Latest Pics of the Williams

[lozw]

Thought I would take advantage of the nice weather yesterday, gave the car a quick wash and polish then went off for a drive to the coast!

Fitted the Foglights yesterday and also the centre caps! Just need to order a new bonnet from renault, get the wheels refurbed (still can't decide on gold or white) and then give the car a good pc!

All comments welcome!!

Nice pics mate. The wheels are crying out to be gold imo!!

 

[cat171]

Yep, deffo go for gold wheels (for the nice & standard look) It looks a bit high at the front in a few of the pics, what suspensions it got on it ?

Nice looking car though & there aren't many around anymore.

 

[lozw]

Its currently on standard suspension, am thinking about getting 172 cup springs, just to make thefront a tiny bit lower!

I'm swaying towards gold too, white is different but my heart says oem!

 

[lewisniven]

mine is on cup springs at the front, makes it look far better:

looks like a leather interior in yours too, R19 or re-trimmed standard?

 

[lozw]

Its a 16v leather interior!

Will get a williams interior soon, although im not 100% on liking them!!

Cup springs look good, deffo on the list now Thanks for the pic!

Cup springs make no cosmetical difference.

They sit 3mm shorter than std Williams/172 springs.

I doubt you have std williams springs on tbh.

I had some white williams alloys on mine for a while, do look good but prefer gold.

 

[Kneel]

put the white superlegs on it, it'll look coooool

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks good likes.

Gold or white is a hard choice but overall I think I would go for gold.

[Pistol Pete]

looking good, where did you go for the pics?

 

[Jamie]

Could be just the pics then. But cup springs are no shorter just firmer.

The first few are in Orford, the last few are on a back road from stow to Needham

there must be, mine sits noticeably lower at the front than a standard willy, i was told it was a 5mm drop?

Its a rally homologation car, if anything raise it up. Lowering is for circuit cars and boy racers.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks pretty bonzer to me!

what? its nothing to do with homoligation at all. The williams was built to commemorate mansells 1993 F1 drivers champ win.

No the williams 'name' was given to it to commemorate the F1 ties as an after thought. The actual car was built to allow Renault to compete in the French rally championship with a 2 litre car. As they had no suitable production car with a 2 litre engine, they had to build one, then homologate it with the FIA by selling at least 2500 road going versions. 400 in the uk, the rest around the world, mostly in France.

The williams was built purely to allow Renault to rally it. Hence they built and engine specifically for the car. Its a rally homologation car, first and foremost. The gold badge is a gimmick.

The williams 2 and 3 were built purely as a marketing exercise to make money and were watered down a 'bit' (the 3 mainly). As were subsequent Escort Cosworth following the original homologated car (with smaller turbo and different engine management).
