Hi everyone! I'm in Australia and I'm doing a Super 1600 replica... WILLIAMS IV...

[RiccardoAUS]

My name is Riccardo I'm originally from Italy where I was Rally driver and preparator of Clio Gr.N / Gr.A / Super 1600.
Now I'm in Sydney, Australia, where I bought from my new neighbour a Clio RS 172 for $3500.
My dream always was to have an exactly replica of the Clio Super 1600, wide bodykit, 17" rally rims, 220cv, sequential gb with LSD.
since when I was 18 all my Clios (8) and Megane Coach/Cup (3) i always had the Sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox on them.. For road and for race.
I was deeply in love with the first Clio Williams so after 30 years I decided that I want a Clio with the same characteristics that made that car so beautiful.

1- Wide than a normal Clio - (I will put Super 1600 arches)
2- Full intense race Blue - (I will wrap the entire car with WF22)
3- Big light racing gold rims - (I will put "17 gold superlight)
4- interior with blue trim and numbered plaque - (I will wrap some parts with carbon fiber blue and the Williams logos and I will make the new 00/99 gold plaque)

The project of course involve the performances and handling, Sadev sequential gearbox (with standard joint and 60% LSD) , ITB, ECU, 330mm brake with 6 pot calipers, full exhaust but with electric valve on the exhaust (just to be legal) and good quality coilovers.

At the moment I'm half way of my project and I will start a thread so whoever likes this new Clio Williams IV can share with me opinions.

see u soon!

ps sorry about the english

Hi Riccardo, sounds fantastic ... I always loved the S1600s too! Are you on OzRensultSport as well? I imagine a lot in the Australian Renault community would be interested in this too.

LOL ... sorry, you are right, that does look weird. OP also posted this on OZRS and got a very excited response. It looks like a great project to follow and it's a little less common to see these sort of projects in Australia.
