with just simple mods.
How was mine a shi tter??, none of you's even seen it! It was Mint bodywork wise...Want me to produce the pics again!!??
Yes the box went...Woopy do, it had done over 60k!!!!!!!!!! IMO thats the longest any mk1 box has gone for! The Car had done 102k when i sold it.
Had an incident with it at cadwell where the caliper sheared off...Fair play, mayb we over tighened something and stressed the bolt. I'm no blaming the car for that! Was more upset that i'd got to about 50yrs from the track and couldn't get on
Jon....1st off! lol...Who gives a flyin fcuk about 1/4 miles! Honestly man give it up! Do you line up at the trafficlights and race everyone. That i doubt! I 100% agree that the willy gets off the line better and on a 1/4 it probably would win! Going by current and previous results it's evident the Mk1 is a better 1/4 car. But you honestly think from 50plus which is far more important to me the willy is going to keep up! NO BLOODY WAY! My willy ran 158bhp and Big iain's old 172 killed me about 90! And his was std.
Mine kept up with 3 other willy's i met up with, infact i was catchin two of them up to about 100! Mine only had a zorst and decat if we're bein fair and honest.
Don't get me wrong the willy is a cool wee car I don't have any real regrets...Other than it didn't live up to what i thought it would...If you want to die in an exciting/painful manner the willy is defo up there with the likes of base jumping and Swimmin wi sharks!
oooo we hit a nerve?? lmao.
iv got plenty more vids that show the willys superiority over the 172/182/197/v6s/meg 225s on track as well mate
try www.streetfire.net and run a search for clio williams. theres a few vids of the rs days. and then heres the spa day vids from this years rs trackday there.
long straights.caught and passed.
corners...again...a lot of them...caught and passed
btw. the gearbox in 0051 is the original gearbox outta 0159. did almost 70k in 0159.and has done about 50k in both 0051 and 0159 since...so id say its on around 120k......and thats with me driving. lol
also. 0-60 in mine was 5.63. 0-100 id say around 14.5.
and ....i think all this good engine/bad engine s**t is all bull. iv come to this conclusion, after having 4 diff engines in any 1 of my cars....and all of em being pretty quick, and all within 3-4 mph of each other on my speed test. altho. 1 did then go bang lol.
