All Activity

Do my best to attend

I’ll be at the crosshands pub. Looking forward to it.

I'll try to get along to meet everyone. Mark

After a while away from the club, I've just collected another Westfield. It's a bit of a project, so I'm going to need lots of bits. Please keep checking back, and I will update. Prefer items in very good condition please. Need to be prepared to post, or within reach of Oxfordshire. For starters: 13" Wheels and /or tyres - something half decent preferably that will fit an early wide (1990 chassis, fixed arches) without spacers, which I think means something around an ET15. Either all 6J or 6J fronts and 7J rears. Momo Team 280 Steering wheel and boss. Upper steering column - I'm guessing it's the older one (Escort?). Black proper Westfield 5 3/4" headlights. A set of front wishbones - must be in good condition. I think it's standard track at the moment but I haven't checked yet. Decent RAC type roll bar, preferably with the eyelets for the hood frame mounting. Complete interior carpet set or alternative. Seats (not urgent but if anyone has a nice set) - something lightweight preferred. Any lightweight shiny alloy bits - uprights, hubs, brakes etc etc. Budget is limited, so please be nice!

Would be rude not to the 90mile around daily commute when the weathers so nice. Sunny but it was bitter cold 🥶

I've owned the car seven years now and has improved every year and drives so nicely. I am the second owner and the original builder enjoyed it for five years as was registered in 2013 with the help of Northampton Motorsport. The original build is a standard SDV with lowered floors based on the MX5. This is based on the mk2 MX5 and has the correct year plate from the car. The engine is standard 1.8 withe the 5speed gearbox and rear axle. All the brakes, hubs, driveshafts, steering column, wiring, instruments and controls come from the original MX5 making it reliable and easy to work on if you like spannering. I'm always tinkering and modifying which has put the car in a great shape. This year I've added a raised sump to give extra ground clearance. Last year I stripped all the hubs and calipers which has resulted in amazing brake performance and an unusually good handbrake. I'll list some stuff to keep me from waffling on too long: Flat top intake manifold - best Mazda manifold and quite rare now. BP5A exhaust manifold - best Mazda NA manifold and super rare. Injectors rebuilt and balanced by Mr. Injector. Sport cat and decat pipe included. Coolant bypass - professionally made ali pipework. New battery Gearbox and diff oil replaced last year. New clutch last year. Interior has JK carbon top seats. Carbon fibre chassis rail covers. Carbon fibre entry covers. Caged half cage with high level brake light. Side screens and deflectors. Vinyl boot box cover. Car cover One of the lighter Westfield's at about 600 Kg. The screen can be removed as have an aero screen to save weight and to aid aerodynamics. Spare set of wheels can be included at the right price. Lots I've forgotten to mention. £8950ono 07400 656562 robthomas5@yahoo.co.uk

Currently stripping my car down , I believe they are Rally Design wishbones to give an extra wide track with rack spacers. £150 posted. Some ware and surface rust.

Westfield SEIW roll bars , standard and a shortened RAC bar, unfortunately the RAC bar didn’t give enough clearance for my seatbelt set up. £75 for both.

a quick trip to Curborough today for breakfast club to catch up with @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO and met Nathan - middle yellow FW - sorry don’t have your details - @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO could you tag him pls? and Michael with his replica GTO

Looking forward to this tomorrow, weather looks perfect 😎 For those meeting us at the Cross Hands pub (BS37 6RJ), I’ll see you there around 08.45. And for those meeting us at Five Zeros, we should be there around 09.30.

Sounds like a fab route. Unfortunately my car is still without an engine for a few more weeks ☹️

You'll barge your way in 😉

Don’t think there are enough spaces there between those cars?

Vw Golf R Dsg 2015 , 79k with Vw history . 19” Pretoria alloys , Dynaudio . Drives well . Few scratches / scuffs commensurate with age . £12400

Great. We usually park here-

Hi , I will be there tomorrow, did the peaks last time really enjoyed it , so we meet at McDonald’s then ?

Excellent news @Markh80 North East Area Organiser see you there!

See you there Mark

I really quite like those wheels 👌

Afternoon everybody my name is Mark, and I have taken on the role lately of area organiser for the north east. I am hoping to put together along with help of some other members some meets and runs out for members to get involved in through out this year and will hopefully be documenting this throughout. I am looking at starting our local meets again as of Tuesday the 15th of April with the venue being church mouse , Chester moor, chester le street DH2 3RJ 7pm This venue has been used several times in the past so feel it's a good starting point to gauge interest . I am looking forward to hopefully seeing some you northeast lads there and seeing if we can hopefully bring the Westfield/kit car scene back to the north east thanks Mark

Just been informed that we will be there tomorrow. Had it been left up to me I would have been in the garden still, chopping up trees.

This sounds interesting. For me, a Crossflow engined car is becoming something worth preserving and the engine is getting valuable - I'd really like to see one modernised and ideally fuel injected

After owning my Westfield Sei with a crossflow engine for three years, and after spending a lot of time thinking, meditating, and stressing over whether I should restore it or upgrade it by swapping the crossflow engine for a Zetec or Sigma, I’ve finally decided to start by restoring and upgrading the chassis, body, interior, and other parts. I’ll also restore the crossflow engine and see if, with all these improvements, the car brings me enough satisfaction. As the car stands today, it has a lot of problems. For starters, there are some fumes coming from I-don’t-know-where, but by the end of a drive, I always need a shower. The braking system isn’t working properly, the pedals have too much play and move around — which feels a bit dangerous. I’m also quite short (1.65 m), and I can’t reach the pedals properly without a cushion. On top of that, the electrical system and switches look old, and the speedometer doesn’t work very well. So as you can see, I have a lot of work ahead of me. So here is my build — or better said, restoration — diary. I’ll start with the electrics, and I’ll try to complete each task as I go, while also doing some things in parallel to shorten the overall timeline of the project.

Very surprised 😮 that this hasn't been snapped up!

Think we should be ok for this 🤞see you there A&B
