have u seen the deprecation on the new 182s theres one in my auto trader for 9,500 less than a year old says it all really mk1 is king

Apart from the Williams (of course) every other Clio is/was just as bad for depreciation.

I wonder how much Renault paid Evo for the Williams review?

[KingStromba]

They no longer marketed the car so didnt have to.





















Its how much i paid evo that counts

[lagerlout1]

the more willy owners the better

I test drove a 182 and ahve to say I was very impressed, handled very well and had bags full of front end grip, not sure how well it would do on the track but on the road its a very competent machine. It did seem to lack the character of the Williams in my opinion. In the williams everything seems more raw and mechanical if that makes sense.

Also used to own a 172 cup (wrote it off like most of the others :( ) which was very different from the 182, again more raw and seemed to be a little more focused, much closer to the spirit of the Williams.

Your diesel box was quicker than a valver box?

[J o n]

once going yeah, would murder it. 3rd gear ranged from 15mph to 100+mph.

when I first had a do against Northy with the old box on the way to york I had a decat, backbox and K&N panel, but had a passenger and he was on his own... not only that but a blow in the center section and at the decat. I instantly pulled a car length at 70mph in 3rd and then held that til 4th, where he pulled that back and then ended up a car in front of me... then it came on cam and it was kinda game over from there as 110+ in 4th is when it starts to get going again. Would easily do 140mph in 4th, it was just over on the speedo... 5th just goes WELL off the clock.

I'd say it's quicker upto 60 now and drives a lot better, as it behaved exactly the same way as a valver before and was as quick as Wayne's to 60, but 70+ it would pish on him and the gap would get to about 6-8 cars by 100.

What was first and second like?

[dannyt]

flippen heck thats a big gap jebus, i was having a do with martin the other day after he'd been to hill power and to about 110 he only pulled roughly 3 cars on me!!!

That new box and stuff must have improved things!!
