My Standard Williams has just had an engine rebuild. I am prepared to use my car in a competition with a similarly new engined 182 to make a comparison. This may be the only chance to see how these two cars compare once and for all. It also has newly rebuilt suspension, new calipers / brakes, bushes and pretty much everything replaced. The only thing that isnt is the gearbox and rack.

My car is completely standard, with standard exhaust and paper filter. It has a cat on it. It runs with full interior and spare tyre.

I would be prepared to have some runs of various types to see the difference. Any 182 owners out there really think that you can out accelerate a Williams to 60? The book says yo, i say no. 0-100, i bet the Williams would have it too.

Anyone game enough to try this. My engine has 1600 miles on it. Of course the challenge has been set, and i have nothing to lose, but then i know it wont lose.


No excuses. Prove your 182 is as quick as you claim.

Yeah wouldnt mind a drash with a cup, although Ian Mc Ian says your Willy is fairly rapido on the old twisties, so might be good to compare the old blue dragons.

I think Ian is going to rebuild his suspension at some point, so a before and after might be in order.

I'd be interested to see how much faster in a straight line my car may or may not be.
Might be worth getting somoen to pop down to Renault for a test drive.

Sorry Strorba Bads news i am afraid a couple of months before i wrote of my Willy 1 No. 378 i had a race on some dual tracks with my mate who has a 1 8 poo (he willnot be happy if he sees that) and we both stopped and went from a stand still mine was standard apart from Scorpian bat box and that was it as was his no alteratins at all!!

Anitial i got the better launch but as i craked second he could hold first that little bit longer and as we went through our gear boxes he only started to pull and pull not alot but noticable !!!
It was when i hit fourth that he pulled a cars lentgh as his just kept sem to be pulling !!! so yer his was quicker

But as we came up to the roundabout i nailed him on the inside while he had some vesious understeer lol
then there we were again on the next staright giving it everything to be honest not a massive amount in it but i am affraid all other williams clio owners they are slightly quicker if both standard as much as i hate to say it!!! But everybody knows who can hold the tight line in the bends!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clio 182 is quicker than all of the old clio and even the first v6 ja !
Late v6 no.

I race against the V6 in my car (AC SCHNITZER AUTOVERK ACS7) and it has impressed me on the speed but I did bury him still. CLio 182 is no problem but the car is of fine handling and euro price.

Is that a Seven series? :shock:

Ja, I also have the Clio 172 and also Ford Explorer for the cold months.

I would be happy to race anyone from this place on the autobahn or dragstrip and make them look stupid yes. very much the young man who sells AUDI S3 to buy Clio 16v.
