New member saying hi


Zetecinside

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

Hopfully this is the way to do things.

Im a new member to the Forum and i have a very early westie chassis. Its bare and never been registered. 

Im looking to make it into a track day toy. Nothing over the top. Idealy looking at a home brewed turbo zetec for power, four speed box and live axle (came as a package)

So when the weather gets warmer i hope to get started.

:ww: from sunny Somerset. Sounds an intriguing project, please consider posting a build thread on the forum. It's a good way to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience available from members.

I will indeed post up when the project starts. As its such and old car and i can really be bothered with it being on the road, it will be a pure track day car. However not spending buckets loads will be the idea. Trailer to tracks and have fun.

I have a silvertop zetec and a s2 manifold that will be configured to suit. Turbo is smallish for fast spool up from a scooby ( mitsy series). Boost will be kept to around 11psi or 1.8 ratio. 440cc injectors. No decompression plates.

Thats the easy bits, i dont have anything beyond the turbo yet but looking for a decent intercooler then onto the induction side, no parts for that either.

Just looking for a torquey motor that responds from of idle and not a massively boosted future hand grenade.

Nice. A local too. To be more acurate its Gosport but not many know where that is. Moved here last year after serving the Queen for 25yrs.

So do we have a South Hants meet at all? I didnt see anything recent when searching. If not, any one fancy meeting up somewhere for a chat and quick drink? (Non alcoholic off course, Ant)

There used to be a Hants and Wilts group but I never got around to going, partly as I'm at the eastern side of Hampshire and the meets tended to be over at the Hants/Wilts border.

There is a specific Hants/Wilts forum

http://wiltsandhants.proboards.com/

but it is not used much at all partly due to the AO stepping down.

Apparently there is a Facebook group but I'm not on Facebook.
