Looks a proper weapon and in the best colour too.

I'm same age but sold my BEC last year. I do miss it at times but I prefer my Zetec turbo Westie these days. And it's quicker than my GSX-R1000 BEC was. Had them both for a couple of years but someone made me an offer I'd have been stupid to turn down so the Exo BEC now has a very happy life in Cornwall

Lots of bus pictures which is a bit worrying but a could of actual pics as well

Such a shame they allow such small numbers each day. This used to be a much better event! I hope Nigel is still allowed to attend. Thanks @John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO for continuing to represent WSCC at the event!

Nice to see you prioritised the correct car i the foreground but were you about to fall off the fence when you took the picture😜 See y'all later

What is the black humpy thing between the roll bar and seats on the blue car? Some kind of windbreak maybe?

Sorry not us ☹️ feeding the family 🙄 so relegated to kitchen staff duties 👨‍🍳 have a great time and catch you next time A & B

Respect! I am 10 yrs younger but feel kind of "stiff" , and not so quick, and maybe overthinking all - what could go wrong (and knowing every part od it there is a lot in my imagination ) Maybe part of this is because there was so many fu..ups to manage building this car, no support at all from MNR, if managed to order some parts, got wrong ones , doble VAT, no MNR community like this Club and its Members. Sorry for that compliant but it is really shock from me entering kitrcar word with Westfield and it was soo easy thanks to this Community, lot of know how on internet, in that times support from Westfield parts shop. With MNR - other word. Good it was not my first kitcar. It would be the last for sure:) So many build-rebuild , custom parts, finding person for proper engine build... etc in this car that I need time to get some confidence to it. As for the revs - I ve heard full range while on dyno (thik it was 13k rop, max power at approx 12k), edit , found it :

You need to book if you want your Westfield to be on our stand.

I am in car 83.

Matt and I will be there in INV7, car 35 & 735

Looks like a weapon your never too old im 64 and drive the wheels off mine there's nothing like 13,500 rpm and a sequential gearbox and you have 10 horsepower more than me get out and enjoy it.

Looks like I’ve finished it !!! (well, still need to work on the corner weight, but I've set the rest of the geometry), but I’m almost afraid to say it (finished) ... because whenever I do, something turns out to need reworking and time flies. It has flown by so fast that I feel older and less eager for a machine that is definitely more extreme than the Westfields I used to drive. And now I don’t know if I’ll be able to ride it; it really seems fast (Honda CBR 1000RR, 192 horsepower, 129 Nm). After short run around home today, to bring temperatures to working area, check brakes etc.. brrrr it was sometimes scarry and loud, very loud (it has smal motocycle silencer )

Sold.

Just a reminder that it's time for the next meeting tomorrow, at The Falcon, Birmingham Road, Hatton, CV35 7HA, from around 7.30pm. Hopefully, the weather will play ball and allow a good turnout of cars! Don't forget about the A46 closure! Check your route if you normally use the A46. See you there!

I'm hoping to come and watch on one of the days. I've always wanted to take part but never really had a chance.

Just over a week to go for this trip. I have booked 22 degrees and sunshine. Cheers bellyboy Anyone who wants to join in please get in touch.

Funnily enough, I now have the Anderson solid lifters. All fitted an absolute treat.

Can I have an email copy of my club membership card or post one to me. I am at gurston next weekend and they need to see it apparently.

QED website is showing the fitted height for the previous "MKI" springs. Good springs but they were limited on valve lift at 0.450" so that's presumably part of the reason that they have changed the spec. I've used Turbosport lifters on a number of occasions and they've always been fine. With all types you sometimes get one or two that are a bit tighter in the bores than the others but if the majority are the same then there is clearly a manufacturing issue. Can't go wrong with Piper stuff, I'm currently using their springs. Pricey but a good deal can be had from Anderson Race Engines. ARE lifters are good too.

This show is now free to exhibit.

Selling due to lack of use, its mint. 2.0 Zetec blacktop. Engine was replaced a few years ago, its covered around 3k miles i would say. Currently has 12880 on the clock. Ive had it 2 years and had a new clutch, new diff. Its on twin webers which run perfectly. 2 fat folders worth of history down to nuts and bolts used on the build. It had a mini restoration by a previous owner a few years ago, which i have aprox 100+ photos from. New suspension brakes, and the engine. Ive covered probably 600miles in the two years ive had it which just isnt enough for me justify keeping it. I know i will regret it massively.. £11950

It's been done before

My repair and development thread is now updated with results and info.

Thank you!
