williams vs 182

[EVOgone]

Agree the FRS is a fantastic car, but as you say it should be they cost 7k more and they cost even more than that to produce

Very true i drove No7 car to the work then to Manchester airport. We bought it and many other cars to do some PR stuff in the US for turbocharged cars. Was really impressed with it then and still am today..

Cheep insurance and a very good car. 500quid chip and 260/270hp and look the dogs bollox.

 

[gazcaddy]

Cant understand what the arguements are about, in general a std 182 is quicker than a std Williams

Bear in mind that the Williams will have loads of miles on them where as the 182's engine will still be tight

I was seriously considering getting one as you can pick one up for 16k with about 10k on the clock and the insurance was £10 cheaper than the 182, also considered getting an S3, you drove one of those?

I wish it was that easy, the main problem on the FRS is the crap exhaust manifold, for decent power either a DFord Racing or miltek version is required. A bluefinn will in fairness only see 250 at very best with the std manifold, for 270 your takin manifold, AF an Bluefinn. then its a case of what turbo you want till to 400bhp, after that its a full internal overhaul. But yes they do look the b****cks. http://freespace.virgin.net/steve.bower1/PC'd1smll.jpg
Anyway back to which clio is best!! LOL

f**k me!

7 pages over a modified Williams vs a standard production 182...

Best post I've seen in this thread:

Why dont you lot just line up and see who can piss the furthest?

 

[Ian_182]

Can i just ask.
Does anyone own a standard williams.Standard gearbox not a diesel one.Standard airbox exhaust and everything so we could maybe see whats what...?

[Paul J]

Love the Williams and wouldn't bet against one driven well on certain tracks.

As for the FRS, great cars and better in a lot of ways to the 182 but:

My mate's & mine. He wont come to airfield day as being beaten by a Clio he would never live down.

 

[gazcaddy]

Yes but round topgear

Focus RS 1.32.2
Clio 182 1.33.8

Not much in it though and its impressive that the clio is to close to more expensive machinery

Mine is completely and utterly standard (bar the stereo but, I have the original boxed up and ready to put in should I ever sell it to a purist!) - no mods whatsoever and it is cartainly as quick off the line as a 172 full fat, and having driven both feels the more responsive of the two. Not driven a 182 or (either) cup though. Would love to try the Trophy.

In fact, my williams is still on most of its original parts, bar brake pads and cam belt and feels and looks like its brand new. Thats half the appeal of the thing, its almost 12 years old and is completely mint. Took me 3 years to find it though.

Nice to see you joined the " Who can piss furthest line " ;-)

 

[ben_p]

Frankly how would you know....Edde knows the answer to that one.

Plus his is striped / Modded so you shouldn't compare the two.......Edde you know the score.

i know coz ur car is a "cup" we are in our world not your 400 bhp fastest clio ever world

 

[Williams025]

Nice to see you joined the " Who can piss furthest line " ;-)

Hey, I dont piss in public! I was saying that I'd like to drive the 182 etc as the 172 was pretty much the same as the Williams in terms of performance... Trying to add a balanced view as all the Willy talk was of modified ones!

 

[2 live]

As said your car isnt std so pointless post.....Find a std williams and make the comparison (if there is one)

no mine isnt standard........but neither was the cup. we both have same mods, only his is on a full stregnth engine, whereas mine is on an engine which is down on power due to the wrong head on it.

std vs std. we used to be about same, mod vs mod iv crept past him....


u want a std williams?? will take me 30 mins to put mine back to std, well less power than std due to head, but im fairly convinced, even then id still be level pegging, if not ahead of the 182



u really are clueless arent u??

A modified Willy sounds bloody painful !!!

If i did have a Willy, i`d leave it as it was meant to be

It`s a personal thing i guess but i love standard cars and fully intend to keep my 182 standard. As for the Willy v 182 debate, both great cars and a waste of oxygen trying to argue one is better than the other. I`d be proud to own either.

looks like someone's bored pmsl

wouldn't waste your time here mate, people that 'used' to own Evo's cant be reasoned with, because they are always right.

When Evo drivers have sex with a man, it is not because they are gay, but
because they have run out of women.

 

[Jamie]

where did u get that 0-100 time for the williams to be 20secs from? thats a bit far fetched. the cars are similar but im not sure a 182 would be quicker round a track tbh. the standard handaling 182's ive been in have left alot to be desired they dont feel as sturdy and planted as a williams, i think the 'average' driver would be able to drive a williams much quicker through the twisties.

 

[EVOgone]

Im sure the stig you put everyone straight after driving the two.

I will be in the states...unfortunately.

im sure there will be plenty other oppertunities for evogone to show us the error of our ways in choosing a williams over a 182, or woteva it is that he drives.

tracks, strips, roads..........wherever, youl still only be seeing the williams from behind

I thought Chris'N'nics Cup had a 14.1@99 with just chip and exhaust....

Any williams done that with those mods.....

 

[ben_p]

cant wait to meet you EVOgone. looking forward to seeing your cup on the strip.

 

[The Fatty]

^^^ about time something like that did happen, EVO always seems to be telling everyone as if he knows best, well maybe he should prove it!

also....a clio vs rs? i wouldnt set it off like that...id say clio vs fessa, megan 225 vs rs....scenic vs galaxy and so on....

 

[ben_p]

lol, he would loose against me, anyone who has been the meets knows my car is very fast stock rs

Only because your cars has the perfect 4k launch control. ;-)

Its not all about the 1/4 mile though.

 

[ben_p]

lol edde, thats fixed ! , not all about the 1/4 . cup looks good and handles well, but i have coils now and a strong engine lol

 

[Ad]

I'll vouch that ben's is one quick example of a standard RS. One of the benefits of wringing a cars neck from day1.

Didnt know you got coilies bud, are they on.... or is above a 'preview' hahaha
