I wouldnt bother mate, its a Renault so it will get faster anyway when the bits start falling off making it lighter!!

I took one for a test drive last year and to be honest I didnt see what all the fuss was about.

Had nitrous (75bhp jets) in my r 19 16v. Went very well till it killed the gearbox and busted a piston. One progressive controller and new gearbox later it was very quick and reliable.

I drove a mate Clio 16v years ago and was a superb car. The Williams is supposed to be a better car again.

I cant slag Renault build quality i had one for 2years and nothing went wrong with it in that time.

mate has just bought 19 16v with a willams engine in and he thinks it more powerful than my mk3 fiesta 16v . just drove it and rather have my fiesta.

Had a william clio 7years ago 1 of my favourite cars ive ever owned redlined for 3 years solid never used oil always looked fresh as a daisy handled superb out of the box crackin car in every aspect with the strengthend subframe and 2.0l engine it was awesome in its day !!!

Ultra reliable ball joint snapped after knocking for 6 months my own fault causing driveshaft to sheer out and snap wing and front bumper off cost me a lot of money for ignoring a simple Ł7.48 ball joint

Dont think ive ever owned a car that took as much abuse as that did everyday it was so addictive!!!

Engine spot on if anything gearbox was a big weak link as always renault boxes are 1st gear in the glove box and 2nd on the back seat somewhere !!!! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red16

spot on

i had a Clio 16v with williams engine, coilovers etc, was a hoot to drive, handled like a gokart, went alright too, wast rapid obviously but was still fun.

yup, mate's just dropped a well tuned williams engine into his clio 16 valve. The bloke who set up the cams and mapped it says its up with the fastest 3 mk1 clios in the country

As said, the Williams is a 2ltr, the 'Valver' as its known is the 1.8

Dont bother tuning for power imo, not worth it and even spending big money you wont get decent power that other cars will for half the price.

What the Williams does is handle like a Go-Kart. Stripped and wise suspension mods will see them destroy much faster cars on tight circuits. Take a stupidly tight track like Haynes and not much will beat one.

a ripmax one, really
