I run a dead head system fuelling system too, blanking off the fuel rail in the same way as @Matt_S has.

I've always kept all my cars clean and shiny, and the Westfield is no different. It's always put away clean, so it's in pristine condition for when it next comes out of the garage. Some may laugh, but I find it therapeutic. There's a process to go through, and it allows me to switch off whilst I'm doing that. Regarding the Westfield specifically, I had the same question as the OP to start with about 'how'! I tend to carefully wash it in sections so as not to soak anything too much with the hose etc. Current favourite products are a mix of Gyeon and Gtechniq.

@John Higgins Here’s the specific point about the Fiesta fuel pump it has a self return hence only needing the one fuel line to the throttle bodies. I just blanked off my fuel line with a screw on cap form Torques.

Nice one and I agree about enjoying it too. Can't beat a good run, I'm actually just in the door been out since 5, but on the days I'm not out driving I enjoy looking after my cars. Means I get more out of the cars and as you say keeps me out of trouble too...

Poundland shampoo and nano polish. Got some clay bars but can't be bothered......

I was never one for washing mine! A small blat was always more fun 😁

I quite like the ritual of washing my Westy - two bucket method, autoglym shampoo then two coats of meguiars paste wax, the autoglym vinyl product on all the seats and trim and whatever horrible chemical is closest for the wheels. I tend to find that as long as the wax holds, little blemishes and bug splatter just wife off with a damp cloth. To be honest, it's a lot of faff but I quite enjoy it and it keeps me out of trouble for a couple of hours!

Mark, I think it was the same last year, you just wait until the finals are published. Dave

Most definitely will post some pics. Sun's shining too tomorrow 👍

Nothing yet on website, I did the bank transfer a month ago and had no response. Hopefully I will get confirmation soon

Wow, that is a great looking car. It’s just like my current car, but with all of the upgrades that I am planning to do over the coming years already fitted! The right colour too…. A couple of quick questions: 1. What is the mileage and origin of the engine? 2. What is the build history of the car, home built, factory? Many thanks

Nice evening sat outside a nice pub, until recently there was only gas lights in the Kings Arms, very dark inside.

I went from four point to six point and personally find it much easier to buckle up. I used to find myself having to nearly dislocate my shoulder to get them on, so just being able to fit the waist belts and shoulder straps separately is quite easy.

True enough, I could lose far more weight from the car, by losing a few stone myself! Mainly it’s about not having to worry about them getting wet or mouldy.

Fantastic, I do love my soft bits half hood

Enjoy! Post some pics, if you can 👍

A group of us from the Essex and Kent area are heading up for an Opentrack day tomorrow at Snetterton. If any other members are around pop along and say hello.

@John Higgins I run a dead head system, so just one feed line to the fuel rail. If you look at the first thread in my first reply there is a fuel system diagram, I take it the ford fuel pump will work the same hence one feed coming from the tank to the injectors.

Yeah I do like it, but it's expensive. I see that P&S do something similar and cheaper. Need all my cash for upgrades...

I wouldn't be without my carpets. The weight saving would make zero difference to my driving ability anyway 😂

ONR is awesome stuff especially on GRP and inside a garage! I use it for loads of things. Keep some in a spray bottle mixed 16:1 for bird poo soaking and removal on my tin-tops with a super soft microfibre cloth

Looking good 👍

I use the hose on low pressure and just washing up liquid. The cheapest of cheap from Aldi. Dried with microfiber cloths and polished with Demon Shine. Always looks fine to me.

Hi Matt, Tim Reid's build is very good and sound like the solution I want. There's one thing that I didn't understand and that's the lack of a fuel return pipe. I have AT Power TB's and the fuel rail has in and out. Perhaps someone can clarify things for me.
