as for engines....the std willy btm end will b fine. as iv said before, they are bulletproof....unless u let some clueless knob work on it then things will inevitably go wrong. eh jesus
How much does it cost to fill rite up? if you ran it into the red i mean
Need to know from an actual owner plse and it would get me worst case 60 miles to a tenner? also are we talking unleaded or the more expensive optimax?
Forget it get the 2.0 bottome end for the Megan or a whole williams engineHow involved is it to convert a valver engine to Willy spec and for what kind of price?
a 16v is not quicker than a ph2 172 unless it's broken.

indeed! Full of pisch this thread! Std for std a willy will NOT beat any 172.
Sac your PTW ratio's in reality the 172 WILL beat the williams.
I've had both and it's evidently quicker.
Canny comment on the 197 top end!

Didn't your williams have alot of problems though?
Think the 1/4 times posted by the WC lot should be cross referenced with the CS times to confirm which is faster....
ive owned a valver and a ph1 172. my 172 was also known as a 'quick one' by those who toyed with it/went out in it i.e markcup.
ROund here we have something called the bridge run, come off a roundabout, at 30mph then floor it, see what you can get. My 172 used to make 100mph every single time. the valver matched it.
having owned all pretty much all the clio sport range (apart from the 197) i'd have to say the williams is probably the most fun i've ever had to drive, it just has such a grunt that you don't get from a 182/172. I mean i love my vee 6 but i just love the way the williams handles and drives, you can just throw the williams into a corner and it just goes round it. I don't know how ppl manage to crash them, i drive mine (bit modded though) pretty hard and can safely say i've never managed to run into anything or end up in any fields
well they set place is like i say 100mph away, my valver with the 172 lump in is making 125mph now... fook.

yeah his Williams was a total s**t box, so he doesn't have a clue if we're honest. "yeah my s**t Williams that you'd be lucky to make it turn over was slower than my 172"... well there's a shock for the ages.
Question is has a 172 ever run a 14.0 with just the back seats out and basic mods? Answer is a resounding "NO". Chris' is the closest with a 14.1 and is generally considered a freak. Someone will no doubt mention TimO's as well, but that was totally stripped out and modded, in which case Martin's car is the best comparison, the Willy engined valver that ran a 13.8... guess that makes the Willy quicker
My missus has a Ph2 172, had a Ph1 172 and neither were even remotely in the same league as my Williams as totally standard, even her Ph1 which was modded as well. Sorry to burst your bubble Mk2 owners, but the Mk1's are faster, the Mk1 vs Mk2 day was dominated by the Mk1's as well, if it wasn't for Lucky's 172 iirc it would have been a white wash, iirc they were using RSI's to give the full fats a chance
172 box now.
he knows it was a shitbox thats why he sold ityeah his Williams was a total s**t box, so he doesn't have a clue if we're honest. "yeah my s**t Williams that you'd be lucky to make it turn over was slower than my 172"... well there's a shock for the ages.

I was just being a little more diplomatic
But I like your blunt approach.
