Rob - this guy was putting the other people on the track at un-necessary risk. How does he have talent??? He just rolled the feckin thing!!!! Rhys

If thats the one where the guy rolls the white lancer, he was driving like a feckin prick. It looks like a track day where I thought undertaking people at speed was generally frowned upon. Deserved to roll it, just lucky he didnt take anyone else out at the same time :@

Whats that ride at Alton Towers that drops you very quickly into a hole in the ground? Thats quite rapid... Rhys

How far down there is it? Might take the car down. I presume he can do a de-cat?! Rhys

What are you going down there for, Craggy? Im interested in talking to Nick Hill about whether he could thoroughly check over the Willy and get it running as it should... Rhys

Cupstar - any chance of turning the Caps Lock off.....it makes it look like youre shouting everything you write!!! Rhys

Adi - I will be doing. I get paid on Thursday and have Friday off work, so Im off down to Ascar (http://www.exhaustsuk.comwww.exhaustsuk.com) in Sheffield to get it sorted out. 1st gear gets to the limiter soon enough, but 2nd, 3rd & 4th seem to take too long. Certainly doesnt get there quick...

I reckon that T.Ferrino bloke has spotted the problem. The bad noises are certainly coming from the cat area (the cork in a tin rattling noise) and the car does feel a bit strangled, especially at high revs. I suppose if there are bits of dead cat (ho ho) blocking up the exhaust system, the...

"it just flies into the limiter "....hmmmm, definitely something up with mine! No flying to limiter in sight :@.

Adrian Flux quoted me £1700 for the Williams!!! 26, 5 years NCB, 8 years driving. Ridiculous!

13.2 in my 172 and I have the ticket to prove it.... ;) Actually, the timing gear fecked up and gave me a reaction time of 3.5 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 13.2 (narrowly loosing to an 800bhp Plymouth dragster!) Other than that, 15.6 was my best run in the 172. Rhys

Thanks Ben. Ill check it out. Rhys

T.Ferrino - Ive just been out for a drive to have a listen to the noises again, and I reckon your description of a knackered cat sounds just right..."Cork in a tin can" is just the noise its making. Right sort of area for it too. Ah well, I didnt want a cat anyway :devilish:. Rhys

Thanks for the replies all. T.Ferrinos descriptions are sounding about right. Will get it checked out asap. Thanks, Rhys

Nope, not chipped as far as I know. The car is completely standard. Will get the exhaust all checked out asap though Rhys

Could do, but I might loose deliberately to make my Willy look faster. Damn! Cunning plan foiled! Rhys

Paddy, really..... :o The temp gauge was at 80 on the way back from work in heavy traffic so maybe Im just being paranoid. Im thinking loose connection rather than hole as there is an accompanying rattle. Paul - Ill see what Ascar have to say about replacement parts if needed, then Ill get...

Hey, Scudetto, didnt you know...they dont do the 6k safety check anymore. Your cars 1st service is at 18k. ;) Cretins!

Will do. Oh yes, can anyone tell where the oil temperature gague should be? It only seems to be running at 60c, which look a bit low.....anyone?! Rhys

After my run ins with Craggy on Saturday night, Im a bit concerned that the car isnt running properly. Ive got rattling exhaust noises coming from under the car (seems to be from near the front) and (as best I can describe it) a "whoosing" or "blowing" noise. It is also quite "boomy" under...

You could try http://www.andyspares.co.ukwww.andyspares.co.uk They do them for £51.70 a pair inc. VAT. Rhys

Well, Ive already said it isnt running okay. It needs to go back to have the exhaust system looked at as it is making nasty blowing noises (which was supposed to have been fixed). It should be RRd soon so I will be able to see if there is anything untoward power wise. Also remember that Im not...

Boths 16.1 seconds is that supposed to be? That sounds about right. Would also like to say in defense of Williams in general that mine is making awful exhaust noises right through the rev range from somewhere near the manifold or downpipe and needs to go back to the garage. Oh yeah, its also a...

I wouldnt be lying if I said that I coud hear the final couple of thousand revs of the VTS and see it pull on me at the same time. It really does scream where the Willy roars! Just gotta have some better seat in that VTS, craggy.... ;) Where are those vids then?

Although I must say that Craggy has a brutal gear change action which I bet helps. Im not that great at matching revs to gear changes...I was rubbish at it even with a gear change light! Rhys

Nope....the VTS pulled ahead every time. Not by as much as Craggys Willy used to beat my 172, but it was definitely ahead. The Willy is totally standard with 81000 miles on the clock. My Williams isnt as quick as Craggys, but it also still has a Cat on it, standard chip and standard exhaust...

Craggy, when do you want that race....?! Rhys

Screen price of £6000. Not a huge amount around any more. There was the one that CarlosTheJackal (forum member, not arch criminal) is going to look at near Leeds, but one was availble in Chesterfield in very good condition despite the relatively high mileage. It was clearly looked after, only...

I reckon that the Willy has the better handling, and the 205 the better steering feeling (although the 205 has no PAS so that might account for it). However, just been out for another run and am just gobsmacked with the Willys handling. To be honest, the Williams feels better put together...

Is that the one in Leeds? Its been advertised for sale since at least November 2002. Make sure you check it over well. Price sounds about right though. Oh yeah, check it has ABS as I didnt think it came on the 2 as standard.... Rhys
