Less dirt and clean surfaces = Less drag = faster.

I've only got a new heat shield, header tank and supersprint. Rest is as it left the factory. Painting looks good but I prefer the clean standard look.

Drag under the bonnet lol

Anyways areodrnamics only start to have a noticable effect on speed over 100 mph iirc

Suppose it might be a little less weight lol
big hp
22-02-2006, 22:06
Less weight, LOL all of about 100g i can imagine.
Lunner
22-02-2006, 22:23
If that lol, but you tell that to the people who cut 5mm off the end of a bolt, all of 10g lol

As was said look after teh pennies and the poubnnds will look after themselves......look after the grams,a nd the kilos will look after themselves :lol:

Gunner why do you have a Williams battery cover when you don't have a Williams :?

Maybe i should go and stick evo VIII badges on my car for those extra 10 bhp

good one !
Jamie.
23-02-2006, 18:13
:lol: lol

williams engine tho isnt it? :?


are u just spamming AGAIN?

gunner has a clio 16v which he has made up to be a williams rep. it has williams track and engine. so what lunner was referring to is the fact that he buys williams stuff for it but it is in actual fact only a 16v shell.
northy
23-02-2006, 18:15
williams 3's are more a less a 16v shell mate. Bar the chassis number.
Jamie.
23-02-2006, 18:20
huh?

i was explaining why lunner said what he did.

my point is gunner doesnt have a geniune williams not anything else
Lunner
