Yep lol! I dont take much notice in your s**tty "Purple chav mobils" either Tbh ;) ;)
Theres less unsprung weight using no discs or calipers.. genius TBH ;)
The beauty of evil race car split rims means the 13's clear (just!!!) the standard valver brakes
and aye still on for the meet
I fitted my light weight 13" Mad'in spilts on the front and removed my rollcage... Just to try and get abit more pace out the Hybrid before it comes to bits for the bits i need for the 5iams
It started raining 10 minutes before i had them both on, so can't really tell if its improved pace...
^LOL^ Vauxhalls in The illiams thread makes Winston sad ;)
I did not set out to get the car in a magazine... It was just a stroke of luck that Simon Jackson was the editor at the time and stumbled across the car at FCS. He understood what the car was about which showed in an excellent write up...
Then it all went abit stale and everything sat doing nothing, I was busy doing other things to other cars.... Then my ex found out Stromba had a rust free Williams 1 shell, which i ended up swapping for the race engine, then i needed the space to build that car so illy had to go..... broke my...
The day after the photoshoot I took the engine and gearbox out as they had already been sold at FCS.. just had to use the car for the shoot first, so I left the engine less illy sitting on my nans drive
Next step for The illiams was to turn into a real track car now... I had had my fun...
At FCS the car was carded by the editor of PFC magazine... get in :).. so the photoshoot flowed at disused sugar factory
Few pics i took at the shoot
The rest of my pics http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h175/76b...20cars%20shoot/
Lucky for me I got the JR coilvers back from my past projects for the bargain price of £40... At long last lowness
Showing F0xy what low is ;)
at this time I fitted a side exit exhaust.. no pics but here is a video :)...
I took illy to the pod to get some times best of the day was 14.6 @ 95mph... was abit unhappy with that
photoshoot with the rusty steels.. very ill ;)
At this point it was crying out to be lowered... A photoshop comfirmed this fact lol
Now its wheel time again... I needed something ratty but super light weight, I found these BBS RS on ebay and just had to have them
They needed the centres bored out from 57.1 - 60.1... I sent them away to be done but they broke the machine lol, so i used a flip wheel to do it lol...
The Williams was starting to look rather ill and ratty... I got my stanley blade out and the illiams was born lol
The stenciled bonnet and the bees nest as Ali called it lol
Refitted the Williams tailgate to be "illiams'd"
In order to save more weight... I removed the Aux fuel...
I painted some steels i had matt black
and fitted my fibre glass shell bonnet from my black hybrid
Looking very **** lol
I removed all the sound deadening as the Williams has much more than a valver.. its a nice weight saver
I found out King Stromba was breaking a Williams 2, so i got intouch with him and to cut a long story short I bought the hole car from him ish (minus interior, dash, wheels) and drove it back home... with the agreement to bring him back the brakes, body panels and any other parts from the...
After the RSi-brid I said to my self i was done with Clios for good... in the time between i had owned a BMW E30 325i, VW Caddy 1.6D & 2x VW Mk1 Golf 1.1's but they just didn't have the pace or handling of the Clios and i wanted a car i could take on track
A cheap Ph1 black 16V came up cheap on...
Theres fast 16v engines and slow 16v engines... this was a sloooooow one.... Plus i hate the gutless below 4k F7P tbh
The F3P is like a mini Williams engine, very torquey and it makes close to the same torque as F7P does.. the F3P is a lighter engine so the idea was it would make it handle...
