Hi, I'd start by taking a close look at all of the fuel lines, as any original ones likely won't be ethanol proof and could be hiding splits and potential leaks... Recommend replacing all with Gates Barricade which is 100% ethanol proof (pricey but not crazily so). Also check you have a wiring diagram to match as there could be tired/corroded connectors waiting to strand you 🙂 Fibreglass quality was good in the 90s so it should polish up nicely 👌

Yes. Car is 647kg without me.

Hi, Totally new to owning a Westfield but really excited as been wanting to find the perfect car to start my classic car journey for years and should be picking up my Westfield next week. I wanted to ask for any bits of advice that maybe you wish you knew back when you were first starting out and were new to it all. I'm getting a 1997 SE. It's got a Burton Power kent crossflow engine with stage 3 cylinder head. When i looked it over it think the rev timing is too slow and the carbs need tuning but apart from that seems all pretty good. What are those good tips and tricks for a new owner? Best starter tools to invest in? Most important maintenance jobs to learn first? Very much a beginner but really keen to learn everything so any help and guidance is appreciated

I'm assuming you had Dave Gallop do your set up @Paul Baker - Bristol Bath and Cotswold AO? How was it afterwards? I should go see him myself and get the Carrot done really. It's not been done since Northampton Motorsport did it in I think 2019.

I was going to ask the same. Looks like you've got 53% weight RHS and 47% LHS, but I'm baffled by the 49.9 bit. I'm still reading and the answer is bound to be already mentioned 😂 Is the total weight of 721kgs with you included @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO? Pretty sure it is.

@Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO - you are saving me so much time and guesswork for when I replace my seats. Can't thank you enough mate for all the work you very obviously put into everything you do WSCC-wise! 👌 If there was a club vote for 'member of the year' you'd get my vote. I now await all the member jokes........

Enjoy the racing 👍 @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO

I've just entered for the Sunday in event class 4D. They're more than happy to accept late entries if you contact them

Hi Ian, thanks for the offer, I’m looking to get a set ready to drop in when I’ve finished the rear end refurb & have an option on refurb of my original leathers with head rest - so a little torn in which way to go. If I change my mind I’ll come back to you. BR Phil 👍

Sorry I can't join you today @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Have a great day.

@RickRack Hi Phil, these aren't brand new, however you could get them refurbished with yellow piping and still have spent far less than a pair of new items from WCL.

Sold to a buyer on Ebay for £580

Looking for a pair of sports turbo seat in black & yellow or black - must be in very good condition. Pls PM me with a couple of photos if you do. Cheers Phil R

Hi Maurici, do you have any photos & are there pre-drilled holes? Thanks

Seems like a good place to put this! Good luck with your search

Hmm colour blind maybe 🤔

Congratulations Gareth Hope to see you at Malvern Andy

And at the same time proving that blue cars are faster than orange ones I see.... D

Yep, definitely orange!

Yep I want it on a tee shirt but car would have to be orange

I reckon that would make a great new WSCC flag! 😂

@ianaliare you sure it’s not ‘your’ dog because you feed and walk it more than your daughter 🤣

I took mine on the track the other day, impressed how fast it was…. 🤪🤣🤣

Nice little ride out today with little one.

Not us, doggy sitting for daughters dog. Have a great day and may the sunshine on you all 👍
