I actually think that looks even more awsome than the standard Veee If any one ever tells you theres a new Williams coming or they should make one tell them to shut up and stop talking rubbish! Some one posted here the other day that they were told there was gonna be a 182 williams. The...

Or a Lotus Carlton, Lotus Esprit V8 turbo, R34 GT-R V-Spec, Supra twin turbo, Ford RS 200 (ugly as sin but closest thing to road going rally car) Clio Dimma Cosworth (you know you all loved it) New Poker V10 thingy, F40 (unbelievable) Sierra Cosworth (Rouse spec - 400+ bhp from standard - best...

Depends if your talking what I want or what I can get? Im getting a Saphire Cossie in 2 months, I want an Escort Cossie or a Mitsi Evo. I dream of a Mclaren F1

Exactly how young are you? I think you should get what ever you want not what other people say! Most people on here would be biast towards Clios funny enough!!

Been offered something else for reasonable money. You lot wont like it but its 260bhp rwd and well cheap!! Sahpire Cossie for £2,500, drove it a few months back and loved it.

Id never suggest that hed pull a fast one, bought things from him before and his service is second to none. Just if the cars smashed up and the engine wont start then how would he or any one know until I have it fitted.

Why would they make a Williams when Renault have no affiliation with the Williams team any more? Thats all the Clio Willy was about !! Williams didnt even touch the bloody car! You should tell your friend to stop talking out their backside, I have a few friends that constantly lie about...

If I go GTT Ill go to Torsion Tuning Ive already spoken to them and the price is reasonable and they are very helpfull. If I go Williams then Ill get mates to help me out, dont see the point paying a good few hundred quid for a simple swap. I think Infinicar may have a couple of willy...

Not to mention you cant bonk in sculptured seats and it wont be nice on a cold bare metal rear!

I could prob get a Williams lump fitted for peanuts, if my mates can get a cali turbo engine in a nova and a cali 2.5 v6 in a mk2 astra then they can do an F7 swap easily. Which could increase the budget to mod it. Potentially. Cause I cant make my damn mind up now.

Ok so what mods would make a Willy lump EVEN better? Exhaust and chip or would I need to go further and get head and cams? Still dunno why you sold your willy lump neil - you should have wacked it in your valver.

Should imagine 120 bhp is max power, without a turbo it would be a sh/t bag. Ive PMd Ben for his advice as well in the matter, hes usually helpful!

Malice - is yours a GTT? I heard it was a 1.7t from a Volvo? Im not looking for maximum power at all. Just interested in a lightly modded engine that can happily make me forget my valver for now. Then in the future I can tweak it till my heart and pockets content! Where you from any way?

Is a thought that has crossed my mind plenty of times. £2k could in theory see me with 170+ bhp but then when would the power come in? It already is too far up the rev range for my liking. Has any one actually ever had head, cams, chi, boost valve etc and what ever else done ?? From my...

John from TT has a T3 360 degree thrust bearing on his. Said theres hardly any noticable additional lag over standard T2. But then it cost a hell of a lot of money. Craig - have you had the conversion or are you in the process of getting the parts together?

I WILL make every effort to go out in a 2.0 before making my mind up as it would be big regrets going as far as a GTT conversion then realising Id of prefered the 2.0! Im at work mate so cant meet up! Only ever really available evenings and Sundays at the mo.

IIRC Steves got a T28 and charge cooler and it goes nicely! Didnt you say it was in need of a re-build when you showed me it in Southend though? Reckon your in for a treat when you get it back even better! Could you PM me with what your having done and a rough cost cause I nearly have the...

He he - hes already got one!! GTT. Loverly motor. You need to change your profile Steve!

I always find it funny how any one with a n/a engine gags for a d/v where as people with them take them for granted.

Glenn - what did you think of Jamies 2.0, could you really feel the difference over a 16v? I know Steves (Diamond Geezers) GTT was a dramatic improvment with smallish mods.

Im in Chadwell St Mary just next to Grays. As for a Willy lump with Cams and head work Id need a good chip to get the best and that again would put it right out of my price range, that would prob double what a strait swap would cost.

Wont be telling the insurance Im with, Ill just keep it insured until I can find some one else to cover me. Should all co-inside that if and when I get it done my policy will be up for re-newall so can change without sacrificing any NCB. Shouldnt be too bad, a GTT only works out a little more...

I will prob only get £2k including the conversion. So a grand on modding/re-building it. Neil - I been in a Clio GTT but not a 2.0 so unless I get out in one and think its as good then Im still leaning to the turbo. Also what happens when I get the 2.0 conversion and then get bored with it...

Just secured the first grand towards my proposed engine conversion :D (thanks to Dad) Should have doubled it by August hopefully, not bad considering I pay nearly all of my wages on loans and credit cards!! Unless Ben convinces me that his 16v mods can compare to a 180+ bhp GTT conversion...

Most insurance underwriters are tight with their policies, they will prob not cover some one if they believe they are too high a risk. Also most underwriters dont only specialise in one typre of risk, they will cover motor, marine, property, household etc etc etc. So if they lose on on...

Hill house hammond

I was 18 when I got my RT - that was fully comp and I was covered third party on other vehicles. Always used to drive parents cars and mates cars. Even got pulled by "young William" in a mates car and they were happy with it. Just make sure they cover you before you jump in and crash!

What about the Fiesta - thats always been Fiesta? Same situation as the Clio really - why change it when it works.

Ah the beauty of 205mm wide tyres!! I have never lost it in a bend any where ever. Perhaps I just know when Im giving it too much!

I think the name Clio has become to bankable for Renault to drop it. I know its prob the oldest name on their books at the moment but fact is, its the car that accounts for the majority of their sales. To change the name could cost them in the short term. I remember when Ford changed the...
