I'm hoping to do the Williams this weekend - i have just got some fk1000p for winter protection. I know that once its cleaned though, it'll look horrible by the time i'm done, so disheartening!

You know part number of the yellow ones?

Its had a had a clutch about 5000 miles ago, when the box was fully refurbished, so i doubt it'll be the clutch, was replaced for a sachs clutch too. I will be changing them back, but they are at work at the time of taking the photo's, i agree they don't look right!

Yesterday i gave the williams a good first clean. Washed with Dodo Supernatural, Lime Primed, a layer of White Diamond and a layer of Dodo Supernatural wax. Trims were in a bad state when i bought it, gave it a good covering of peanut butter and that greatly helped bring them back up to...

So far, i prefer it. Its brilliant to drive, even on a day to day basis at the moment. The only problem is the very heavy cable clutch, the bite is at the very bottom of the pedal, so is taking some getting use to!

Yes, i did notice that whilst cleaning it actually, will need to get it looked at properly.

Hankook V12 Evo's, very little extra but one of the better tyres on the market. I have T1-R's on the williams, and want to get them changed ASAP.

Renault have infuriated me today, ordered 5 parts in total, 2 have arrived and one of them is wrong. They have sent one scraper seal and no more seals and the rear boot trim they have managed to send a ph2 one, Grrr!!

Olivers Mount is a great place, its maybe a place for spring/summer though rather than depths of winter! How about another meet at Woodcocks, then go for a bit of a roadtrip around the countryside? Or how about go-karting here http://www.gridlineracing.com/

I might have some of the Williams to add in here sometime soon :)

Fiesta has a 1.6 Zetec in it, its on Shawspeed Cams & Omex management.

I am in the process of choosing a location for a meet atm.. hold your horses :) Unless someone can think of somewhere altnernative to Pride of Lincoln for a change.

Good photos. That blue zs' is one of my best friends, very quick little car, was as quick as my old cup on track, albeit he is a better driver than me. I think he spent the latter half of the day enjoying the rain in semi slicks, sideways!!

Service parts all ordered & a ITG filter. Mallory Park booked on 28th September too! :D

The joys of being in the trade and being on good terms with the bloke who does it, i suppose!

Had all the dents taken out this morning, there was one down near the filler cap, that was a proper pain in the arse to get out. Had 4 in total removed, for £30 so all in all pretty cheap :)

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 Did you sort out a y0zza in the end Neil?

Cheers Lee, yeah so far seems a good'un. Fitted new indicator units tonight and whilst they are tons better, they make the headlamps look really dull. Tempted to get headlamps to make it look a bit fresher :)

I am never truly happy with any car, they nearly all have there flaws and quirks. My main aim is to get it looking presentable and getting it running correctly. I have had a look on autodata today regarding timing belts, it lists it as a 5hr job and advises to change aux belt and pulley at the...

All window mouldings/seals are ordered, along with a new strip for the bottom of the boot.

Get a good one, and it shouldnt cost anymore than a 1*2 imo.

Re: The Big Manchester Meet... I will speak to the other half about this, see if she is up for it. Fancy stretching the Williams' legs over the peak district :)

I think you might be able to mount one in the front and one in the middle, may aswell make it 4wd whilst your at it, or is that maybe a step too far.

I'm with Daz on this one, i also think it is a deceptively lightweight engine.

I am very impressed with the way it drives compared to the cup. The handling is very crisp, id say it probably handles a tad better than the cup, and the cup was on H&R coilovers properly set up. You can feel absolutely everything that the front wheels are doing, its a much rawer driving...

Very nice picture mike, lovely scenery. I like :)

You wouldn't look back if you did buy one.

Yeah, i presumed it was right as it goes up and down ok from the passenger switch, it'll probably have to go through a few pre-historic relays etc before the signal gets there, its no fibre optic technology!

Jonni, I forgot to add, with it being a Williams 1, it doesn't have a sunroof, thankfully! :) Are the passenger side window notoriously slow from the drivers switch? I know it's very old technology now, but just wondered!
