Williams from Croatia...

[Markic]

Hey there guys, I will present you my Williams, later I will present my other two hot-hatches.
My Williams is 1993, 140 000 km (87 000 miles approx.), Phase 1.
Mint interior, bodywork - no rust at all, mechanical in mint state (except for the clutch - just ordered a new 215mm Valeo). It needs repaint and wheel refurb, as 17 years left their mark on the paintjob and wheels. Doddgy oil pressure gauge needs sorting (as I've read they are accurate as shooting stuff with a shotgun from 100 miles distance... LoL
Will be restoring this car step by step, just like I'm doing it with my Gt turbo.

Sorry for the bad pictures quality, gayPhone quality innit... :D

Comments welcome! :)

[dkrevs]

It's really nice for milage it has done so far! :) How much did you pay for it?

[northy]

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/Markicgti/Clio%20Williams%202333/240920102007Large.jpg

very low chassis number is that F000980

[MatrixGuy]

That looks lovely.

Is that a horse shoe in the boot? :D

I was just wondering the same thing, lol.

Looks very nice, next job a wheel refurb? :D

[Clio-Girl]

looks very very tidy, does make me want a williams more and more!

[Wobba]

looks great! Never know when you may need a spare horseshoe tbh :)

[Clio-Girl]

looks great! Never know when you may need a spare horseshoe tbh :)

its lucky, of course every clio owner should carry one!

[Markic]

Cheers for your comments guys :)

Yes, it's a horseshoe, and as Clio-Girl told you, it brings luck and fortune :D
TBH, this car has a myth, this horseshoe is in the boot for 15 years now!!!
I wanted to take it out, but the owner I bought it from told me not to do it!

:D

Funny!
My plan is the clutch change(original Valeo), wheel refurb and complet respray!
That should bring it back to it's mint condition :)

I love the car, very powerful, loving the torque in the low range rpm's... :)

Thank you once again, and excuse my bad english. If I make gramatic mistakes, I hope you won't mind it since I'm not from the UK.

Cheers people! :)

[robi1000]

Ha ha, with the amount of bad luck I had with my car, I need a truckload of horseshoes in my boot! :lol:

I love your car mate! Looks like it's been well looked after. I just hope you will keep it for a while (you look like a proper french hot hatch lover - BTW your collection would complement mine nicely :wink: ).

If you need anything, just PM me (you can write in Croatian if you want to).

[northy]

this car does not need a respray looking at the great condition of the original paintwork!

if it does need paint do it locally if u can!

[Jamie.]

Williams were clearly nit made for the UK/wet. That one looks ace.

The sticker looks to be infilled (no reflection of the white line) and the bump strip is from a 16v.


Mat.

[2 live]

^^^^^^^^ listen to the man....


looks clean tho

[Markic]

jep, that sticker is replaced, as the original one was in a poor state.
bump strip is from a 16v as I lost one part of it, and couldn't find Williams strip in Croatia, as I think mine is the only one, so I had to go for a 16v strip ;)

Will sort it out when I respray the car.

The paintjob looks good in the pics, but it's full of scratches and little dents, so I has to be done
:D

Thanks to everyone for the comments, I hope you will help me with advice and everthing else.

I am really impressed with the car, it's really strong, pulls like a train, handling is awesome, I really love this car! :)

robi, thanks, will be contacting you soon! to meet! :D

[thaijedi]

lovely looking motor you have, no chance of you geting rusty wheel archers :D

[Markic]

Transmission rebuild!

When everything was taken off from the car, I changed some other things like ball joints:

OMG, OMG, it's taken apart! :lol:

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/Markicgti/Clio%20Williams%202333/290920102029.jpg

All of this is going in the trash! Rebuilded with OEM Renault parts!

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f331/Markicgti/Clio%20Williams%202333/290920102034.jpg

Little gift for my Willy :)

[cliokiz]

VERY nice!

How much did it cost you to rebuild your gearbox?

It seems not many people bother doing this in the UK because of how much it costs!

[robi1000]

Ha ha, I'm sure he did it by himself or with the help of a friend or two. Down here you do it yourself or it's not done properly (most of the time).

I really like that new clutch. It's so... New. :lol:

[Markic]

As Robi said, we've done it ourselves, or noone would do it as it should be done.
I bought all the parts from renault. The price of the parts was 300 quid, what is a bargain! Clutch 90 quid. Oil, ball joints and other stuff are chips and change tbh.

:)

[cliokiz]

To be fair thats a reasonable price indeed.

But what 'special' tools do you need to disassemble and reassemble a gearbox?

Doubt it's something i could do.

[Markic]

why not matey? no some really special tools to do, it's all the same, like on the R-5 it's pretty simple. :)

[cliokiz]

I'm pretty sure i've heard that you need some crazy kinda tools to be able to dismantle and reassemble a gearbox?

[Markic]

I'm pretty sure i've heard that you need some crazy kinda tools to be able to dismantle and reassemble a gearbox?

Oh that, the guys who own the garage(my friends) have the tools. But they are like home made?!
I thought you meant you need tools for taking the box off lol
:D
I gotta say it's a big work tho, not for the begginers. Everthing has to go off underneath!

[Markic]

In the meantime my friends, car is on the road fully restored.
There are still few things that need to be done, but they are minor, small adjustments. I had a lot of problems with the paperwork of the car and registration in Croatia, because it was the only Williams in the Croatia buyed in Paris from new and imported to Croatia, but in Croatia catalogues, there was no such car?!? In the papers it said Clio C57M 2.0 115kW, and noone seemed to know what is it?!? So after the hassle and homologations, car is done and it's brutal. I'm enjoying every single moment in it!

Car specs:
- 1993, Nr. 1333, 141.000 kilometers (88.000 miles)
- Full body restored and repainted in original 449 Sports blue
- Full wheels restore and painted in original color code (a.nobel)
- Full transmission rebuild, new clutch, new suspension
- K&N panel filter with custom made air feed, Renault sport chip Gr. N spec
- Gr. N exhaust with restricted backbox (law, because of the noise...)

To come:

- GAZ collies
- brake upgrade

I like it a lot! Nice and clean!

(I just don't like how rims were refurbished. There's too much of a polished rim)

robi kako si? :)
It was a personalk touch of mine given to the wheels, i wanted it that was :)

I need you regarding gr.a airbox! and how about coffe? I live near the border Bregana!!!

[robi1000]

I'm fine, thank you!

If it's a personal touch, then it's ok.

I'm working on my car almost every day now. Hopefully it will be on the road in the next two months. I'd be glad to come for a cup of coffee!

Or I can come to you, however! :) what's the status of your car at the mo?

[dkrevs]

:clap:

[robi1000]

Well if you will ever come to Ljubljana, send me a PM and we can meet somewhere.

I'm currently refurbing different parts on the car, like rims, subframe,...

Also engine building starts this week, so there's plenty of work to do. :)

[Wobba]

Really nice mate. Whats with the big studs on the wheels? They for your 007 blades of death when on secret missions?

[stevie_b]

like I have a new car

Indeed. It looks stunning! Well done

[robi1000]

Looks mint!

Just a question... Are exterior plastics like front grille, bonnet vent, black plastic at side mirrors, etc. painted black or did you buy them all new? They look great! Really make the car look like new.

[Markic]

Every plastic on the car was painted :)

[robi1000]

Looks good!

[robi1000]

What's the weight of these 17'' rims?

PS: You must be loaded! Such rims cost a fortune, especially in magnesium.

[Markic]

I like to buy proper stuff Robi, and it was a good price, as they were in the warehouse for 10 years. I found them accidentally and bought them off for a fair price :)

I don't know they weight but will see and let you know :)

[northy]

shame the car was repainted.....how come it is on studs instead of wheel bolts?

Not into the 17's though

[Markic]

It's not a shame mate. Car was full of scratches and rears were rusty.
Now it's like new, a job was done by the best shop, so it's really what the car needed.

It's on studs because previous owner thought that would look cool. How wrong was he?

[Wobba]

It looks great, but I would ditch the studs and go back to bolts.

[northy]

keep the studs, just get them cut shorter to the nut

[Markic]

It looks great, but I would ditch the studs and go back to bolts.
Cheers mate,

It's going back to bolts mate, I got new bolts with new wheels :)

[Markic]

keep the studs, just get them cut shorter to the nut

Considered doing that, but they look abit rusty?

Stunning car Markic :D

I like the extra polished lip too!

Awesome pictures and awesome valver with 2012's... Loved the car!
Not fan of the Mercator tuning styling of the front fogs tho :?

[robi1000]

I don't like them either, but it's his "personal touch" and despite everybody telling him that he should change back to original, he will keep it this way. :D

[robi1000]

Oh and let me know when you guys are coming for a visit! It just might happen that my new bottom end will be assembled by then. :D

PS: I really like that keychain! Details are amazing!

[Markic]

Maybe next weekend after Easter? Or weekend after matey?

[robi1000]

Both dates are ok with me.

[Markic]

Great.
will talk to you on the phone later on and see :)

What's the weight of these 17'' rims?

Yep, it's MINT, well done. :)
Is ride height standard?

[Markic]

Yes, car is on standard suspension, and I'm not lowering it.
It drives best on oem suspension, as the roads in Croatia are in mess :(

Yeah, same in Slovenia. OEM suspension is best for road driving.

[Markic]

Planned to go for GAZ, then Robi made me change my mind.
In the meantime I wanted KW's, but gave up.

[robi1000]

Ha ha, there's still time for you to gear up with some GAZ or KWs. We should do a trackday or two at Grobnik next year. Coilovers should come in handy there.

Just remember to cherish those Speedline Magnesium rims, I'll take them off your hands if they are ever for sale (and not sold yet). 8)

Past and present. I must admit I like the past more, especially power-wise. 200 can't keep up with Willy on the straights.
The suspension on the other hand is a great piece of kit on Clio 200.

[cliokongen]

Great pictures - nice Willy!

Hello guys, i bought 2333 from Markić.
It got set of new oem shock apsorbers, when we got the old shock apsorbers down, we saw a new problem one spring was cracked, becouse new oem springs were too expensive i decided to buy apex springs. I also bought centar caps for rims becouse i missed two.

55405541

on the right side is cracked spring

5537

some pictures of car with apex

55385539


I still didnt drove it, so i do not know how the car behaves on apex springs.
Does anyone have experience with Apex springs, they are thinner than the original, I'm afraid that the car would be softer?

[jamiecrookston83]

Great pics of the williams and 200 together

[Vandella]

You have a lovley example of a williams my friend!! what exhaust system u got? looks omp-ish

[Görkem]

Maşallah Perfect !!! çok temiz bir Williams; bende bir Williams almak istiyorum ph1,ph2,p3 farketmez ama Türkiye ye gelişi nasıl olacak? gümrük alım-satım vb.gibi işlemler zahmetli bu konuda bilgisi olan yardımcı olursa sevinirim.

[dkrevs]

You can use Clio 16V or 172 springs as they're the same as Williams springs. Did you tried with hand which spring felt softer? Although Apex springs in this picture doesn't look like they're progressive, they might be softer than original Williams.
You can also use 182CUP springs which are aprox. 33% harder than original Williams and they lower the car around 15mm.

I have some springs from 16V i will see are they the same as the willy springs.
Hvala susjed

Čestitke na nabavi mrcine =D>

Yes, Clio 1.8 16V, 2.0 16V, 172 ph.1 and 172 ph.2, have identical front springs (two white dots), here is the proof
5556

I drove 172 ph.2 with Apex and the next day with stock springs and the difference was huge! I couldn`t drive it very hard with Apex, being on the bump stops all the time, no travel at the front at all! Almost dangerous too say at least, so I suggest you change to stock ;-)

Renault Klub Slovenija is planning a trip to the coast (Portorož) in 23.3., we could meet there if you have time ;-)
