What do people reckon to the filming/dvds then?? Im planning on getting a copy of all 3 dvds as Im hardly on the one I was sent...about 5mins tops out of a hour film!! Some good footage on there though...of everyone else. Ive got number 3 btw...

in test round Rockingham in this weeks Nuts magazine! Leon Cupra R got 1:31 and the Cup 1:32 IIRC seems strange I though the 182 was quicker round the corners and in a straight line....well below 100/110 or so?

Just noticed the profile system is up and running and the 1/4 mile times have been updated....Nice:D. Looks like Craigs sitting on top on the 1/4 mile.... until 2live pulls his finger out and updates his times! ;)

Im wondering if the money I spend on maintaining my williams is as much as the depreciation on a 172/182....Ive been quite tempted to take out a loan a few times and treat myself to a Cup but Im not a great fan of being in debt...what do you reckon...Old car or new?

I cant believe Adi let that beast leave the club..does anyone know whos got it now and how its going?

...has anyone else got used to the performance of their car and no longer thinks it very quick? I think my cars quite nippy but it doesnt seem to have the brutal acceleration of a quick car like a scooby/evo/cossie or even a Type-R or TT, maybe its the lack of a turbo....but Im just left...

Today on my way home from work, got stuck behind a OAP in a new Micra...this is a long straight b road with a farm and a couple of houses on. Anyway I saw nothing was coming the other way so I moved out to overtake..just as I was coming alongside the Micra I notice a car nosing out of a driveway...

Just noticed Nick Reads times on his profile - 5.57 0-60 and 14.05 1/4 mile....now knowing that 2live has run 14.07 with a better launch/ 60ft time than Nick but a slower terminal. This points to the 0-60 time on 2lives or indeed Adam_16vs motor being sub 5.57!!! Which seems feckin quick for a...

Its miles out of date so I thought maybe Id do a thread that everybody can put their latest(and best) times up, and then we could just cut and paste into an e-mail...looking like theres nothing but slow cars on the site at the mo! guess Ill start... Martin. Williams 2 York Dragway 29/08/04...

Anyone, one in the members area doesnt work. Thanks [Edited by Martin. on 05 August 2004 at 10:21am]

I have noticed that some slightly tweaked 172s are doing 1/4 miles at around 14.7-14.9 secs @ 94-95 mph. When you compare this to cammed/modded 2.0 valvers and willys which do 14.4 ish @ 94-95 mph, how can the older style clio get terminal speeds so similar but run 0.3-0.6 secs quicker up the strip?

Was looking through all the reciepts Ive got for my car earlier and they add up to a shocking amount. At a rough guess Id say it was around 5k (including consumables) about the same as I bought the car for. So I was wondering how much other people have spent on their cars and at what point do...

Ive just been reading a thread on Scoobynet where someone had the following opinion. Crail / York etc are a waste of time unless you want to brag down the pub I suppose.... The times are 0.5 - 1 sec faster than the FIA approved POD in my experience... So I was wondering has anyone run...

Quite a few other forums have cars doing this, is no-one on here interested? Heres the line up so far. http://www.britballrun.co.uk/4652/7103.htmlhttp://www.britballrun.co.uk/4652/7103.html No matter how many times they mention it NOT being a race youve got to fear for your license if you...

getting a new clutch cable fitted I have been driving my sisters 1.6 16v Corsa Sport. I guess you only realise how good something is once its gone, after a year of driving nothing but my Williams the Corsa driving experience was a bit of a shock! The ride quality and quietness were a...

I did my first 1/4 miling on Monday and was wondering what technique people use to get a good 60ft time? I was usually sitting at 2.5/3k close to the biting point and letting the clutch out slow until I got moving then nailing it. My times were 60fts werent too bad, usually around high 2.3s with...

Ive been tempted by the 03 172 Cups that are available at dealers for around 10k at the moment. My williams costs a fair whack to run and sometimes think Id be better off with a new car. But I have reservations about getting a loan and being in debt again...I like having money in the bank. Does...

Right my car needs a new inner flange apparently so I need to order one and was wondering if the williams/16v part is the same so I can get hold of the part easier/cheaper. Thanks

on your insurance and who are you with? I think Im being ripped off, been quoted 1100 TPF&T best price. Im 24, 3yrs NCB, 3 points SP60 living in a low crime area.:confused:

company are you with ? I am ringing around for re-newal at the moment but Im having no luck. Im 24 3yrs NCB, SP60 and living in a low risk area. My renewal has come through at 1175 TPF&T. Only 100 cheaper than last year, and Ive rung L/Vic, HIC and Greenlight. Two wouldnt cover me:confused: and...

I have noticed that a noise on my car that has got louder recently. It a squeeling/screetching noise that I originally thought was the power steering. But it is noticable on startup, going round corners and when I drop a gear to revs above 4000 rpm. Any ideas?

My williams has a reciept for a re-con gearbox from a couple of years ago and I didnt think much about it until I tested my car on a private runway recently. At 140 mph my car is revving at around 6700/6800 rpm is this right for a willy box? If the williams top speed is 134 surely it shouldnt...

I need a good bodyshop in the NW that can sort out the rust on my williams and give it a respray for a decent price. Must be quality job as I dont want the rust coming through in 6 months. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

... for free! recently had the rear of my car lowered and havent been happy with the handling since, so I played around with the ride on my coilovers. Not done it before as I though I would make the car worse but I softened the front off by a couple of turns. The car seems to lean more in...

....do you think your car handles better since you lowered it? I have recently had the rear of my car lowered to match the front which is -35mm, the car now seems much more nervous/twitchy round high speed corners and possibly understeers slightly more on low speed corners. I have not had the...

I got a set of Williams wheels I need to get round to taking to be refurbed but I was wondering if I might be better getting them done silver instead of gold as a lot of 16v owners prefer the wheels in silver. Opinions?

Im having a problem with my rear brakes locking up every time I apply hard/ish braking, Ive had the rear lowered recently and I presume that the valve thing hasnt been adjusted and my brakes think Ive got 3 passengers in the back, is this right? Is it easy to adjust? I need to sort this, my car...

I am getting some new front discs for my williams and need to decide between these. http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/products/department.asp?deptid=102http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/products/department.asp?deptid=102 Which Tarox ones 40 groove or drilled/grooved?

I am looking to get some new track rod ends, full set of suspension bushes and suspension top mounts. My local reno garage just has a computer with a diagram of the suspension components no named items. So I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the part no for the above items so I can...

In a few weeks I will have enough cash to treat myself to Headwork and fast road cams on my Williams, but the question is where do I go for the work? Also I could stretch to a unichip or similar but is it worth the (600 pounds) money? Hillpower/ BB / K-tec seems to be the main choices, GDI...
