i dont know if anyone remebers but i said it could be possible to change the oil by taking the grill out and sliding your hand through the gap between bumper and bonnet, well after 6k since the last service it worked a treat, full oil change took me 20 mins (like it should do!)
and i have got...
drop the sub frame, slide the clutch out, lose the skin off your knuckles, £60 for the clutch (GSF) and £100 for the poor sod who has got to fit it (its a days work)
at least i think this is how they do it, i had two garages offer to do it for a days labour, save £350 and buy some gunk and...
do you know about GSF? very cheap renault parts, normaly the same syuff as you buy from renault, they are on-line www.andyspares.com or somthing like that
what ever you do dont go through the insurance it will proably be written off, the repair i did cost me £400-£500 and the quotes for the insurance for the repair were £3000-£3500 so it will be written off
i did a similar repair on a 16v, basiclay a slight pull and a new crossmember and rad, i managed to repair the bumper, andything plastic is suprisinly easy to repair when your creative with fibreglass and a few liters of filler,
i priced a new 16v bumper a year ago and it was £200+VAT but...

to protect my investment when its finished is there a way of baffling the sump so i dont have to worry about the oil sloping to one side in a fast corner?
i was told about the inlet manifold being cut in half, its shaped like a snails shell so it would be difficult to access, i wasnt suggesting the head itself be chopped up,
as far as the slow drive to the rolling road im hopeing this could be a long slow drive to hill power where the chip can...
where from and how much, these are the one i was talking about, i want a straight through one box system without the cat, but is it going to be riciclously loud, i dont like loud exhausts i think they are a bit sad and rude, i want maximum power
and ben, nick and anyone else wants to guess at what power it will make with the above done? im not expecting miricals but i would like to see a useable increase
so ben could happily settle for the the head and minifolds, and not worry about the flywheel? how hard is it to get the fly wheel off with the engine insitu? if its just valves, valve springs, cams and porting etc it wont be mega hard or expensive will it?
also what is your method of porting...
Nick your spec is what im looking for, im guessing that stage 2 hill power is ported manifolds and head, hotter cams (what cams are they?) and the chip, this i will do whatever, as far as verniers im not sure wather they are worth the £140 (im on a tight budget remember) but im not sure if they...
youve got a deal £1395 fitted,
i understand what your saying, im still most keen on sticking with the 1800 and getting it absolutly perfect albeit without neck snapping power, what money would you set aside for the re-build? without the inital buying of the engine.
ive enlisted bens skills...
its a sad fact that alot of williams will have been clocked, there is nothing other then knowing the owner from new that i would believe, everything else in terms of history is avalible at a small cost, this will be escecialy true with the williams, the same car with the same condition might...
also captain,
have you viewed my thread on the tuning area, "internal mods to F7P"? would appreciate your views if you could spare a few minutes, im still not entirely sure what route to take
