Hi guys
I'm new here & am looking for a little project (2nd car) to do up for my first track-slag!! And what no better car to start with, than the CW. 8)
I've had numerous hot hatches before, which include cars such as 2 x 1.9 205's, 2 x 306 GTi-6's & a Clio 16v (+ not to mention a couple of dodgy choices, but don't we all, eh?! :wink:) - The 16v was (is) a great handling car, but just lacked that little bit of grunt, if I'm honest. (No offence intended to any current 16v owners).
I'm now looking to put that right with a Williams, though. :evil:
I know they're only stated as having an extra 13 bhp, but i've heard they're a lot quicker than the 2 power figures may suggest?! (I guess they should be for Ins. group 17 Vs. 12!!! )
I'm not looking for anything too tidy, as you know what it's main function will be, but something that is fairly mechanically sound, not rotten & roadworthy would be ideal, as I'm going to have to drive it to tracks. Interior isn't a problem either, as most of this will be coming out anyway. I can do minor repairs myself, brakes/exhaust etc, but something with a good engine/box would be brill, as that's a little beyond me!!
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hello - I'm off to scour the classifieds, now!! :wink:
