i dont think its the clutch that wears causing it to become tights, its the lube in the clutch cable. If you have a new clutch cable fitted you will notice it becomes soft / easy to use. Over time the lube wears out and it gets tight. This is when the cable can sometimes snap. Ive been through...

you should see mine then.

You could go for a 2ltr convertion? - sorry, had to say it. If your sticking with your current setup then you only have 2 options i think? TBs / headwork. From what i gather headwork gives you a nice performance gain all over so maybe a few cams are in order? followed by gas flowed & ported...

:oops: - they told me it came from a williams i tell you.

bet the 172 felt nice to drive after owning a primera for 3 yrs ;). My Valver is my 2nd car - and i intend in keeping it for many yrs to come.

would like to know where u got 6k from @ 17. i was as skint as a flint at that age. Ive paid for all my cars and insurance myself - with the help of a bank lone which i finish in December.

Thank you Alex. Speak to weight and adams about the convertion tho as they already have theres (there not giving much away! lol) I think its for greedy people really as i am more then happy with my 1.8.

how about u have my 1.8, and do a twin engine convertion Glenn? 4x4 style! youll be the new 1/4 daddy! (even tho you cant drive to save your life) ;)

Trying to get a list together of all the parts that ill be replacing on my soon to be Williams engine. all "internals" are staying as they are, Only bolt on parts i can think to replace are :- 1. clutch 2. water pump 3. Oil Pump 4. Dogbone mount however do i really need to replace the...

I agree with you Ben - i travel 50miles a day with my once clocked 42k valver, which has now racked up 72k miles! And i can that every mile has kept me smiling on my travels! I love driving my valver to work, and never get bored going to and from work! Im having a williams engine slapped in...

what about if you own a clio 16v with a williams engine? does that count?

Patty, i dont know if this is any help to you? but ive attached some pics of the false floor im currently making at the mo. Its a lightweight floor and weighs next to nothing (ive jigged holes all the way through to save weight) im going to carpeting it today and finishing the lid. Ill post...

bloody hell alex!! thats crazy! after reading these stories im thinking about getting one of those keypad imoblisers - the type you have to key in a pin for. Or maybe a cut off switch that cuts the ignition at a flick of a switch! Sounds like the kids doing these crimes dont have the brains of...

sorry to hear that Tom - thank f**k you got out ok (car aswell) What sort of things were they saying to you when they was chatting? and where abouts were you at the time?

mixed views on the T-1s from what i can gather over the last year or 2. i have a set of 4 on my valver i can say they are the best tyres i have ever had! cant fault um at all. Just for a change im going for F1s this year - then ill be able to give a better apinion of the T1s.

the wider track has nothing to do with the car - its the williams alloys that give it a slightly wider track. The suspension is the same as the clio 16v, other then the front suspension on the willy uses the same as the renault 19 16v. You wouldnt notice a performance advantage between the 2 i...

Why do you say the williams handles better? Alloys are a matter of preferance i think - some peeps like phase 1s better (like me) then some peeps like phase 2 wheels. (the nissan micra style ones ;)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I...

hey cheers cliokongen, i just looked one up in the haynes manual - but thanks for the effort anyway m8! Do you have any ideas to how much this part is new? im was told 80 fitted, however it only looks like a silly part not sure where the 80quid part comes into it. thanks again.

1300 fitted!! A lot of people may say thats OTT - however i was getting sick of looking for one! There so hard to find, and most people that do have um want top dollar for them. This was just right, with fitting just right - tho i did think hard before making my mind up. You hear people say...

has there been any work done to the head? or is it just a std low mile head? if its just std id say dont worry about it and keep what you got, not worth the messing about.

yeah Glenn is right - its difficult cuz hillpower are doing me a deal. Marcus, can you get new parts cheaper or somethings? im going to need a few bits.

Sorry for the dumb question, but can anyone advise me what this is?and what it looks like? ive been advised to have it replaced when i have my williams engine fitted. However im alittle confused.. thanks guys

No not from Neil, no one youd know mat ;) Cambelt willbe done when fitted. Glenn - i dont have MSN in my new job :( Ill tell you about it @ the next meet.

cheers Ben - i just want to know im doing the right thing:)

id suggest you find a 16v with high miles, and slap in a willy engine,group12 insurance for williams performance! Thats what ive done.

Hi guys, Well today i just bought myself a williams engine - the need for 2ltr power has become to much, so i got me a nice willy 3 lump with 70k miles. Anyway ive been speaking to Nick Hill @ Hillpower about fitting etc.. im thinking of just fitting engine "as is" (ie not having the engine...

Diesel, You maybe best asking over @ CAD - http://www.caraudiodirect.comwww.caraudiodirect.com from what i can gather when asking the same question as you, i was advised they were all show and no go. I dont know how true this is so it maybe worth asking people that already own them or...

I was driving to work yesterday and saw a white plastic bag blowing about in the wind on my way to the M25. Now im not sure what it is with my car and plastic bags as this is the 2nd time this has happend to me.. Anyway - driving along and i see all the cars in front driving over it, watching...

did anyone save these pictures locally? if so can you re-post using the uploader as they dont seem to be showing at the mo - would love to see them :)
