riccardoAUS Posted 13, March 2013 Report Share Posted 13, March 2013 My name is Riccardo I'm originally from Italy where I was Rally driver and preparator of Clio Gr.N / Gr.A / Super 1600. jNEG6JlRESU __0TVb3_ZV8 Now I'm in Sydney, Australia, where I bought from my new neighbour a Clio RS 172 for $3500. My dream always was to have an exactly replica of the Clio Super 1600, wide bodykit, 17" rally rims, 220cv, sequential gb with LSD. since when I was 18 all my Clios ( and Megane Coach/Cup (3) i always had the Sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox on them.. For road and for race. I was deeply in love with the first Clio Williams so after 20 years I decided that I want a Clio with the same characteristics that made that car so beautiful. 1- Wide than a normal Clio - (I will put Super 1600 arches) 2- Full intense race Blue - (I will wrap the entire car with WF22) 3- Big light racing gold rims - (I will put "18 gold superlight Clio V6) 4- interior with blue trim and numbered plaque - (I will wrap some parts with carbon fiber blue and the Williams logos and I will make the new 00/99 gold plaque) The project of course involve the performances and handling, Sadev sequential gearbox (with standard joint and 60% LSD) , sport/racing cams, ECU, 300mm brake with 4 pot calipers, full exhaust but with electric valve on the exhaust (just to be legal) and good quality coilovers. At the moment I'm half way of my project and I will start a thread so whoever likes this new Clio Williams IV can share with me opinions. see u soon! ps sorry about the english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClioF1 Posted 13, March 2013 Report Share Posted 13, March 2013 Looks promising where are you sourcing the Sadev from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 13, March 2013 Report Share Posted 13, March 2013 Welcome mate! That's an interesting project. I'm fairly certain the car won't be road legal with a sequential gearbox, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 13, March 2013 Report Share Posted 13, March 2013 Welcome! This sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see more details. Frank, eat your heart out! BTW, why would a sequential be illegal for road use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 13, March 2013 Report Share Posted 13, March 2013 BTW, why would a sequential be illegal for road use? I remember reading about it a while ago. Something about not being to engage neutral from any gear - ie. having to cycle down all the way through the gears. In any case, it's going to need an engineering certificate.

Thats incorrect, have mates who have built both sequential Quaife/Toyota engined and Hyabusa engined PRB's for use in NSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound right to me nemz, you can't select neutral from any gear on a motorbike.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems I'm mistaken. Didn't want to distract from the awesome build that the OP is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupremeMoFo Posted 14, March 2013 Report Share Posted 14, March 2013 Sounds awesome! Although, again, on grounds of legality, pretty sure any non-OEM method of varying exhaust volume is illegal (including Varexes and the like) purely because it can vary the volume. *shrug* Happy to be proven wrong. (won't tell anyone anyway, I promise ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave200 Posted 14, March 2013 Report Share Posted 14, March 2013 Indeed the Varex is illegal in NSW at least but it would need an eagle eyed cop or pink slip inspector to spot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
