Thanks guys :)
I'm going to be exploring the upper levels of this car for some time to come I think...
I don't really race on the public highway, but let's jut say it is happy keeping up with some cars in the six figure price range now ;)
Just thought I would update you guys as I have now had the Hill Power engine fitted, with different cams, by danny at 519 Automotive. he tweaked some other stuff too. Will write a 519 review on other thread soon.

All I can say is: fuking hell.
I measured the Oreca at 93 db (cant remember if it was dba or dbc) at about 5k revs, so it is under, but as I say I've had a fair few complaints about it when just normal driving.
I've been to Goodwood with another mate in a Williams, on a Pistonheads morning run once :) This was taken there...
Ahh yes, I have seen you many times :) I always wondered if you'd be on here along with a couple of other RS Clio's I see occasionally! I will try and remember to flash next time. That bloody early morning commute is total crap, especially in a car like mine.
Yes :) Car looks a mess currently though, loads of winter grime and obviously I never drive fast through there, though you'll no doubt be able to hear the glorious ITB's still ;)
In a couple of weeks I'll be using a different Williams 1 to work and not this one. Not as tidy as this one but I...
What's been done to it is not un-doable.
Even with diagnosing a poorly bottom end, its a mental road machine. The level of grip with reasonably sticky R1R tyres and the mechanical LSD sometimes just blows me away. It's quieter now than it was but the pops, bangs and crackles are amazingly...
Same with mine, and you know how low/solid mine is set up to be. Was on hit tyres too. Next year I will have some specialist snow ones on my spare set of Willy alloys, or I may just leave the R1R's on ;)
:D Thanks!
Hehe, no sorry, I can't put anyone else through the agony. It's my burden to carry ;)
Have they leaked? Lol, they went bck to AVO 4 times in the first year.
The AST's have helped them a lot. For some reason these ones felt wobbly with OE top mounts, now they are hardcore and...
Cheers :)
It's not the best and the winter has taken a big toll on poor 0217's bodywork :(
Add to that a couple of drunk lads ripped the passenger wing mirror off and smashed it into the car too, it needs the dent removing and wing mirror bits repainting. The rear bumper has melted from the...
This is my long term project and, currently, my daily hack as well.
It currently is specced thus:
Powerplant:
Jenvey 45mm ITB's
2225 Cat cams & Verniers
13 Row Oil Cooler
Walbro uprated fuel pump
APD Megane 714 ported head
Supersprint manifold
Oreca Grp N straight through exhaust...
Great little car for sure. Future collectable I reckon.
My car handled the snow much better than most other cars, judging from the 7 hour traffic jam I was in and seeing the hard time others were having to move. I think as they are so light it makes it easier. I saw bigger cars sliding...
have a chat with Leighanne over on Williams Clio. She works at XSport and has been messing about with carbon/fibre/kevlar body parts lately:

looking good still!
:D
I will be in Sholing this weekend helping do up a Williams 2. My ITB'd Williams 1 will be there ferrying tools :) Honk if you see it!

Not sure if this has been posted already recently...
