose of the tangential vane design is to provide a cooling space between the disc braking faces, but if the vane design was a simple straight type or even a pillar design such as the standard OE brake disc, then the disc could become unstable at high temperatures. The tangential curved vane provide superior support to the brake faces over the straight vein and pillar disc design, and lessens the risk of brake disc warping / vibration induced by high brake temperatures.
The 8 grooves in the disc ensure that any brake gases and dust is expelled from the braking surface and also create a clean braking surface on the pad to offer maximum surface contact area with the disc/pad.
Stage 2 – 330mm AP Racing Disc & YozzaSport Caliper Adapter Bracket – £829.99
Replacement Discs (Pair) – £499
Upgrade from Stage 1 – £669.99
Outright Purchase of Stage 2 – £829.99
YozzaSport 330mm AP Racing Disc and Adaption Brackets
This kit upgrades the brake discs to a 330mm x 28mm disc, whilst retaining the YozzaSport Bell from the 312mm kit as well as the OEM Brembo 4 pot caliper. With an increased disc size, there is increased stopping power, as well as reduced operating temperatures due to the design of the curved cooling veins within the brake disc. The AP racing casting is machined to specification for YozzaSport, with the grooves being machined into the disc to offer extremely high quality and high performance discs with the benefit of being a simple upgrade to our 312mm stage 1 conversion.
It is designed to fit behind a 17″ Clio Cup Racer wheel and clears the wheel shoulder with around 7mm to spare – as you can see with the picture here with a wheel weight clearing the caliper.
With YozzaSport machined brake adaption brackets included in the package price, as well as all of the brake fittings that are required to fit both the brackets and discs to the vehicle, the upgrade offers both outstanding value and performance. The brake kit is intended to be the highest level of performance that can be achieved without making the investment in an uprated four or six piston brake caliper for the Clio and Megane RS.
Stage 3 – 4 or 6 Piston AP Racing Calipers & YozzaSport Caliper Adapter Bracket – starting from £629.99
Replacement Discs (Pair) – £499
Upgrade from Stage 1 – from £629.99
Outright Purchase of Stage 3 – from £1980
A P Racing Road and Race Calipers
For the ultimate on track braking performance for the Clio 197 and Megane RS the standard Brembo monoblock caliper, is not as stiff as a conventional 2-piece caliper. There are no bolts to connect the 2 halves of the caliper together; these help to reduce the distortion of a caliper under load. This means that the standard Clio RS and Megane RS caliper distorts more under braking and cornering producing the tapered wear patterns on the brake pad which some race and trackday users are experiencing with the standard brake components.
YozzaSport offer a full brake kit for the Clio 197/200 and the Megane RS 255/230 including the R26.R and F1 variants which utilise a variety of AP Racing road and race 4 and 6 piston calipers which are fully serviceable and offer the option to use a much broader selection of road and race pads over the standard RenaultSport/Brembo caliper.

Clio Williams No. 226 History and Information
- Clio Williams 1 No. 226 Plaque
Clio Williams No. 226 was originally the prize car won by Allister Lolye for the Gerard MotorSport team at the end of the 1993 RenaultSport Clio Cup Championship. The vehicle is No. 226 of a total of 400 UK Cars.
It has a leather folder full of all of the information about the history of the car and a full list of receipts and purchases for everything related to the car, including all old MOT certificates confirming the milage as genuine and demonstrating that the car has been owned by genuine enthusiasts throughout its life.
I purchased the car earlier this year to mechanically restore it, as it was in need of some TLC as the clutch had gone and the former owner had been made reduntant and didn’t plan to replace it. The car also needed a few items sourcing to bring it back to its former glory and to make it an original condition vehicle again.
22-02-09 Vehicle Purchase By Andrew Hughes on Trade Purchase Slip
MOT was carried out on – April 3rd 2009 – 103099 miles
The following points were highlighted as advisory items:
- Nearside front Macpherson strut has slight movement in the upper support bearing
- Offside front Macpherson strut has slight movement in the upper support bearing
- Engine Noise
The engine noise that was mentioned on the MOT advisory note was Cambelt slap and it was decided that the Cambelt and Accessory belts would be changed to provide the new owner with a mechanically sound vehicle. These have been changed, and the vehicle runs perfectly.
The vehicle has been dry stored over the Summer of 2009 and has had the following works undertaken in my free time:
- New Clutch (Valeo) Kit
- Renault Cambelt Kit
- Renault Accessory Belt
- Brembo HC Front Discs
- Ferodo DS2500 Front and Rear Brake Pads
- 4 x 185/55/15 Toyo Proxy T1-R
- Replacement O/S Driveshaft
- Valeo Radiator
- Replacement Oil and Renault Filter
- Replacement (Valeo) N/S Fog light
- Exhaust Centre Section Repacked
The following parts are supplied with the car as there are a few elements that are non original items or that are missing.
I am supplying these items with the car, rather than fitting them and trying to hide the fact that the car isn’t quite original. These items are as follows:
- Original Clio Williams parcel shelf and suit carrier as the one currently in the car is a Clio 1.8 16v item.
- Replacement gearbox tunnel plastic trim, as at some point a car phone kit has been fitted into the passenger foot well – it has been removed without damaging the item more and pop riveted to hide the holes, but a replacement item is supplied.
- Replacement dash cowling between the steering wheel and instrument panel, as initial immobiliser fob had been installed into this trim.
- Replacement plastic engine covers.
- Replacement Clio Williams rear ¼ trims. The rear quarter panel trims are not black as they should be – I ordered the replacement items from Renault, and they arrived in Silver, exactly as per the items on the car. I then discovered that all that needs to happen is that some Renault black tape needs applying to these trims to make them “Williams” items, rather than 1.8 16v items.
- Brand New Renault Water pump – I thought that there may be some movement in the one on there – there wasn’t it was sound, and didn’t require replacing.
- Replacement Williams Decals (non Renault) as the ones on there are a little faded.
Items that you may wish to amend / faults
- O/S rear arch is rusting slightly.
- N/S rear arch could also do with some attention; however the condition is not bad at all.
- Driver’s door has a small ding in the metal work above the mirror.
- A small patch of rust on the rear tailgate.
- Driver’s seat has had a small repair to the cloth at some point in its history. It is about 9mm long and is not very noticeable at all.
- The exhaust heat shield is missing – these are £60 from Renault – I can supply the part number if necessary.

Phil Glew reviews the new RenaultSport Clio 200 Cup
Phil Glew, Elf Renault Clio Cup Championship driver, reviews the brand new Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup taking it on a lap of Silverstone Circuit.
After driving the new Clio 200 Cup Racer at Silverstone, Phil Glew gives his thoughts on the new Clio 200 Cup roadcar and takes it for a lap of Silverstone Short Circuit (National Circuit). It’s only a short video, and the interesting that he says that the cup race cars have only had an upgrade. This was the same as the old UK Clio Cup Racer 172 Ph1 > Clio 172 Ph2 upgrade and then this already upgraded car was upgraded to the Clio 182.
He also demonstrates a good lap around the circuit:
