That’s great thanks. Looks like an exhaust manifold change makes a big difference to power and torque from that thread.

Has anyone fitted a 182 exhaust manifold on a f7R Williams engine? If so what difference does it make to power and torque?

Thanks Paddy, I’m starting to get an idea of what exactly is on the car now. Slowly getting there, but I’m sure I’ll still have more questions.

Yes, the specs on the speedline wheels being 7.25 and 53 eta do seem a bit odd, hence why I asked the question? Is there much difference between the prima wheel and the speedline wheel as the prima wheel costs have the amount?

Hi, Will the speedline group A 7.25 x 16” rally wheel fit a clio Williams without any modifications? (Photo) What’s the arch clearance like? Has anyone fitted them and has photos? Thanks

Thanks Brigsy. I’ll do just that. I’ll check the prima eBay page and then if no luck I’ll check out the speed line ones. Thanks.

Paddy, Did you get 5 to checks the dimensions of the hubs for me so I can see what’s on my car? Thanks

Yes, I haven’t taken the plunge yet. Their website is still live but it looks like no one’s homes?

Can you still buy Prima racing wheels? They’re not answering emails or the phone?

Here’s a few more photos for you. I’ve checked the paperwork with the car and it says it’s a Jc5 gearbox fitted with Avanti gear set and lsd.

Hi paddy, Here’s the dimensions of the overall diameter of the driveshafts splines 23mm and the hub where it fits into the bottom shock mount 22mm. (See photos) Do you know which hub it is?

Can you see the box under all those pipes? Is it a jc5? It’s got a digital dash so may not have a manual Speedo drive

I think my car has a JC5. What’s the order of the best /better gearboxes for Clio. What gearbox came with the Clio Williams and what is the JC5 off

Not really any difference then.

And is there any definitive way or ‘how to guide’ to go about the maxi route of widening the suspension which is easy to understand, has been done before and doesn’t use spacers? Is there anything on here explained in bullet points? I don’t mind modifying what I already have if it doesn’t...

Anyone got photos of a Clio Williams on 16” Prima wheels? I just want to see what they look like.

Thanks paddy, also is there anything physical on the car that makes the Williams different?

Only high enough for wheel clearance so they’re still there. I think a lower wing repair panel could fix it. Besides the wider wings is there anything else on the body that can tell me it’s a Williams shell?

There’s so many options to make the car a maxi with regards to suspension with my basic (no) knowledge of the Clio, it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m a classic Mini and Vauxhall Corsa/nova person which I’ve rallied. So I’m starting to bring another option into the mould. 1. Go maxi replica. 2. Go...

Ok, I didn’t realise that. I think it’s a good kit. And it’s the most of the shelf kit I’ve seen so far.

Have you got a photo of your setup?

I believe it’s a straight swap

It looks like it used uprated torsion bars and standard shocks to suit a lowered car. I had to use my phone to translate!

I’ve had this email from the Ruanova company in France. Front suspension uses modified Renault laguna front hubs and Renault scenic rear beam. What for you think? This looks a good way of making the Clio a maxi without spacers? For rear for sure this kit: -...

I can check the hole size on a spare pair of driveshafts I got with the car and the hub when I get 5 to take the wheel off when I get five.

I’d love to answer that question, but I don’t know. There’s definitely 15-20mm spacers all round and 17” et35 wheels as in the photo. How can I tell what hubs are on it? And part numbers?

You probably know more about the car than I do? I’m still doing research on the cars history. For some reason the car was fitted with some rally solid lifter cams and the new engine now has mild Kent 2002 cams. Did you buy them of him?

Thanks, they’re great photos. 😁

If you could that would be great. I’m trying to find as much history on the car as possible. I’ve just found out that the car did the tour of Mull at least 6 times! 😁

Yes, that’s the one. 👍🏻
