Looks like the Europeans have the faster Williams'

There is a Williams turbo in Holland i know of aswell as the few that have posted on here.

Personally I would'nt want to turbo a williams...I'm all for a bit of tuning but IMO a turbo would harm the williams driving experience...would be bloody quick though!

I think you can say that for all mods. Past a decat and zorst all mods harm the original characteristics of the engine. Its a sliding scale.

Agreed, I certainly wouldnt modify the williams beyond exhaust and air filter

I modified my old RS2000 and it ended up having a huge effect on value so original is best!!

i'm not sure i'd modify a Williams 1, but I have a 2 anyway so there not quite as important to keep original in that respect... i'll shortly be having a *hopefully* pretty decent power hike within the next month :wink:

lmao.......lol.i think some mods can emphasise and improve the characteristics of the car................engine wise anyway.......personaly, as said before...id go with a std bodywork and hugely modified engine over panels that have been painted...engine can be put back to oe no problems.....panels cant

Not saying that Jon, just pointing out that as you modify an engine it loses some of its drivability.

Its a double edged sword finding the balance.

i think mines at about the limit where it could turn unreliable tbh.....any more mods an i think i could start havoin to epair more often.......need a strong gearbox now n will be fine

What about a straight cut gearbox jon, they sound awsome, I had a do with a scooby rally car on saturday down a slip road going onto the M55 and it sounded awsome...like craggy's VTS! Don't know if they are any stronger though!

Standard is the best...possibly coilovers though to aid in the handling!
