Williams vs Mk2 Reno sports

[Winston]

Runs and hides lol

My log books on the williams :wink:

[KingStromba]

They made a mark 2?

Though they would have given up after creating perfection. :roll:

[Andy]

stromba you make me chuckle

[Lunner]

LOL, looks liek alla hte mk2 owners have lost intertest since CS is back up

[big hp]

Back up? Since when did that happen..........

[robertoc]

if i was in a mk1 i probably wouldnt be here after my drivers side ramming a year ago :lol:

[KingStromba]

But a mark1 would have been 100 yards up the road, so wouldnt have been hit :D

[robertoc]

where's the fun in that :lol:

[smokey]

182 is quicker then a Williams end of.
Own both so am able to give my unbiased opinion.

You have a Williams as well? :shock:

[smokey]

well................no not exactly. I dont have gold wheels or fancy gold stickers if thats what your asking.
Those stickers weigh a tonne. Wouldnt wanna slow mine down :wink:
At least theres no rust in my coolant adding weight :roll:

[KingStromba]

Id be more concerned by the difference in crank weights on the mark 2's.


Upto 6lbs between cars :shock:

[smokey]

Mk2's??? :?

My Hybrid is a Mk1 PH1 :D

[KingStromba]

Mk2 as in 172 / 182

[Jamie.]

tbh i think that std for std a 172/182 would be quicker round a track. but we need an independant test....poss ty croes angelsey 29th July. im sure a few 172's are gona be turning up for that.

[smokey]

172/182 handle like boats as standard fella, thats why i had coliovers fitted to the 172. Even the 182 with CUP springs feels unstable

[KingStromba]

182 with coilovers isnt a 182 though is it?

Just as a Laguna Touring car touring car isnt a Renault Laguna. Its been modified so it loses all semblance to the original artical.

Agree...at Oulton Park the williams there were faster than the 172/182s fact! Well maybe northy was getting stuffed but thats it! :lol:

I dont disbelieve it mate, once i got the coilovers on the 172 it was a completely different story.

lol.wasnt just the gettin stuffed bit.the lapping him while he was in the kitty litter was embarrassing...no williams shudda bin there :wink: lol

but put coilovers on a williams also.........hehe :twisted: ........diff outcome again

[Rhys]

I miss my old Williams like mad, but I bought another MK2 172. I think thats cos I'm soft and wanted climate control and gadgets :lol: Williams undoubtedly handled better than the MK2 172, but it's not like the 172 doesn't have as many good points as it has rattles (a lot :D )

[mon]

182/172 will never look as good as the 16v/williams INSIDE AND OUT

also raced my mate 172 in my 16v (not williams) and he only over took me a 125mp and the 172 was chipped

and i thought it was a 1 secound quicker 0-60


any way made me happyer mm and a bit more

whould get a trophy but still do not like inside of them more going the audi s3 way

There different cars I'd like a Mk1 mk2 hybrid realy The Mk1 looks like a classic inside but its not very modern the Mk is plush and fashionable. If I had to choice interiers I'd take the Mk2. The same goes for the exterier the but I'd tae the Mk1 over the Mk2 as I like the styling. Handling wise thats difficult the 182 is very good and realy I'd like the feedback and handling (what little feedback there is) from the Mk1 but the Mk2's potential as a car.
I wish I had mk2 toys (ABS in particular) as even for a race car you only have to slam on and they will module even if you freezeup.
But since you can get a mint WIlliams for say £4k and a Mint 172 for £8k there a big difference in cars. If you go to M and S and Liddle and get a sausage roll you expect them to be different. Its more difficult to make somehting better out of a more expensive product.

The Williams does have a history unlike what any 172/182 will ever have from its rallying and racing days. Then again if I were to crash I'd want to be in a 172 ever time even with my cage in the Williams.

172/1982 need milage before they loosen up you only have to have a quick drive in one with 20 k vs 1k to tell the difference.

[mon]

mk2 is bland inside end of... also you have to look for the mk2 they do not stand out..


if you had a choice new mk1 or mk2 whitch would it be

also ( off topic ) a new gt turbo

This isn't going to silence the critics. I personally belive in some respects the Williams is the better car. I have driven both on the track so I'm not going on what I've seen other people drive them. The trophy is a supebr car though and still given the choice of new Williams vs Trophy I'd get the tropy and accept that in some ways its not as good as the Williams. If I were to pick the WIlliams I'd do so knowing what I'd loose aginst the Trophy as a car.

[J o n]

Trophy... oh, red things that were getting smoked all day at Donny..? yeah, nice cars them :lol:

[Smokey McPot]

My Cup is quicker than my Williams.

Williams is more rewarding to drive though.

Trophys are gay.
