right im sick of my car at the moment, im bored of it cos ive not done anything to it for so long

im considering a new car, want something newer like a saxo vts/106gti but these wont be quick enough for me

so im thinking about whacking a williams engine in my valver, the speed difference between williams and valver (even my semi tuned valver) is silly

wouldnt cost me too much and id have my old engine to sell

opinions/thoughts?

13bhp difference, but the williams engine has many uprated bite so its easier to get big power from them

Williams engine will be even more pricey to service and fix than your 1.8 already is... even if you get a low mileage one your not guaranteed an easy life!
Your car does look the bollox and i would have one tmoz if i could get a decent one. But... i would get a genuine Williams!
Just my opinion tho. Do what you wanna do fella.

williams engine is more or less the same as valver engine, the willy lump is a bored out valver lump with slightly different internals so servicing and maintenance costs will be more or less the same

and if i get a low miler engine then theres less chance of things going wrong

......in theory at least
