and they're actually fairly reliable tbh... no problems at all.

Probably true. Just the horror stories I heard from Clio Sport owners when I was considering buying one a few years ago turned me off the Renault Sport gear. Hella fun to drive but wouldn't want to have to pay for owning one.

meh, is rather look good going slow, than look ugly going fast
Ha it'll take more than a car to help you, bud! (No, I don't know you - you just left yourself wide open with that one)

Yeh I suppose they might go a few weeks without breaking down. One owner I spoke to gave his service rep a spare key, so each time it broke down he just called the service rep to come and get it.

we had a regular clio 1.6A without breaking down since 2007, it finally broke because my sister went into a pole. so, they're not that bad.

a 2002 laguna that was sold in 2008 also worked very very well, no breakdowns at all..

the laguna before though. LOL. gearbox issues gearbox issues gearbox issues.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
