Hey Willy, I had my coilovers fitted by Nick Hill.... so does this mean my car is being ruined by a forum educated idiot or vastly improved by an experienced race/road engineer?:p
Your starts seem to be very good @ the Pod Nick, surprised you didnt run quicker...was it the infamous Pod headwind or did you tweak the car before York?

35mm on the front and 30 mm at the back on Gaz Coilovers btw.
What do you prefer about the hybrid Smokey?? Ive had my williams a while now and love the way it drives but although Ive been on plenty of drives etc with 172/182s I ve never actually got behind the wheels of one.....the 172s look a bit soggy round the corners surely the 182 has put that right?
Personally Id sell the rt, is the extra cost of insuring two cars worth the benefit of keeping the mileage on your valver down.? I can see your point of view though as you could be pretty extreme with your 16v if it was just going to be a weekend/fun car...hmm Do you know how much insurance will...
Snufty you know I was talking about normal 1.8s ...lol That beast is one of a kind had ££££ spent on it, I dont know of any other valver running close to its times. Id be intersted to see what he does at the actual strip..should be rapid though!

Stu8v-The only valvers that run 14s are ones with the williams f7r engine, this alone will get you into the high 14s or even mid 14s if the engine is tweaked (rebuilt/chipped) to get below 14.4 cams are required to get down to 14.1/14.2 ..these cars are also either totally stripped or have back...
a sad b*****d for either being on this website or going to meets/events with the club??
Most people in my family and at work think me Im a pretty sad for going to various events with people off here....Is it just me?:oops:
York use the same timing equipment as the pod IIRC and a few members off here have been to both and run similar times...Adams_16v and 2live spring to mind.....
true mate, Id never take my car to some random garage you could quite easily get stiched up....Ive rung /been to Hillpower before and Ive always found him to be very helpfull, give him a ring...think hes closed until new year now though.
With a terminal that quick Nick youll definatley get into the 13s sooner....or later. IMO once you get 15s on there, youll be a into 13s straight away!
Oh and I wonder how quick the yellow beast will be once its got it t/bs?? Gotta be in the 13s easily....
Fair enough, puts into perspective how quick a few of the clios on here are I suppose....I would expect to get raped by a grale especially from standing...cant wait to get my car running properly!
No disrespect Stu but your 1/4 mile times seem pretty slow... I know the 4wd saps a bit of power but Id expect the amazing traction off the line to more than even this out. Compare the times to....

I have to agree Jons car is very quick but its even quicker in his hands....he gets low/dead 2.2 60 ft times every time at the 1/4 mile but Ive never got better than a 2.30! Would be interesting to see Nick and Jons cars go head to head, hell I might come down to watch...and if my car is sorted...
