Not sure of exact details but think OZ have new ones, new version of superturismo (as fitted to v6) called a superturismo GT and a nice light forged jobby called forgee or something. Check their website out. Both would personalise your v6 from the others.
Yeah my valver has never let me down but changing things for good quality parts before the car breaks down is advisable. And you get what you pay for. OE disks can be got for 20 quid or so, over a 100 quid for good tarox but they are better.
Ebay and here are good sources for parts. Only...
Yeah think the FK for mk2 have adjustment but not all makes may have. And my mk1 FKs dont so worth knowing depening on what brand you go for.
Have you cleaned yours since being fitted. Did mine the other day to get rid of all salt etc and as the helper spring is smaller, can get small stones...
Yeah Bens head work sounds good and very competitively priced. Gonna use him myself soon. Bondy on here can also supply the cams cheap, about £130 I think for fast road.
If you look at this as the ideal opportunity to get such work done, you will save loads on labour costs. And you will be...
Remember fitting costs and also teh need for camber adjustment bolts unless provision for adjustment on coilover itself.
Got my FK Automotives from a place called Performance Driven in Taunton and they offered free fitting. May still offer this. They also came with lifetime guarantee as...
Think someone is selling one willy wheel on ebay. Good for a spare and also means that you could send a wheel away at a time to get refurbed if nowhere local and not be disadvantaged by it. Only problem with this is the fact that postage may cost more and possibility of colour match problems...
Thing with the valver is its like a city car at low revs and can be driven slowly, or you can rag it in higher gears where things turn very rapid.
Id check teh car you just saw again if the condition was ok. Viper will be an asset as would stainless exhaust (if it is) and oz wheels in 15"...
Found Ultimate to make no difference and Optimax does. Feels better and get more MPG with optimax.
Dont run it all the time though, usually alternate between optimax tank full then normal shell tank full.
My FK Automotive ones have helper springs so guess they work in a two stage way with one spring first then the other. Either way handling and cornering have improved but ride quality is a bit harsher but that is down to being stiffer. Didnt lower by much as I dont think this improves things...
Use a voucher out the tabloid papers, sun etc to get it at that price. Probably in todays as there is a motors section.
Semi Synthetic Duckhams QXR is 15 quid inc filter and labour. Non synthetic a tenner. Only problem is they dont always have your filter so have to get it. Might be best...
Just to through a spanner in the works. Has anyone ever tried using different tyres on front to those on rear?
In most disciplines for handling purposes, this is the norm as they do different jobs. Fronts have to steer for example where as the rears dont. So tread design etc should be based...
Simon. CDA is mounted with cold air intake at rear and that uses the piping that came with kit running down and then facing forward. It works but may use the stuff demon tweeks sell in the motorsport catalogue which is piping (need more) and a scoop to position behind teh bumper somewhere...
Cant see how it attaches to the throttle body. I guess it directly fits rather than the Viper/CDA that requires adaptor plate with lip on to use silicon hose to attach IK to throttle body.
Would be worth telling them that best way to fit in a Willy/16v is with battery moved forward nearer headlight and positioned like:

back to subject, this on autotrader seems a better buy and possible room to negotiate:

To me I think the magnex 3 inch tailpipe just looks right popping out under the bumper. OE one just seems to not fit as well when you compare. Cleans up nicer too and should last ages. Just my opinion.

Again might be the right tyre but youd best check against your tyre sidewall to try and make sure one is correct.
Hopefully stillavailable and probably worth getting a...
Ben - Not sure if this answers your Q but found this using google:

Not sure if your tyre is on here. Just search the net and hopefully you will find. Alternatively speak to...

Is this article about the same michelin tyre, if so they state that it feels best on a subaru. I personally dont care if its the best on the Williams, that is for each owner to decide...
Probably gonna get some anyway as I have always tried to keep my valver as good as I can and find a lot of the petrol additives and stuff like this work if applied correctly and not over used.
It makes sense that things worsen over time so anything that can lessen this impact is good IMO.
Forgot to say the Magnex is a good idea. My 16v came with a magnex and K&N. Took K&N off straight away as it just sucks hot air in and make a loud noise. Magnex was fitted by owner as OE exhaust broke and Magnex comes with lifetime guarantee. IMO the Magnex looks better than OE exhaust too.
Saw a Williams on top of 2 cars about 6 montsh ago there. Bonnet was gone and engine was available but did not like the fact that it was just sat there getting rained and shat on.
Thinking about this again. You are not getting that good a deal. 4.6k for the car plus yours means that you are paying full price. You would be better selling your car privately and seeing what he would sell for with no PX.
He would also have to sell with the alpine gear anyway as what use...
1st get it HPId. £40 oer whatever and that should help you decide. I would have also added check the tyres. You wont believe the number of people who just buy any tyre, seen some cars with different make on ever corner which can mean they have been replaced at different times (why) and also...
Any1 used it? Not long after buying my car 3 years ago used the 10k boost stuff and it did make a difference. Didnt seem to want to go into the throttle body that easy though.
Ecotek do similar stuff called powerboost. Before any1 dismisses it (its be ecotek remember) has any1 tried it...
Yeah dont forget fitting, and your cliosport discount. Was gonna suggest giving carnoisseur a try as they tend to be good with our discount but you obviously want fitting too.
Carnoisseur I have found to be good. Ring them up though (chris at southend) as you will get good service, nice cliosport discount and they can get most things.
