my old 1.4 did this, mates 1.4, my 1.8 16v, all my 2l, adis 2l, mates 2l. All you need is a full exhaust, an accelarator cable with no slack, and do exactly as Glenn said, cane it in gear, then on overrun, tap the accelerator!
LOL, im expecting to to be honest, renos chocolate boxes are sh*te!
Maritin, leather will be kept in for shows and everyday use, but will just strip out the usual for strip/track action, on the road i doubt it will make a massive difference, with over 200bhp traction is gonna be my main problem.
Yep, pictures look awesome! Quality of work looks top notch. Martin, who knows about the strip, we shall ahve to wait and see, if traction isnt too much of a problem i should see 13s!
Danny it should be ready to run already as its spending most of Friady on the rollers on will have a power run on Saturday. Should be ready for Saturday but hitting a few problems in terms of fitting longer trumpets which is what i want, but time/space is running out!
Cheers for the pics and update Ben, 7 days left!
Ive had a lot of people intrested in a group buy on bowdywork so i will start a separate post, ive spoken to the garage and they are keen on it aswell (obviosuly)
March the 12th Khan, its a saturday! Same day as GDI RR day so gonna get it on rollers then and there, see what eveyrone elses make, then have a sweet drive home!
Danny, its in Liverpool, and its a price available to all, currently trying to sort a group buy with two other members to see if we can get a further discount.
Ben, i nearly bought a 182, but the amount of money i would lose depreciation wise on that would be similar to the clio im building...
Cheers Nick, i hope to get a run agianst yours this season, would be good to see the differences in power delivery!
danny, the whole respray is costing me £400, in white, includes sorting some rust out, smoothing the tailgate and de-badging the front. Its the same place the did Martins banana.
hell yeah, not been for a season, want to see this TT clio and Nick Reads. And will be good to finally meet you Martin. Its defo gonna be a good season!
yeah eveyone can jump in for a blast (not at the same time tho).
Waiting for pics myself, its all work in progress at mo and waiting for parts! Not even gonna cost as much as you think, latest estimate of price is circa £7k including car, willy engine/box, new track and suspension, T/B...
Latest update, just been on the phone to Paul at infinicar and Andy GDI, the willy track with GAZ coilovers are scheduled to be put on begining of next week. New top mounts, wishbones and bushes at the same time.
AWTs part (the engine) is coming on ok as well, waiting for parts is the big...
bit odd that mate TBH, a chipped willy usually revs to 7200-7500 depending on chip. Arre you sure its the 2l and not the 1.8? Does it make good low end power?
Hi mate, recognise the name from CUK? Im form the noerthwest, around teh Cheadle area. Good friends with Glen, GWorks. Cant really go wrong with the 182 mate, mint motors!
TBH handling is not as much of a strength as outright straight line power, through twisties i doubt there would be an awful lot in it, in a straight line the valver is considerably slower.
;) the valver and willy engines are EXACTLY the same fromt eh exterior bar smaller starter motor (which rumour has, some clios came with the smaller motor)
The manifolds are different, but unless they take the engine to bits to measure crank throw and bore size they will not be able to tell...

Im 2nd in reaction times! And Jon, 2Live, not the one in front no more!
Martin, maran racing seem to have vanished, BenR is doing the conversion at AWT.
Spec will be as follows;
Williams bottom end, megane head with AWT headwork, 280 cams, AWT throttle body kit (based around Jenvey gear), OMEX ecu. BenR will know a little better then me, but he is hoping for...
Pics would be useless as th eonly work carried out at the moment (Williams engine/box and manual steering conversion) arent worth photoing at mo!
Car is just a white clio 16v that hasnt been washed for a while, with leather. Im sure the pics will start flowing as soon as its dropped off to...
Just to keep all updated on my project, got my Williams wheels today, they weill be sent to Pro Clean to have them sprayed white with a silver lip.
Megane head is on its way to BenR at the moment and teh car is being dropped off at GDI HQ on friday for Ben to wave his AngelWorks wand at it...
