My flatmate has a black CTR, but he also kept his old Valver. I guess that for Valver owners the whole VTEC late cam thing is easy to live with, so it seemed like a natural progression for him. It may also have had something to do with the 16vs low trade-in value, but my flatmate swears...

I would thrash it if I were you - the Granny ones make less power later.

About £500 expensive! That was at a very cheap place as well (£20 labour per hour and cost price parts!!).

The CTR is just one of those cars I cannot bring myself to like. It may be fast and handle well, but it just has no character and no soul.

It really is a case of "spoiler" in the case of that horrible "thing" on the back of the car. I think the tints look poo as well. Ruining a classic..

Sounds possibly as if the diff has gone and taken the box casing with it?? Happened to me; same symptoms.

Yup - screws straight off. While were kind of on the topic, would it be easy to clock the car??? The mileometer didnt look ivincible to me!

I dont think any 16v driver would think they could have a 220 Turbo. But a NA 220 is well in the target sight.

Ok - did it!!! Cheers for the help. I just gave it a massive tug in the end. Then I replaced the wrong bulb and had to pull it all apart again!!!

Cheers Mat - where exactly is it in the footwell? Or is obvious??

Hmmm...will have a try later!

So I pinch the speedo cable - what about the others? I still cant see how Ive got room!!

Ive got a blown bulb in my dash (for dipped beam) and just want to get the clocks out of the dash. I have no troble until it comes to trying to pull the cables out of the back of the speedo/rev counter unit. Theres no room to slide my hand behind the unit and it wont just pull off! Help...

Id print this off if I were you! This is the sum of almost my entire 16v/Williams knowledge that Ive put together for buyers like you! Read the 1994 Cars & Car Conversions article on the Williams on the main Cliosport site...

Would it do a severe stone chip?? Ive got one just on my bonnet bulge: its about the size of a woodlouse and has nearly gone down to the metal. Would this kit work on it?? Cheers

Tesco and Direct Line are the same company - Royal Bank of Scotland. Theres never a great deal of variation between their quotes. Try Halifax or their "e-sure" brand for people with 4years plus NCB.

Do you live in Wales mate?

No! No! No! The Willy was developed by RenaultSport, as an evolution of the 16v, similar to today with the 172/Cup duo. Williams never even touched the car! See http://www.cliosport.net/articles/williams-2.asphttp://www.cliosport.net/articles/williams-2.asp for the full details. The...

Yeah, check that the cambelt has been done. I wouldnt worry too much if the other bits have lasted - I always hear about gboxes going at 60k, whereas mine is fine on 99k (flatmates was replaced at 130k after a flood wrecked it!). The 16v is a very stiff and harsh riding car - it rolls a...

110lb/ft @ 2500rpm; 129lb/ft @ 4250rpm. Its all youll ever need in a sub-1000kg car and is there at the right revs! Its the very reason they made the Willy - the similar F7P unit in the 16v makes similar torque, but at higher revs.

Well, either way it doesnt matter to me... my alarm receiver is buggered anyway!

Yeah, all you 172 must be a bit gutted as most Williams make well over the 150bhp it says on the tin!

So where can I get one from then?? Eurocarparts web site claims to have stock of them at £7 - so whats going on!!?? Cheers

Thats what I thought - which is why I had to come on here and brag about it!!!

I dont know what gear it was in (how could I know that!!??:confused:) I was talking about what gears I was in! :p What we know is that it was making a couple of car lengths on me when I hit 3rd; that it was trying; that it said 20v Turbo in red badges on the side; and that it was making...

Its just the de-cat I guess. Didnt do it before I put that on. The car has headwork and cams, but nothing radical. I dont know what to say about the Coupe really, it just happened. Ill never know if it was shagged or not, but black smoke is fairly normal on the upchange. I always see...

The early Megane 2.0 16v is the same F7R engine as the Willy, but with the same head as the F7P (Clio 16v) - has 30mm inlet valves rather than 32mm valves and is really a very minor difference. This make 150bhp. The later Megane 2.0 IDE uses a different unit and makes 140bhp. Not as quick.

Clio 16v stats: Power-to-weight: 140bhp per ton. 0-60: 7.7 (official), 7.4 (Autocar, 1991) 30-70: 7.1 50-70 (in 5th): 8.9 Top speed: 130mph. Doesnt sound like its going to lose to a 115bhp Calibra to me!
