Clio williams possibly going for peanuts

[volvosneverdie]

thats not a williams dude.
its an f7p in williams blue.

nice spot though.

[T.J.]

So, the f7p isn't the same as the clio williams engine?

[volvosneverdie]

F7P is a 1.8 and the Williams is an 2.0 F7R.

[T.J.]

ok, scuse the noobness.. but apparently my car had the clio williams engine. So that makes it a 2.0? there wasn't a 1.8 version?

[Speedy88]

Nope. Although many will say the 1.8 is a Williams, it's not really. It's basically the same though, just smaller with a lot less torque.

^ Sceney knows his beaneys.

good rule of thumb: 1.8= good. 2.0= williams powaz. And he should know. Hes got one.

Looking at some of Sam's posts it says F7P not F7R - i.e. this thread http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... f=8&t=1190

Ah yes, if it was a 1.8 you'll now be arrested for false advertising. Please remain seated citizen, interceptors are on their way.

Ahh, yes.. thats sam who i bought it from.. but he got it from joe who did the original conversion (it was a grey 4 door till it was reshelled).

[volvosneverdie]

Theres an easy way to find out.

Is the engine coade F7P or F7R?

1.8s are by no means "bad" dude. So dont be down on it.

Theres not a great deal of actual williams engines around.
