An F7 engine of similar spec will always look better than that thing :rolleyes:

You can read them but can't reply unless you're a paid member ;)

^^I disagree with you a bit on that, once R888's are below the legal tread there's still plenty of life left in them for track days. 1 pair I've got on mine were bought at just legal tread & I've done 4 track days on them and about to do 1 more in a week or so. I'd say that it's well worth...

Only other thing to suggest is keep an eye out for used R888's etc on here, ebay & the motorsports parts section of PH classifieds as you can get some epic bargains ;)

For you the only tricky part will be the wiring for whatever management you use. The manifold for the 172 is readily available off the shelf as well

Is it actually a williams though? The number on the ID plate under the bonnet will reveal the truth

Admittedly I posted before looking at the advert :o lol! But to the OP don't be put off by cat C & D write offs straight away, the important thing to think of is when the write off occurred within the cars life, if it happened early on in it's life be wary as the threshold in ££'s for it to be...

I had a dented rear quarter panel on my valver in 2008 & the insurance assessor said it's a Cat C write off as the repair cost exceeded a certain percentage of the book price of the car

Cat C & D write off's don't mean jack s**t on these cars nowadays, all the ratings represent is that the cost of repair (ie the quote obtained to fix it) crosses a certain percentage of the book value of the car, and since the book prices of them are so low due to their age an insurance company...

I'd say it's safe to assume it's manual steering as I used parts from a 1.2 RL to convert my valver to manual steering

The throttle body needs to be taken apart & cleaned up as they do get clogged up with crap over time, same for the throttle cable

I've had no experience of the mk3 clios so can't say much but out of those I'd personally feel that the megane would be the better choice

I've been to places that make the shittiest parts of Notts look like paradise in comparison lol, the whole country is a shithole, we just have rather a lot of decent places that sort of make up for it....a bit. Bit of an update on the damage for those interested, last we heard from the repair...

It would seem that you haven't seen the thread where CS members found someones missing dog ;)

I've got a centre section silencer from a megane 225 fitted to my valver, I'm pretty confident that's unique :rasp:

FLOL!

There's only 1 person who can answer that question Driving into the rear quarter of the car to induce a spin ;) the clio hit the left rear wheel making her car spin & hit the kerb, I've not seen the car myself so no idea what's damaged & nor has she as the car got picked up there & then by...

Doing some gooling on the suject of this pic bought me here, so maybe someone on here might be able to explain what happened here

Straight from the site http://www.519automotive.co.uk/ ;)

type d is green ;)

Hoping the lovely folks on here can help track down the scumbag that decided it'd be a good idea to PIT manoeuvre my mates Mrs off the road this evening & then do a runner :mad: It happened around 22.45 on Mansfield Road in the Redhill area of Arnold, Nottingham & from her description the car...

If I had the money I'd buy it off you for £500 :p

Glad to hear you've got a decent settlement so quickly but for the sake of £400 surely it's worth having the car back for all the spares you'll ever want/need, especially since you're getting another 1 of the same car. How much more are you getting than what you paid for the car?

The insurance company will be doing this as it will be quicker & cheaper for them to just pay out instead of having to go through the motions of fixing it as it takes time & time = money, so really they're doing it to keep costs & ultimately our premiums down - probably not :rolleyes: but I'm an...

Had this damage to mine when the rear axle of a Corsa hit me. After my excess & the cost of buying the car back were deducted from the settlement figure I got £1,200 & it cost me £600 to get it fixed :rasp: That £600 came in bloody handy as 2 months after I got it fixed the clutch died so I...

Tell them you want to keep the car, that's the easiest way. All they'll do then is pay you a different amount of money

Classic case of insurance company being lazy, they cba to deal with it basically as it's easier for them to just pay you off than it is to go through the motions of paying to have it fixed. Tell them you want to keep the car and they'll just pay you accordingly, leaving you to go get it fixed...

Very true that, remember seeing a williams being driven by an instructor at Rockingham last year & it was seriously showing up 911's, M3's Caterham etc, was easily the fastest car on track when the instructor was behind the wheel

Tyres & brakes not much point spending money on anything else if it's your 1st track day, do those & see how you get on. Then if you fancy doing more you'll have a better idea of what to spend money on next ;)
