We offer to sell rally special Renault Clio Williams. Year of manufacture is 1994, it is one of the last produced pieces, serial number 3517. Car is build for group A. 4 original Speedline discs (gold ones) are included with car AND 4 brand new BRAID discs in rally specs (completely new, never driven) with same dimensions. There was a lot of work done with the car.
Engine is mounted firmly (sturdily) using modified silent-blocks (engine mounting parts), most stressed engine mount part is manufactured tailored from very hard and robust material hardned alloy (CERTAL). Just this one mount costed 480€. These firm engine mounts are absolute must for HEWLAND type gearbox (dog box), which is used in this car. It is 5 speed, no-clutch-needed gearbox with H type shifting. Gear ratios are made for rally racing, maximum speed is around 175 km/h (108 mph), long first gear. Gearbox is high quality and reliable, it has also reinforced casing, because generally gearboxes on Clios were cracking.

Part of gearbox is also multi-plate limited slip differential (LSD), which is adjustable when opening gearbox. Actual setup is cca in the middle, so it is engaging soon, but not too uncomfortable to driver. Clutch is sport ceramic 4 segment with shortened movement!

Driveshafts and joints are brand new and reinforced. Car has special suspension in front from Beckert motorsport (they are Reiger copies) with external reservoirs (!) and they are adjustable. Suspension is primarily for tarmac. Rear shock absorbers are original Bilstein Motorsport (made in Germany). Mounting of front shock absorbers is converted and redesigned to sporty and it is also reinforced, it is possible to change declination. We have been tuning suspension for a long time and it costed us a lot of money until we found optimal variant. Car is behaving well, it does not jump all around and it is keeping on the road even on very rough surfaces, while not leaning (pitching).

There is high quality protection plate (ski) from robust but light material under the engine, so whole bottom of car is protected against impacts from bottom, for example while cutting corners.

With this set-up engine is very reliable, we have had absolutely no engine failures at all.

Car was never seriously crashed in its history and it was never straightened. We had a few unfinished races because of serial drive shafts, but we have replaced those with problem-proof new and reinforced drive shafts by now. This is finished rally car, which by the way You can also register into historic group (advantage of lower starting fees).

We include a lot of spare parts with the car, for example whole chassis subframe, power steering, starter motor, alternator, front bumper, original williams fenders (very hard to find).
