    Newbie In West Yorkshire

    Hi All,

    New W2 Owner based in West Yorkshire, Had the Car a few months now & thoroughly enjoyed driving her the 4 days I did before ripping her apart for what was meant to be light restoration!
    So far all the running gear is ripped off and either getting powder coated or replaced with New/Upgraded (Thanks to information found here)

    Alright Jon, good to see you took the plunge, would be great to see some shots of the running gear etc

    Car looks good on the outside, whats the current mileage ? Did you buy it with some known issues or do you just like tinkering or even future proofing ?

    Nice on Alex

    Alright Alex,

    I bought it with a few very Minor faults and basically got carried away
    So far I've had a full Stainless Manifold & system made & the rear axle is away for re-furn & powder coating, all new wishbones with Poly Bushes, New suspension, Brembo 4-pot upgrade from a 406 Coupe, New discs & Calipers all around
    (Drilled/Grooved), 182 Brake Servo & non-ABS Master...............................Just purchased these lol, What have you Planned for yours??????

    Better not hijack Jons thread so if you want to continue maybe best to discuss on my newbie thread

    Ha ha no problem with hijacking my thread at all, the W2 has 113k on her but the new engine and running gear will reset that, also managed to find a full set of door cards for her so she should be pretty mint when finished!!

    Good luck with your viewing tomorrow, I had plenty of 309's when I was younger and a couple of 5GT's but always wanted a Williams and it didn't dissapoint 18years on

    The engine needs a few more tweeks to get he upto the spec I set out but its nearly there, when shes finished it'll be:-

    2.1 HC pistons
    H-Beam Rods
    Ported and polished head (double valve spring)
    Mild Cat cams & pulleys
    Knife edge crank
    Full stainless system inc manifold-no cat
    Race bearings
    ARP bolts
    GRP-A flywheel
    Megasquirt 3
    Dbilas 45mm ITB's
    Mocal oil cooler
    4-core alu rad
    She should move fairly rapido

    Youre going for a heavily modded car, I think I will try and keep mine standard, it depends what I buy...I also don't know as much as you, but I'm learning

    The classic insurance is just a bit more than than an E36 M3 EVO at double the price and double the BHP !

    Just shows how sought after and rare they are getting
