    Finally Decided, the Williams must go

    Well the original STi was basically a WRX, no upgraded engine mods or the likes, the 2 was upgraded and the 3 came with a close deck block (stronger engine). 10k should get you a good 2/3, the 4 was meant to be the best (in some peoples books) but i would look at these cars carefully as alot...

    Finally Decided, the Williams must go

    I do admit that i have never looked back after buying the scoob (except i want a newer one now as mine is nearly 3 yrs old) but if you can afford it then do buy one, if you cannot afford it then dont, buying one and not being able to run it is a sin itself..... Tony

    Finally Decided, the Williams must go

    Oh who said STi? No doubt the garage have said that the running costs are around the same as your clio (if they did they would be lying!) as you will need to take into consideration a few factors before even attempting to buy an Import STi. First of all, the car only runs on SUL (super...

    Tyres

    The SO2S are now extinct ..... i would go for the Goodyear IMHO (i have SO2 PPs on my car) but the GSd3s are meant to be very good. Tony

    clio172vs306gti-6

    I acutally think that the old 16v renaults look more dated than the 306s, and having gone from one to another i can say they were different beasts completely. Rich, as for the gti-6 engine being anyway different to the rallyes.... i dunno about that as ive seen rallyes that only push out...

    145mph 106gti,clio sport eater

    LOL! ;) The fact is that the 106 GTi doesnt have the gearing to make 145mph in the first place (even into the red) so its a bit of a joke (and 14.5mph out). Tony

    clio172vs306gti-6

    Hmm this is going off topic abit but ill add my part anyway. Having come from a R19 16v to a 306 GTi-6 i can say that its one storming car, now between a 172 and a GTi6 i would say that there is nothing in it as you cannot really compare a 6 speed car against a 5 speed car (the GTi-6 is...

    Chipped Willy, the journey home....

    Will, if your going to rolling road your car then fit the original chip and run with that then change to the other chip afterwards (within 10 mins or so) as anything else wont be acceptable due to the conditions of the day (which is the only thing thats variable). Tony

    Chipped Willy, the journey home....

    Hmmm i do really doubt that they can guarantee a 15bhp increase, maybe 5-7bhp and a few extra pounds of torque but its quite hard getting much more out of a N/A engine without better breathing mods/uprated cams etc. What your probably feeling is the fact that your car now goes to 7k rpm, but...
