jw4 Smokey's JW4 Formula Four Rebuild Thread
Mark (smokey mow) replied to Mark (smokey mow)'s topic in The Start Line
Hi Richard, there was a few different versions of the Mk2 sales brochure (at least 3). The last and most widely distributed as you correctly identify had Derek Minter driving. He completed in a number of races for Johnny Walker following his retirement from bike racing and through his association with Villiers. I believe this may have been taken at Lydden. In the Pictures the car appears white but in actual fact it was bright yellow as can be seen in this picture from the 1967 racing car show at Olympia which is one of the few colour photos I have.- 460 replies

THey don't like been repeatably stopped and started when cold. If you start it best to get it up to temp before switching off again else you can foul the plugs. -

There's not many places to put a cylinder. If it's not in the passenger footwell, perhaps it's been removed? -

Check the valve gaps to see if the have been set incorrectly

The misfire is in the low rev range, it seems to rev out of it if you give it some throttle. It only starts to appear when engine bay temperatures start to climb. So cold start from the garage and initial drive out, it is fine. Then comes in after sometime. The recommendations all sound great. The dash has a Ctek socket, so I also want to get the trickle charger to be able to plug it in. The car also has plumbed fire extinguisher system, but I cannot see a cylinder anywhere. I'll have to chase the lines, but does anyone know where the bottle should've been and where I could get a replacement?

Blyton Missing Friday trackday before the sprint weekend?
Kingster replied to DamperMan's topic in Track Days
I think this is because the club (motorsports side) used to organise the whole weekend. But now we don’t. -
DamperMan started following Blyton Missing Friday trackday before the sprint weekend?

For years and years there was a Trackday the friday before the sprint weekend at Blyton. Numbers where good pre-covid, 2022 post covid numbers where difficult to achieve but I think we managed to get good numbers on the day just people did not book up in advance. BUT the event has been canned since due to lack of numbers. The trackday was great as there was only westfields on track, evening Camping, lots of BBQ's, Beer, Chat, and everything was really sociable and it felt like a real community. The weathergods also seamed to be on our side the 3 years I did it. Would the powers that be consider running it again? or has it fallen so far off the radar it will never return.

Lovely car and welcome. If you do need a shortened gear stick let me know I have loads of them kicking about from rebuilding the gearboxes lol. The clutch is night and day different with the advised replacement clutch slave and rob has covered oil usage. Just enjoy it, I’m sure you will figure it all out and there is plenty of help on here if needed.

Carbon light pods for detachable arches ?
Kingster replied to Michael Berisford's topic in The Start Line
Was a while back when I built my car - the pods very nearly fit out of the box. Was easy enough to trim with a craft knife to get them spot on though. -
Wanted one top and lower standard track front wishbone in black

Something Westfield related for me finally. I received the replacement pushrod for my AP Racing Master cylinder so replaced that and got it all put back together. Hopefully 🤞 can get the brakes bled today and if the weather is good take it to the meet tomorrow night. I’ll post up separately with more on what I’ve done. Hopefully my pedals are finally well positioned and I’ll have a firm brake pedal 👍🤞
