Williams handling

[king.stromba]

Well its cost me a fortune, but ive got most of the stuff done on my williams that i wanted to in order to sort out the handling:

Rear shocks

Front shocks

Front springs

Top mounts

Track rods

Tyres

Wheel balancing

Tracking

Steering column welded

Front disc and pads

Rear pads

New bushes

Drive shaft



Just driven her. All i can say is











Bring on the Elises

Cost???

 

[king.stromba]

You dont want to know

 

[fastwunz]

Nah come on.... how much was it all? was it all worth it?

 

[steve a]

Nice work King, i am planning on new top mounts, wishbones, track rod ends and poly bushes (when money allows)

 

[king.stromba]

Expensive, but worth it yes. Handles how i expect now.

 

[northy]

What condition were your bumpstops in ?

Was it all genuine renault parts used pal ?

 

[007]

Is this on 002?

 

[northy]

Best Not be.

No its his second be-atch 0200, I think.

 

[Ben H]

Were the shocks the original Williams spec ones? Same type as the 16V, but with harsher damper settings.

 

[cupsportmad]

So is a William comparable to an s1 elise, is it that good?

 

[king.stromba]

Yeah original renault shocks, i have the box infront of me. No its my 0200. But feels almost as good now. I used genuine renault front pad / discs and lucas rear pads. Brakes are amazing.

Renault bushed and springs.



Steering is brilliant with the colum welded. Also got a bit more power as the manifold was cracked and now is welded.

As I am about to embark on this lot myself, I would be top to have a ball park figure to aim at!

Go on, tell us how much!

Cheers for that, will write to the forum when I am having it done and let know what I find out about the process and what it costs me.
