as abobe is their any difference between valver and an Rsi width or does that not matter as all the parts necessary will be replaced with the conversion.


does this mean that it will be as wide as a williams???? :oops: :oops: is that possible without the wiliams subframe.
Sorry don't really understand widetrack as you call it or exactly what needs done to create it. :roll:

yeah i beleive you can still use your subframe mate, but you will need 16v wings as i think rsi front wings are not wide enough!

parts you need are

wishbones
anti-roll bar and all clamps/bushes
both driveshafts
both shockers
pos you will need the track rods/tie arms, not sure if the rsi stuff will extend enough like 16v does!

you can 'widetrack' the RSi to 16v spec as is now, same list of stuff as above but just 16v items not williams as another option

but main widetrack conversion that everyones on about all the time is converting 16v car with 16v track to williams track, and as richy says to achieve williams track in an RSi u'll need 16v arches

all depends on what u want, for best handling, get williams track and arches, but if u just want to fill the RSi arches, get 16v track n keep the arches as they are

Yes rear track is the same for the 16v and williams, not sure about the rsi as they dont have the flared rear arches but that wont matter to much. Id say just lowered with uprated shocks would be fine with the widetrack on the front.

depends on the bearing size. think the rsi,s run valver/willy size bearings any way.

i think the willy rear beam is wider than the 16v..

16v is definitely wider than the rsi

16v is defo wider as it has wider arches to fill lol iirc the 16v and willy rear axles are the same.

correct, the willy and 16v rear beam are the same

16v is wider than RSi upfront and williams is even wider
