Stuck the Willie in the local free ads to test the water - and I get a pile of calls on the first day. One lad coming through on Sat probably to buy.:( Something cheaper needed so I can do and pay for my open uni course - only really noticed how totally mint the car is when he asked me about...

What does the average Standard Willie get on the 1/4mile? I mean standard - no mods at all and not any seats/interior removal. Has anyone got any times they could post for me?

Sell my Williams:( Basically I need funds to do an Open University Degree so I the sensible option is too sell the Clio and get something £2,000 cheaper. I keep putting off getting this qualification and im very 30 soon so im going for it. My 2 Options are: A: Sell the Williams and replace...

OK Peeps I must be doing something wrong as I have never seen anyone else post with the problem: I have a standard Williams exhaust to go onto my Williams - the front section to the cat is easy but the rear section that goes over the rear suspension will not go. It keeps getting stuck on the...

Does anyone know how much a standard one from the cat back costs? I would phone renault but they are shut today and kwickfit are useless. The magnex is annoying me so it could be going if the standard one is cheap enough! Thanks Carl

.......does this extend to the tyre sizes or have you all done like me and gone from 185/55 to 195/50? Just wondering as my Toyos are starting to get near to the end of thier life. Has to be said a very very short life! Just looking for opinions on the difference the size makes as some will...

Well Tax done last week and MOT today with insurance next week so ive been dreading this one. Passed with only rear brake pads needing replaced! Not bad for a 8 year old car!! Probably my cheapest MOT ever:D Who says Renaults are unreliable! {probably breakdown on my way back to work now LOL)

This: Osram Silver Star 5 Star award - Best Buy Award - Beam: 96.9m "The flagship bulb in Osrams range, the Silverstars 75m figure was only a fraction better than that of arch-rival Philips (right), but it performed significantly better at 50m. Add a price advantage, and the Osrams plus 50...

Would a Magnex de-cat and a panel filter make any difference to my Williams. Probably get both for about £100 - what does everyone think? Ive been thinking about this for a while but never got round to it - just some cheap mods - would they make any difference to the power - or just make it...

This one is for some of the people on here that dont understand what the Williams is all about as there appears to be a few kicking about on this forum at the moment. This artical is from Perfomance Car 1998 between the following cars for the Ultimate Hot Hatch Champion: Civic...

When driving with my lights on at night the brightness off them is pathetic. On full beam its not bad - on normal its like having candles for bulbs. There are some clear headlamp protecters on which may make things better if I take them off but not that much surley? Also the light doesnt...

OK here goes: Im off to look at a cheap VTS tommorrow for the GirlFriend. The current owner says the only fault with it is that the indicator switch is broken and its effecting all the other gauges including the temp gauge! Does anyone know if this is correct and that the indicator switch...

The Valver and Williams have a reputation (correctly so from my experience so far!) of being expensive to repair! What are the 172s like? Are they just as bad for getting things done on them or are they easier to work on?

of my Williams as I had a tad too much too drink last night:oops:. There is no height adjustment on it and I could not believe how high you have to sit! Are the French all under 4 tall? Its like being in a MPV or something - thank god im normally in the Drivers seat!

:( 30,000 miles on my Willie - feels like its old now! Ill take it for a blast to cheer it up:D

Seems a stupid question I know but when I try and use the jack supplied with the car, it says to slot the jack into the slot in the car. Well there is some sort of suspension part stopping me being able to do this!:confused: Any ideas anyone?

Was at Star performance in Fife today - got my car rolling roaded. Im not expert so im just going to post the figures- and im using someone elses PC this weekend so ill make this quick. 163.5 BHP @ 6510 rpm 135 lbf-ft @ 5440 rpm 113.5 BHP at the wheels I am told that STAR use the same...

Just got my car back after a Major Service at Renault - it involved changing a Brake pipe. Now the brakes arent as sharp - there is a fair bit more travel before the start working and it takes longer to really get them stopping. They were almost instant before - once you hit the pedal they...

Most powerful of each of the following: 16V Williams MK1 172 MK2 172 Cup Just out of interest - because there doesnt seem any (many?) high powered Williams - only valvers with Willie engines!

I have one question - how much noisier is it than just the cat? They have a Siliencer on them so im hoping no more noisier than the magnex cat back exhaust i have on - I cant handle more noise!!! Found it new for £89.05 http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1057570459__cat3720.jpg

Car booked in for a Major Service at Renault on Thursday in Inverness! booked in at Star Performance in Fife for a Rolling Road on Friday so I can get a starting figure! Then off to Glasgow - Hopefully get some RX7 AP22 times from my cousin and have a RX7 vs Williams race (I think we know...

I know this should be on Power etc... but I just wanted a quick response:) I have booked my car into a non renault dealer for a Major service but is a Williams harder to service than the average car? Also is there any special tools need to do it? I think it will be OK but its just some...

£240 - Am I dreaming - I know ive mostly owned Ford RSs but my last major on the other car was £120! I wanted to keep the Williams with a Renault service history but cannot afford it at that price! Is there anything they do above the norm that would make it cost so much or can I get my mate to...

OK after my last attempt to sort out my ticking sound I thougt maybe is I pointed out where exactly the noise was coming from someone could help! It a very distinctive high pitched noise kind of like the sparking when lighting you gas hob. It sounds loud and someones gonna say spark plugs:pbut...

About a month ago I put on 195/50R15s to replace my std 185/55/R15s. I dont know if its the tyres or the suspension - I have checked the rear suspension and it seems firm enough but it does creek! Anyway to the point - I took the Williams along Loch Ness Side on the old tyres - at the end of...

Well did some vids last night but cant post the as my PC dies when I try and use them. I have timed the videos and did a few AP22 runs too on the way home with Rhyss settings for a comparason. I reckon my speedo is 5mph out maybe 4. Video: 0-60 6.02 secs (speedo time) 0-65 7.05 secs...

Was a close one tonight on the way home!! I choose the wrong lane (turned out to be the wright lane) to get on to the Dual Carrageway and got stuck behind some slow old Granny - there was some Bloke beside on the inside lane in a Red BMW (revving)he tooks of across the round-a-bout and onto the...

After being out for a run last night I thought id hit some glass - while checking the tyres I noticed the engine sounding "tappety"! You know like those old Ford CVHs!! Is this normal for a 2 ltr Renault engine with 28k?

Managed to pass a dodgy white van twice in 5 minuites:p DOH DOH DOH - I cant remember the speed the first time I passed but it wasnt slow - the second time I was doing 110mph and slowing down so what speed it got me at I dont know! I didnt see anyone in it and it had what looked like paper stuck...

What mods do you have? and what power are you getting? I am looking at some mods but cant decide the best way to go! Cheers
