Id say it was mate, picks up and gos through the rev range alot better than the valver engine id say and always seems to have alot more......No more waiting for or dropping a gear to hit 4k as it seems to be good from 2k onwards.....My old 1.8 seemed to get 70/80mph pretty fast then afetr that...
I know they are big mate but they do fill the arches and seem to go well with the 60mm drop!!!
Was out in it for a while tonight and im still pretty happy with the performance from rolling at say 20mph.....Will probably be a killer from standing though i guess!!!
Tom i was gonna sell the car a few months back until the gearbox went tits up and im now thinking that was the best thing that could have happened as would have regretted it......Im lovin it even more now the 2.0s in, its a totally different drive!!!
Dunno about your old one but mines a b**ch...
f**kabout, that is expensive for 16s and a little more than iv got spare at the mo!!!
Joel i couldnt deck it anymore really mate......Its already down 60mm!!!
Good idea mate and good if you want a project but id say sell up and buy a williams or buy a valver then 2.0 it!!!
Youl get the bolder looks that way too!!!
Iv always thought the only straight forward conversion for the smaller 1.2s and 1.4s was to gtt it otherwise theres alot of work needed!!!
Cat TeamThink did the conversion for me and i was lucky as they had a 45k williams engine ready for me too so a post on here in the wanted section and a few days later id found the engine!!!
Runs soo much smoother than my old valver lump......Normal driving and it still feels...
Think its lots of light reflecting more than anything mate....But like i said quick 5 minute photos!!!
Il take some better ones when i find some new rims!!!
Right as some of you know i recently exchanged my 1.8 16v lump for a williams lump and finally got to give it a quick once over tonight after havin it for a week and abit but not getting to use it due to holiday so thought id take some new pics aswell!!!
Going wheel hunting the weekend so...
17s mate......I dont want to sell them but will when i get my new rims, not sure what theyl be now though!!!
Check out my other thread for some better pics!!!
Im goin to purchase some new 15s the weekend and am very intrested in a few sets of wheels but really would like to see my personal favs on the car first before i commit so could a photoshop whiz please photoshop these on my car please?
Thanks in advance

Stick it in redline, fastcar etc mate........your sure to find someone whol give a good price there!!!
As for price depends on the year, milage, mechanical condition, how much youve spent on it really to gauge a good asking price, is it a fully modded car or just part i.e is it just the...
Yes its garaged 24/7, whilst i was on holiday last week my dad went out to start it up a few times and said it was good!!!
Was just abit worried that i should be drivin it abit more......The only time i ever get to drive it is at the weekends and i havnt even done that this one!!!
For long periods of time!!!
Is this bad for the car? I mean its keeping the milage right down but it just doesnt seem to move!!!
Am i to expect problems when i do drive it because it bein stationary for long periods of time........Im thinking i should maybe make the effort to start takin it...
The difference is low down mate......Standings are horrible......The ride is bumpy specially if the cars low id say from 60 onwards it pulls pretty much how should with 15s or 16s though!!!
Adamf your right mate 1.8 16v clio v 1.6 16v pug gti, the clios not in the same league but 2.0 16v clio v 1.6 16v pug its the otherway round even with big ass 17s......Its been tried and tested!!!:D
As adams_16v as stated though he wants the more reliable car which doesnt break every 5 mins...
